If you walk around any city in Europe you would never see an adult in flip flops and cargo shorts today. In Europe, people still like to dress well in public just for their own pride, it's not 3 piece suits today, but usually people dress well. When you see people on a weekend evening going out they will dress to the nines, and I felt like a hill-billy American visiting cities in Europe haha.

I spend a considerable amount of time in Italy because my sister and her family live there and I can fly there cheaply (flight benefits!)
Even what would be considered "low" class there dress nicely. May not be suits, but well fitting jeans and a clean shoes are the pretty base standard. They are also a much slower paced, less stressed out society, which is ironic since we Americans are the ones who dress in sweatpants and hoodies everywhere. The only time I've seen people wearing American-style gym clothes in public there is on teenagers and even then it all LOOKS expensive...

Yea, dressing all day in gym clothes annoys me. First of all unless you are a professional athlete or professional trainer, you don't need special gym clothes, I can work out just fine in any old t-shirt.

Sure you can, but it's much more comfortable to workout in good quality, well fitting gym clothes. I don't have all the latest under armor stuff and wear my fair share of old tees to the gym, but it does make a difference.
