Germany, what are you wearing?

The designer Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019, was known not only for his creative fashion, but also for his sometimes very direct statements. "he who wears jogging pants has lost control of his life!" is one of the most famous bonmots of the great master. But what does not yet answer the question: what clothes do you wear in Germany-and how is it interpreted?

You & APOs; re what you & APOs; re wearing

This is not a Lagerfeld statement, but a pure truth. Germany is a free, multicultural country in which almost any kind of styling is possible. Some outfit requires courage in the wearer or the wearer and a certain form of tolerance in relation to others.

Loafer ladies, for example, can represent the footwear to a as good as traditional look. But they can also be combined super sexy. The overall impression is often caused by the combination of the different garments. Just like the shoes mentioned, a summer jacket for women as basic belongs to every woman & APOs; s wardrobe.

The everyday look for women

Many women born in Germany are always perplexed in front of the wardrobe. Because unlike in many other countries, there is no official or de facto dress code here. How good are the Scandinavian women who combine a sporty chic with flat business shoes or sneakers and are thus just as perfectly styled for the office as for the evening visit to the pub. The ladies in the east or in the south of Europe, on the other hand, turn the walk with the dog into a perfect staging.

Germany is not only geographically in between. Both examples are common in Germany, but also all nuances in between. Style Adviser: inside therefore recommend to trust in the inner voice after as objective a look in the mirror as possible. Confident ladies can also opt for a daring styling in everyday life. But if the outfit looks exaggerated and turns out to be disturbing in everyday activities, the shot goes backwards. In doubt, therefore, a casual chic is the better decision.

The styling for party, wedding and other social occasion

Almost everything is allowed at the party look. Whether in the pub, the cocktail bar or in the club: jeans with sneakers and t-shirts are just as good as high heels, leather leggings and blazer or pumps and cocktail dress. Here, too, the own type is central.

The extroverted party queen would make a great figure even in a jute bag, but may lean a little further out of the window when choosing the outfit. The rather shy wallflower, however, may prove a little more courage in the choice of clothes. But you can look at the lady if she doesn & APOs; t feel really comfortable in her clothes. Here, by the way, it depends only subliminally on the figure: a lady with model dimensions can look pale and inconspicuous in poorly chosen clothes, while her "chubby" girlfriend becomes queen of the night by her styling.

The more festive the occasion, the more festive the outfit should be chosen. A wedding is a typical example of this. If you look at certain theme weddings, you can see a clear picture here. The men wear suit (depending on the occasion with or without tie), while the ladies can choose between the elegant costume, the cocktail dress or the long evening dress. It becomes perfect when couples match their outfit in color.

When it comes to shoes, men can choose between various leather half-shoes, depending on the model, even sneakers are allowed. The ladies Don & APOs; t go wrong with high heels matching the outfit as well as with ballerinas. Very important, especially for the ladies: your own styling must not overshadow the bride & APOs; s look. Here, too, it can be useful to inform yourself in advance, either in the surroundings of the bridal couple or in the beauty Farm or shopping in the specialist shop.

Who is new in the country and brings his look from home to a private party, can look forward to special attention depending on the society. For a business dinner, you should be guided by the dress of your colleagues. There is no formula of thumb, too much depends on the occasion, the environment and the people you meet-and of course on taste; but we Don & APOs; t want to discuss that now. (DD)
