true. I guess that it is a generation gap thing to me...I hate those Korean styles. they are for teenager girls, rather than women. I actually like French styles very much. America style is always considered too casual.

To me, French style is rather low key. Better made clothes look simple in styles, but the details are amazing. Italian clothes are more sexy/loud/colorful/(or tacky to some people). American style is more sporty/casual/practical. Asian style in general is fancier. There is not right or wrong.

If you want to blend in the environment, wear things in local style; if you want to stand out, wearing something distinctive will help...as long as you are happy with it, why not?

I am actually curious to hear more from lz's husband....he needs to elaborate more for us to understand what he means. For instance, Emilio Pucci is colorful, too. But it is classic.
