It doesn't make sense
I was over in Italy the other day and I saw this guy wandering around the streets in bright orange pants and a bright orange shirt. I gave him a quick glance, thinking that he looked quite stylish and continued on my way...... a little while later I was thinking about this sighting and it occurred to me that if I had seen that exact same guy wandering around the streets of London, or particularly wandering around the streets anywhere in Australia, instead of thinking that he looked quite stylish I probably would have thought that he was some sort of nutter!
Why is that so? Why is it that you can get away with wearing particular clothing in some countries that you would never even contemplate somewhere else? I mean, it's not as if Australia and Italy are totally different cultures. In fact they're very similar.
I guess that it has something to do with the surroundings. When everyone else around you is dressed in similarly bright colours, when the sun is constantly shining and the countryside is scattered with a rainbow of different hues, you feel quite at home dressed head to toe in bright orange.
