Nordic fashion.

In Sweden, it seemed that you were either a goth/metalhead or a hipster. It was mostly hipsters. Don't get me wrong, I love hipsters - well, ironically, because ironic love is the only kind that hipsters understand - but it was a bit of an overload.

Passing through Denmark, I saw not one but two girls with their pants tucked into their socks. They were nowhere near bikes, so they didn't have that excuse. They...just...thought it looked good, I guess?

This explains why the world looks to Paris and Rome for its fashion and not to Stockholm or Copenhagen.
