European vs. American: Which one is who?

Today I'm going to talk about how different the guys from Europe and United States dressed. After being here for about two months and living with a bunch of Americans and Europeans, I now could somehow tell the differences between both of them in terms of dressing. Well, maybe some of the things that I'm going to tell is somewhat over-generalizing and stereotyping, because both regions are so big. Well for the Europeans, most of them were actually from the Netherlands and French (Germans and British dressed in a different way); so yeah, I'm pretty much generalizing. But still! You could really tell the differences! So you could or could not believe it, but here you goooo!

Europeans:
Europeans loooove to use patterned t-shirts like this:

I don't know why and I actually always tease them for using this kind of t-shirts. There is one funny story about it actually. So one day, I went to Siam Center with Joris (a Dutch) and Stephanie because Joris wants to search for a new pants. When he went to the fitting room, me and Stephanie just wandering around on the man's section and we saw some patterned shirt like this. Stephanie was laughing and said "The European boys must really love those shirts!" and I completely agree with her. After that, we just go outside the store and wait for Joris to pay for his pants. And when he came, he said "Look! I also got a shirt and a belt!". And I bet you could guess: yes, he got one of those patterned shirt. So it somehow justify my -- our -- judgement!

The next thing that they love to wear is... shorts. Okay, you must be wondering what is so special about shorts? So I know that it's completely normal for guys to wear shorts everywhere, especially in the middle of the warmth of Bangkok, but these European guys didn't wear the 'normal' shorts. They tend to wear a shorter shorts! Sometimes, the shorts could be so short that it only cover half of their thigh.... There you go. The shorts more or less looks like something like this:

Americans:
One thing that you should know: Americans love baggy pants. Like so much. They will wear it so low that you might think that it doesn't cover their bottom... Well to be honest, not all Americans do this. Because America is a very big country, and every states actually have their own personality. People from California and southern America tends to love this style. BUT STILL, they are everywhere.. But if it is not baggy pants, they usually wear the 'normal' shorts which by normal I mean it covers everything to the knee. And it does feel relieving, that you don't have to worry that something would peeked out.... No.

The other way of how American guys dressed is closely related to simplicity. They usually wear t-shirts and jeans and just it. But for the kind of t-shirts that they use, I will sum it up into two different category. The first one is: pure plain. So I bet they got a lot of plain t-shirts in their drawer in every color. Because they do wear a lot of plain t-shirts with every color. And the next one is: distro t-shirts. I don't know the English name for this kind of t-shirt, but this is the kind of t-shirt that has a big picture in the middle. It is different from the patterned t-shirt, this one is actually looks like a plain t-shirt that you print something on it (just like the bottom right picture). I know you could imagine it! And Americans love it so much. You could see a bunch of Americans buying these lousy t-shirts in Bangkok that says: Chang Beer, Heineken, etc. 

So I think that's pretty much it! If I somehow comes up with another idea, I will surely make a new post (or just edit this one). Adiós!
