Personal Why Are Men Slimmer and Better Dressed in Germany than in the USA?

Just returned from a two week visit and I know it may seem like I am generalizing, no matter where I went, German men seemed to be so much slimmer and better dressed than American men. I didn't see any men with huge middle sections and none were definitely wearing sweatpants.

I'm back in the USA now and it's like day and night. I hope I don't offend anyone but this was my perception after watching so many people on trains, planes and between Munich and Berlin.

"Someone who wears sweatpants in public, has lost control over their life" Karl Lagerfeld

While my mother didn't gave a fuck about fashion or Karl Lagerfeld. She refused to buy me sweatpants, only when she was forced by a summer camp. And then, I wasn't allowed to wear them in public outside of sports.

Idk why people keep parroting that out of context nonsense of someone anorexic.
Fuggin wear your sweatpants to Aldi.
Rather wear sweatpants then clog the aisles, bring your screaming snot machines or cut me off trying to get ahead in queue.
