So relatable - easy to imagine myself and some girlfriends dressed like that and enjoying those cafes.

So I tend to agree that there seems to exist a kind of generalized casual urban chic (with room for individuality) which you can find in many places in Europe. (Whether that is also true for Canada and the US, I cannot say.) What did strike me on my last trip to Munich, however, was the number of people dressed and groomed in an obviously (even conspicuously) expensive way. (Which does not necessarily make them more stylish.) So it seems that style tells more about social than about national or regional background. And there seem to be certain places in certain cities where “conspicuous styling” accumulates. Zagreb does not appear to be one of them, which makes the city all the more likeable.<br />Eleonorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-71457927768369634262018-06-22T06:21:28.638-07:002018-06-22T06:21:28.638-07:00Linen is so cool!

All of your Zagreb photos show a sense of "smart casual" style.

In a city where one spends time on escalators coming and going from the subway, and thus with one's head at the butt level of the people a step or two up, it seems so much more sharing than appropriate. I like the longer dresses better!<br /><br />ceciAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-63920482616264491632018-06-22T05:39:05.688-07:002018-06-22T05:39:05.688-07:00How lovely.

All gone now & it is impossible to know where people are from by the way they dress . Having said that , I love some of these outfits . Nothing too precious , just perfect dressing for hot weather . Here in the UK our summers are so fleeting ( though this year is pretty good so far ) that we don’t need much of a hot weather wardrobe & don’t really do it very well . My favourite is the stripey white linen frock but I fear it would spend its life on a hanger . <br />Wendy in York Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
