What to Wear in Greece (Winter Edition)

OK, Rick Steves says that Europeans dress 'stylish,' more so than Americans. I would agree with that, most definitely. Today on our Sunday walk-about I wanted to document what to wear in Greece. It was pretty cold today, so a lot of folks were wearing their stylish coats. 

We started in the Koloniki neighborhood -
definitely more upscale. Loved this example of black tights
and short skirts that are very popular here...with heels, certainly.
These tights feature very cool polka-dots, which I love!

Lots of women opt for the black tights or leggings with
short skirs like the bright blue one on the woman on the
left. The one on the right has a skirt on, as well.

Greek men are very stylish, maybe even more than the women! Nicely groomed, always with fresh haircuts
and up-to-date styles. Even their jeans are not old and tired, but trendy.

Lots of drape for women's styles - love the shawl and this dress with lots of soft fabric.

Buying shoes must be the national pastime here in Greece,
because there are many, many shoe stores!
I loved these shoes, again with polka-dots, but most
stores carry a wide array of black or dark shoes and boots.

this is a common sight: beautiful Greek woman with
envy-inducing hair, black leggings, knee-high black boots,
and a long, quilted outer coat.

Here is another variation: black tights, short skirt,
longer coat with fur-edged hood, and shorty heel boots.

Stylish men with great haircuts and trendy shoes.

This couple may be European tourists (see the camera?),
but are still very trendy in their clothing choices. 

A rather rare blonde woman, and very stylish;
not leggings, but straight leg slacks and dressy flats.
She is missing a scarf, though..she may not be a local..

if not leggings and boots, then tight jeans (or jeggings)

There seems to be one hairstyle for women here, and that is long hair with no bangs. There are very few
women with short hair - I'd say maybe 1 or 2 out of 20 women with short haircuts. I did see a cute gal at our restaurant
last night with a really cute haircut (very short), and customers were talking with her about it. It is rare.

interesting shoe shot - boots for women and fancy sport-type shoes for men

the other coat choice seems to be the puffy coat,
especially for younger people

no, these jeans aren't worn out - they are supposed to
look that way! Nice jackets, too.

Greek women have awesome hair!

even middle-aged people are stylish and put together

you won't see anyone wearing pajama pants in public,
but I liked these in a store window

This is not odd to see women holding hands or linking arms while strolling along - it only means they are good friends,
or perhaps family (we Americans are so uptight about such things!)

here is a couple of white coats, but most wear dark colors 

Now, doesn't that make you want to run out and buy some black leggings and tall boots? It does me!
