Juicy Couture may be the style in SoCal, but you won't be seeing it on the streets of France or Italy. (You don't even see it much in San Francisco!) And that's still dressier than a Nike warm-up.

It's obviously your call to make.

I agree with taylor_made - has to be Adidas. We saw nothing but Adidas last summer so Nike would not be acceptable. Wasn't Edina wearing Adidas in this seasons AbFab shows???

When I was last in Italy, I loved wearing my black knight jogging suit. It came with a lance which was great for making other tourists get out of the way in a hurry.

My dear, I see people dressed like tramps everywhere in Europe, even some designers show collections inspired by tramps on the runways of Milan.

Europe is as casual or as dressy as the person travelling. If you choose to indulge in Michelin starred dining, the clubs with a guest list for the guest list, and the finest hotels, then of course you will need to dress up. However, if you are simply a tourist who walks around seeing the sights, and eating in "local" restaurants that are all patronised by forgeign travellers, you can wear what you want.

I still think you should be wearing a set of Adiddasses, instead of the Nyike.

This is a troll----No?

As an avid runner, I am use to wearing what is most comfortable for the weather conditions. However, when I travel to Europe, I would never wear athletic clothing of any kind. Instead, when I go for a run, I wear a smart navy blue blazer, a gray pair of slacks, and a black pair of Hugo Boss shoes.

SeaUrchin Mar 12th, 2004 02:28 PM

I'm not a troll, they don't wear Nikes.

Once again, I wouldn't wear them into nice restaurants and wouldn't go into a club with a guest list anyway.

How about if I wear my Calvin Klein jogging suit, is that better? It cost alot, does that help?

I would be wearing them at resort areas and hill towns where I would stand out as a tourist anyway, obviously they would know I am not a local and I am not trying to pass for one.

Black shoes with a navy blazer? How you must stand out as an American. Navy blazers should only be worn during the day, and always with a tan, brown, cherry, or some other non black colour pair of shoes.

As for Hugo Boss, this label has no consistent style or look, and is really just overpriced high street style.

m_kingdom Mar 12th, 2004 02:31 PM

SeaUrchin, how ignorant you are my dear. Smart and money are not proportional. One can purchase a pair of jeans for over 1000GBP, ripped, painted, stained, frayed, these will never look smart, so what something's expensive? Style is more important than price.

I suggest you try taking a "nike jogging suit" in a size smaller than normal, zipping it up so tightly you are unable to unzip yourself.

SeaUrchin Mar 12th, 2004 02:35 PM

You are funny MK, thanks for the laugh.

m_kingdom Mar 12th, 2004 02:39 PM

My dear, with such bland dress sense, and ignorance, the laugh's on you.

Marilyn Mar 12th, 2004 02:44 PM

Sheesh, M_Kingdom, give it a rest already. I'm becoming more and more convinced of the truth of that remark on another thread about your breeding. It is actually possible, you know, to be sharp and witty and amusing without being rude and offensive. You might work on that.

BrimhamRocks Mar 12th, 2004 02:48 PM

M_kingdom, better be careful. You're getting 'naff' again, as you referred to yourself in another thread. Worse yet, you're sounding suspiciously similar to Mrs. Bucket. Trying to keep up appearances, 'dear'?

Margie Mar 12th, 2004 02:51 PM

People who start almost every sentence with "My dear" are bland themselves.

SeaUrchin Mar 12th, 2004 03:01 PM

Oh, I didn't realize she was serious, who is she anyway? How strange. Oh well.

Margie Mar 12th, 2004 03:10 PM

I believe she is a deranged old lady.

kybourbon Mar 12th, 2004 03:10 PM

Brimham Rocks - Only Sheridan would be allowed to wear Nike to a candlelight supper.

Iregeo Mar 12th, 2004 03:11 PM

m.k., panties in a twist, dear?
