As a German my impression is (and it matches with your observations and other expats, also from the America): In Germany you are "underdressed" when you go grocery shopping in jogging pants but "overdressed" when you waer high heels and superfancy unpractical clothes in the evening. So when I leave the house I wear Jeans, T-Shirt, Sneakers. No matter if it is for grocery shopping or going out in the evening 🙂

As a german, please wear whatever you want. I cannot see the neutrals and basic fashion anymore. It lacks so much personality when everyone has the same style. I think many people are scared to wear whatever they want, because you will definitely get the looks and people will judge you, that is for sure. You just need to learn not to care anymore. 
Also the most people are buying their clothes at Shein, Zara, h&m, primark. As long as you know how to combine everything well, anything can look pricey. I think germans just don't like anything tacky.
There was a time when everyone wore leggings everywhere. I think it was from 2012 - 2014/2015. :D

We learn about wearing layers instead of one thick sweater since being kids. It's called Zwiebelschichten. :D It's so much easier to control how you feel, when you have the options to take clothes off or on.

German here
I lived in the North and the South and I totally agree. We like pastel Colors and down to earth things. Nothing loud. At least not the Adults 😉

Your thermal underwear and big sweaters may come in useful this winter, when energy costs are high and people may try to cut down on their heating bill. I think it's crazy to have super warm rooms in the winter anyway, I would never survive in a cotton top or blouse in my house.

German here and I'm a huge fan of colors, my favorite brand ist Desigual. But unfortunately, the overall "fashion landscape" in Germany is very basic, pale and monotonous; I really hope, that will change in the future.

I'm a German living in Dortmund in Northrhine-Westfalia and I see people wear these things here every day. So I think it's really a local thing about what you wear or not.

[folkehoffmann]

I live in Berlin and I feel like here you see just about anything when it comes to looks. Thinking of it I am actually surprised I have never seen anyone walking around naked in the streets or something like that.

I'm a goth so I always wear black, I get the occasional dirty look here in Spain, but I didn't in Germany, and let me tell you, I can confirm the toasty warm inside, because I was getting cooked while I was in a concert in Braunschweig last year, ! loved the video :)

[s.h.]

It depends very much whether you live in a big city where people wear whatever they want, and smaller places where people know each other and the social control for "acceptable" dress is stronger. I have lived in both kinds of places, and in big cities there are really no rules at all.

[berlinorama]

I agree with you for many parts of Germany, but here in Berlin people wear a lot of sweat pants, clothes with holes, logos and neon colours. And of course LOTS of black!

I hate toned down colors and love to wear bright colors - and I really stand out because of this 😂 no matter where, I'm always "the one with the colorful clothes"

[IndianGirlGermany]

I completely agree. I am wondering I had observed this so often but never consciously. The toned-down bright colors are also one common thing Germans wear.

Hi Antoinette, fellow kiwi living in Germany.
I definitely agree with the points you brought up, especially the jacket rather than sweaters. One needs to be able to get layers on and off easily.
Quality shoes definitely!
Huge brand label I find quite tacky myself...
As for not wanting to stand out..
I am a self proclaimed Goth in my mid 30s, I currently have purple hair and wear a lot of unique clothing with a splash of bright colour here and there topped with a full face of vintage inspired make-up (full lipstick under my mask even!)...
It definitely stands out even here in Hamburg, I get a lot of looks.
But normally (generally older) people will stop and compliment me, say Hallo or Moin with a smile or ask if I am off to a performance, curious as to why I am 'dressed up'...
I am one of those that says if you dont want to stand out or draw attention then tone down but if you aren't bothered or want to wear something but aren't quite sure go for it....
In my experience Germans are appreciative of the daring to wear something that they may not and are quick to compliment and unlikely to say anything if they don't!
LG and Aroha nui!

Just got back from my weekly shop in Edeka and this time I took extra notice of the clothes people were wearing. I have to say every colour imaginable was on show and lots of people in what is classed as sports wear. Lot's of cheap sandals and shoes also, let's face it if Germans only wore quality shoes then there wouldn't be a Deichmann's in every town.I think the earthy colours you mention are popular in every European country, especially Scandinavia, in Autumn and winter but in summer anything goes.

[martinavanb]

I agree with not wearing neon colours but I do like some pretty floral dresses and I wear some of them even in winter.
I do wear some plain clothes such as leggings, T-shirts but like some colours, patterns on my blouses and dresses. I struggle to buy clothes in Germany and don’t do mustardy colours, browns and certain greens... I’m not a big fan of shoes here... I also love practical and good quality shoes but can’t find them!
I’ve noticed recently that many summer dresses, blouses and tunics have long sleeves!

My go-to outfit is jeans, a t-shirt, a cardigan, and sneakers. I wore the same thing in the US. On a rare occasion I will wear a sweatshirt with a logo, usually a uni sweatshirt since I teach for a uni. I have worn jeans with holes, but now that I am older, I prefer dark jeans with no distress. I avoid cheap shoes since I walk so much. These are great tips. My tip is wear what you like and what is comfortable for you.

[akailah]

Darn it! I just ordered my thermals😭😭😭 thank you for this video!

[StarkeeperLen]

as someone who's German and does wear leggings it's actually quite okay as long as it doesn't stand out too much

[jensschroder]

In winter it can get as low as -20 ° C / -4 ° F, but usually only for a week. A set of thermal underwear can be kept in the closet, just in case. But the last winters have been mild. Often it is enough to put several layers on top of each other.

[caciliawhy]

I love my chunky sweaters. I layer something light under them and just pull them off when I get too warm. Easy.

Europeans complain about the heavy air-conditioning in the US and Canada but they do the same with the heating. It's usually, as you say, much too warm, especially in stores.
