Dressing like Eurotrash

Dance Commander

Hi Folks. I'm heading to a Eurotrash party tonight, and I'm planning on dressing up for it. The standard thing that pops into my mind is loafers, tight jeans, a too-tight t-shirt or button down with the sleeves rolled up, gelled up hair, and huge designer sunglasses. I tend to associate this look mostly with Italy or maybe France.
However, I'm really, really Scandanavian looking, blonde hair, blue eyes, kind of sharp features, and my glasses have this cool post-modern patterning on them, so I was also considering something more like... well, I have this image of a really pretentious german or swedish guy hanging out in a cafe talking about Kant. I'm having a hard time figuring out what that would look like, though, and it needs to be distinct and identifiable.

So if anyone has any tips on either route, I'd love to hear them. I'm going to try to make a trip to the salvation army later today, so I might be able to acquire some specialty items.

One of my teachers fits the bill of pretentious Scandinavian guy with slick looks. He wears a suit without a tie and sometimes jeans, has a trimmed beard and has some gel in his hair. I'd post a picture but I suspect him of googling himself daily. :P

Other than that I don't think there is a specific stereotype of Northern Europeans dressing up as pretentious twats, the stereotypical image is that of a bulky guy with a big beard and a big wool sweater.

This quote: Eurotrash are like rare birds -- difficult to photograph in their native habitat. They prefer dimly lit lounges and nightclubs, and are constantly in movement: brushing a hand through their hair, scanning the room for new arrivals, waving at a friend across the room. So I will describe the man I saw there: in his fifties, with neck-length dyed brown hair, wearing a black- and gold-silk shirt, black pants, and black suede shoes. The shirt was unbuttoned to the top of his stomach, and pulled wide to display a hairy and deep-tanned chest. On his face, he wore a louche and knowing smile.

touches on the more "Mediterranean" look you mention. For something more... nordic... try more of a tight pants, patent leather books, tight white/black/grey/lime t-shirt. probably ribbed. buzz your hair or spike it up. Big white sunglasses. or small mirrored ones. Think Dieter on the juice at a discotech. say things like 'iz awesome, yah?' watch some swedish chef for inspiration.
