However, I can back up my personal experience with stories from relatives who have long lived in Germany. Oddly enough, all my observation They were pretty accurate, according to them.

What do German citizens prefer to wear?

One of the main rules in the clothes of the Germans is practicality. And then there is beauty, fashion and so on. By the way, for the most part, german. It is possible to consider some trends among young people. And they choose only the most convenient ones and look a little careless. In honor free jeans, jackets, shirts, shoes with laces.

Skirts or pants? Here the answer is unequivocal: pants and trousers again. As I said, German women always put practicality and convenience above beauty and femininity. But skirts and dresses are used only in extreme heat or at celebrations.



Of course, the Germans are aware of the latest trends - they see them in every clothing store. But are they in a hurry to blindly follow fashion? Not at all. If the people of Germany choose fashion trends, only as comfortable as possible. For example, the fashion to wear sneakers under everything, even under evening dresses and strict coats, is very stuck here. Even among retirees.



As for gold and precious stones, the Germans are almost indifferent to all this. Except that especially well-groomed grandmothers with money buy expensive jewelry. And then without fanaticism. But young women prefer jewelry or at all. lack of decoration.
