<i><font color=#555555>"Here is how men dress in Milan"</font></i>
You ARE kidding us with that ridiculous photo of men crammed on an escalator going nowhere, aren't you?
<i><font color=#555555>"They are rarely just "persons on the street"."</font></i>
If you want to be linked to a man who just looks like a "person on the street," then by all means set your bar really low. Perhaps there's a reason you don't dream bigger. (The pronoun here refers to all readers.)
I prefer a stylish man, a man who appreciates the art of dressing well and a man who knows how to make a woman smile with his confident sense of style.
You can find a million khaki/jean wearing slobs all over every airport around the world. There's absolutely nothing special about looking ordinary.

I very, very much appreciate the input from everyone. I wish all of these comments could somehow be posted on other sites regarding the question of dress on a European vacation. Again, my many thanks

FoodSnob: are you STILL insisting that white tennis shoes/sneakers are "the rage" in Europe? If you are then I see no reason whatsoever to consider any of your so-called "fashion advice" as worth reading.

Daffy Dukey, you have a reading problem, because I never "insisted" any such thing. As far your considering anything I say on this board as "worth reading," I really don't care. I don't know you, and you don't mean anything to me. I ignore most of your gibberish, and I expect that to continue. But when you say something really stupid, someone should speak up.

I avoid restaurants that "require" jackets. They're usually trying to make up for their other shortcomings by pretending to be high class.
My husband and I were once walking along the beach (in Senigallia) on our anniversary. We happened to pass Uliassi, a two-star Michelin restaurant. We didn't have a reservation, and hadn't even thought of going out to dinner, but it was the off season, so we said, "Why not?" and went in. We were dressed for a walk on the beach, not for dinner at Uliassi, but we were welcomed and treated like valued customers. Uliassi himself came out of the kitchen to see whether we had enjoyed the meal. That's class!

We visited a starred restaurant with our 4 year old and were nervous, he was treated like a prince.
The owner commented that my son was his customer in 20 years time.
