What we wear. (Vad vi slitage.)

I’ve always been very aware of fashion but lately, just back from Stockholm and Hamburg, Germany, maybe more so than usual.

Most of us know that fashion comes from Europe first before coming to the USA but I read recently that Swedes don’t necessarily want to look, well, Swedish as far as fashion is concerned. Especially when they come to the USA...hmmm...why is that? With me it’s the exact opposite. I want to look chic Northern European, Swedish.

So when I was in Stockholm I looked at the women to see the latest in the Swedish fashion scene. The women, with their bulky, woolen sweaters, their understated pants, some variation of boots that were “weather sensible” and oh-so-very chic along with their artsy scarves, jaunty caps (or flap hats) and messenger bags casually thrown across their bodies, made me see that being warm and fashionable does actually make sense. Finally…being warm is cool and that means…so am I!
