    From what I’ve heard from Americans, the standard of dress for basic tasks like going to the shop is apparently high compared to the same in America

      Yep, I’m an American who moved to Germany and I wish it was accepted to wear sweatpants and my husband’s t shirt to the grocery store. I still do sometimes, but I don’t enjoy being stared at angrily by old ladies in public, so most of the time I’ll at least pull jeans on. I’m never getting rid of my Asidutt though.

      Luckily, linen shorts are as comfortable as sweatpants in warm weather and don’t look as schlubby.

        I’m jealous that you can put your hair up like that. Mine would tie itself in about 20 interesting knots and stay that way :D
