just wear a quality dark blue suit and a white dress shirt every day and you will be known as the most stylish man in town.
change to an old pair of jeans on the weekend and that’s all you need.
In Europe, substitute the blue pants for red and you’re done.
I’m not talking about Eurotrash. I’m talking about everyday people and once again, I have to say that they tend to dress better than Americans, but have a more limited wardrobe.

Benson, I have a friend who is now almost 70 years old, an Italian lady economist, brilliant, born here but spoke only Italian till she went to school and I couldn’t believe her — she never had a credit card, she bought extremely expensive clothes but had relative few clothes, she made serious money her whole life, but saved 10 cents here and there looking for mini-bargains. She was living in another time and place. She did blow major money on vacations though.
“I’m talking about everyday people and once again, I have to say that they tend to dress better than Americans, but have a more limited wardrobe.”
benson, you think maybe that’s cuz they don’t have cheap Chinese imports and the malls that sell them, like WalMart, Target, and so on, or that they have an inherent sense of stylishness?
“These are actual factual data points, BHO. Sorry if that escapes you.”
The bottom escapes us all, DIBS. 20-City Case-Shiller YOY still in red. Still down -30% from peak. How exactly will the bear market sucka’s rally survive without an extension of FHA and MBS programs? What else drives the economy right now besides capital market speculation? All you can celebrate, for now, is slower declines. f” will soon be down again when the truth about the fugazy reGOVery comes to light.

Answer: Deficit spending. Negligible amount of production/exportation. Can’t last.

yes yes, europeans do EVERYTHING better than americans. they are the standard to which the entire world should be viewed against.
*barf!* hahahah
europe is the most racist and classist continent ever! for some reason they seem to get away with it because they have old school cuture.
please take my comment on europe with a grain of salt. i think every continent sucks. (maybe not antarctica.)
*rob*

Your street pet peeves are more informative.

“that’s not true. there’s only a very small percentage of europeans who dress stylishly. ”
rob of course has taken several extensive tours of the continent…

I think their socialist governments give them a overgenerous budget for clothes but limit the number of articles of clothing they can buy.
