Wow..what a slap down to all those elegant, properly sized, slim Polish girls..................!!

No 1 Polish girls do go to hair dressers....

No 2 They dont need a tan applied aka...spray on agent orange look-alike...majority have a natural sallow complexion, tan very easily and naturally.

No 3 They seem far less artificial than most UK girls...................at least in the nails department...:)

There most likely is some difference in style, as styles can vary from one end of a country to the other, let alone in totally differing cultures etc. My Polish friends have just noticed that where we live if you see a girl in white wash jeans, you know, blue denim thats almost white, then 99% of the time its a Polish girl. Not a generalisation.. just an observation that they have made. I personally do not own a pair of jeans like that!

What are you suggesting lol Oh and i also hate fake nails :P

Well, I'm sorry that I'm so ignorant! It's not like Poland is a constantly talked about country in my small town. I don't believe I've ever heard anything about Poland on the news unless people are talking about WWII. Excuse me if I don't want to make an incredible fool of myself when I'm going to a completely new country.

ExchangeMe You asked a legitimate question about styles and some people couldn't handle it and replied with smart comments. The truth is Polish women always dress well (or try to). Don't try and copy them though just to make an impression, your own style is your own style.

Well, I was one of the sarcastic ones. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings - it just didn't seem like that serious a subject. I guess I never thought anyone would really worry about their clothes that much. For what it's worth, you should be fine wearing what you normally wear.

Styles in Poland. What do people wear? Ok which age group, firstly? Secondly which economic class. The lables that are popular in Poland. Tommy Hilfinger. Hugo Boss. Replay. Benetton FCUK. Morgan. These are the lables the people with cash tend to wear. Unfortunately there is loads of fake clothing and accessories in Poland, these goods always make people look cheap. Amongst the youth the hip hop crowd like Sean Jean, nike etc. Then the metal goth crowd just love their black. People wear in general the same style of clothes as in the US and Europe period. No pointy hats etc.

Polish women spend a lot of time and money on buying expensive cloths. They love to dress up and look nice. There is nothing really wrong with this. It is typical of working class people to spend so much time trying to impress. To me, it is always a sign of their inferiority complex.

The math just doesn't add up sometimes. They must eat bread rolls and eggs the whole time in order to free up the cash for those clothes. There are many nice things to be found in Lumpeks btw

Thats one thing ive noticed with some people, how annoying and self-centred they can be! PinkJewel wrote: Don't try and copy them though just to make an impression, your own style is your own style. I personally wouldn't try to anyway but the person that started off the thread seemed to want to know the fashion so i tried to help her out :) PinkJewel wrote: your own style is your own style. such a true statement :)

There were just some people who didn't need to start off their replies with sarcasm. I was being completely serious when I asked about style. I'm already scared enough to be going over seas away from my family and friends for a whole year, and I'm trying to find out as much as I possibly can before I leave. But once again, thank you Summer, you've been helpful...and so have some others...so thank you everyone.

They love to dress up and look nice. yeah and then arrange dates and stand up pr*cks like you, such fun! its not a sign of our inferiority complex, its just being a woman and having the right canvas to look good in whatever you put on. Polish women are very independent and they know what they are doing. they know what theyve got and are not afraid to use it, after all men all over the world want one (or a few if they are muslim ha ha).

Well, I've bought some super designer label shirts, jackets and backpack from there. 14zł per shirt, no holes, beautiful blue. 2 stylish coats for 30zl combined. A top rucksack for 10zł. U can easily get lucky there. I'm quite well off here in Poland btw and feel no shame about going there

Totally agree! yup - I was taking the pi.ss too - but only in a light hearted way. Sorry for any offence caused, however I've travelled extensively over the years, yet never felt out of place in terms odf style / clothes.

Plenty of faded jeans and camouflage jackets. Oh, and the women wear thongs which is kinda nice

If I say something about green being a good, neutral colour for those of the equine family, will you tell me that they only see in black and white? Cause this particular donkey can see in infra-red, ultra-violet, and even occasionally FM radio. krysia wrote: Maybe they think you're a carrot? This can put your very life in danger. Only the threat of a stick can ward off this kind of harm. JustysiaS wrote: some charity shops in UK They seem to go through phases - sometimes they can be good. At other times, there is absolutely nothing you'd want to be seen in. Especially the china tea sets and fair-trade teabags and other stuff they sell. Put the kettle on! Nah - doesn't suit me.
