Dressing fashionably is a very cultural thing which northern European cultures don't really share.
While British wear adidas shoes and tracking suits, Milano guys are busy putting gel on their hair and pressing their suit!
it's a cultural thing.
That doesn't mean every single person in Italy dress like a fashion model or every single British person dresses informal, but generally many do respectively, in Italy culturally people care a lot about fashion unlike the UK, America.
Israel, Argentina and Japan are also extremely fashion conscious cultures. If you walk around Tel Aviv or Buenos Aires you see all these girls that look like they are going to a fashion show!
While in less fashion centric places like America most girls are wearing a gap sweater, a pony tail and running shoes.
I'm sorry this is just stereotypical nonsense, everybody knows that the French wear stripey blue and white jumpers and wear beret's hardly cutting edge fashion.
Yes, it's true the Italians are very elegant. I remember going out on a boat trip run by a family. Dad was driving (do you "drive" a boat?), and young teenage son was at the gangplank helping and welcoming people aboard, in a crazily smart suit (and sunglasses, natch). He stayed on land, and when we returned 3 hours later he was waiting on the quay in a COMPLETELY different suit . That said, I've met some incredibly scruffy Italians in London (and am friends with a lovely, but very scruffy guy from Buenos Aires).
Doesn't change though. They all look the same, and the same as they did 10 years ago. Same style, same haircut.
Yes - lots of Brits are sloppy, but Britain has fantastic street fashion. It's bound in with music culture, and never stops changing - particularly in London. I find it far sexier than the predictable "style" countries.

And aren't a lot of them wearing mime makeup? That's hardly attractive - and is in fact pretty irritating.
Talking about stereotypes,i don't understand if italians are considered vulgar or sophisticated?Seems that stereotyping they're considered both.What do you think?

How many societies have you seen in the world where everyone's the same? It's a bit of both, and more. There are class differences, regional differences, etc.

I thought the French tend to isolate themselves from others by walking on high wires 20 floors above the pedestrian hustle-bustle. Don't they? The ultimate snobbism, no?
But can we say that in general french and intalians are stylish and that the most fashionable/stylish in france and italy are inhabitants of paris and milan?Or people are equally elegant in every city of italy/france?
There isn't much difference, the well off neighbbourhoods (Chiaia, Vomero and Mergellina) of Naples is where i have seen the most elegant dressing styles. There are several independant boutiques there and while they may not be large brands their works are fantastic
I am from NYC and worked briefly in Paris. The work dress in Paris was much more casual and I sometimes felt overdressed. I have never been to Italy but I get the impression that fashion is pretty serious there. This is from Italians that I have met in Manhattan.

Italians? Or just Americans calling themselves 'Italian'?
