In my hometown, Novi Sad, women especially are almost always dressed up, make up, and (at least in my oppinion) the most beautiful of all the women I've seen. In the north of Italy people also dress (both women and men) very elegantly. While in Germany they are a lot more relaxed, casual.
Suits make men appear more serious, and more handsome. At least in the eyes of a vast majority of population. I don't wear suits, but if my income depended on working with people, I probably would.
