Why are European ladies so much more stylish?

badabing106

I have had the opportunity to travel around europe in the last few weeks and I noticed something very striking based upon my daily observations

If you walk down any popular street , in any major continental european city , you will lay eyes upon masses of stunning looking women , often dressed in very simple but very well thought out and fashionable clothing, its like an outdoor fashion shoot runway. Gorgeous women in optimum physical shape ,wearing stlyish fashionable clobber and carrying themselves very elegantly

I sat at an outdoor cafe for maybe 10 minutes in munich , and I counted maybe 60 - 70 stunning , pretty women wearing elegant and chic dress wear .Even girls pedalling by on bicycles looked chic , wearing old fashioned dresses and haute couture tops .Even their bicycles were stylish, often cycling old school bicycles with a basket .

Then you come back to ireland and walk down o connell street and the difference is startling to say the least. Alot of ill fitting garments showing rolls of skin , caked on make up , and alot of sportswear and "comfortable looking" attire


Has anybody else picked up on this on their travels ?

Yup, you keep hanging out on O'Connell Street.

I just don't think it will ever catch on in Ireland.

Don't base your opinion on what walks down O'Connell Street.

I'd say you are right in that regard , but my attention was drawn to the gals:)

Could say the same thing about the men to be fair. Sick of seeing un tanned, un stylish men in Ireland... on the continent, they're so much better etc etc etc.

**** you, that's why.

As much as we both know it'll unfortunately evolve into that, he has a point.

A lot of cycling, a lot of good taste.

Not one jumpsuit, not even one, have I ever seen worn in mainland Europe.

'twas a non-sight to behold.

Surely it would have been easier to report the post instead of making snide comments.
