Bobby, it seems to me it's a city thing.  And it depends greatly on the city.  I've continent hopped stopping at several places in Europe and the US on route to my destination. Along the way I noticed just how differently people dress in each place.  What seemed perfectly comfortable and normal as I set out, seemed totally out of place at other places. The extreme dressers where one lives become familiar and are sort of normal after a while. Maybe you don't live in Sofie?
