Motto

Linz is a nice town. And I take your point - Europeans by and large dress better, even when they are being casual than people in the English speaking world. (I can't speak for Americans, but England and Australia I know well) 

That said, it is not purely a matter of economics. I have travelled quite a bit in Africa and I can tell you that if you see some slob dressed in shorts, sweats, flip-flops etc at the airport or in a hotel lobby, sure as x it'll be some Western tourist or contractor. It sure as hell won't be an African. 

Labour

Can't we all just dress nicely, and leave the sweats to the gym and the flip-flops to the beach?

D-Day

Like they say in that charmingly artless song in Chicago, what ever happened to class?

I see guys, and gals, looking like they are just back from the beach or the gym - board shorts, grubby T-shirt, flip flops, cheap polyester sweats. It is just so crass.
