Suppose you used to think Europe was a continent without diversity before. In that case, we hope we have been able to convince you otherwise with the many hilarious Culinary Maps in our archives.
If you still have your doubts, however, here’s another hilarious map showing you just how much diversity Europe offers.
The European Fashion Map
So, we know what you are probably thinking right now. How much diversity can Europe have to offer based on fashion alone? Well… why don’t you look at the map for yourself?

Shocked? So were we the first time we saw this map. But while this is pretty much one of the funniest maps we’ve seen, on closer inspection, we came to find the map hilariously accurate!
Breaking Europe into Fashion Groups
After assessing this funny but accurate fashion map of Europe, we decided to break Europe into groups based on the similarities in their fashion trend. Below are those groups:
1. The Accessory Lovers
All over the map and in Europe, you’d find people who have a thing for some clothing, accessories, or other. Take Portugal and Shawls or the Germans and their sandals, for example. These countries and these accessories seem to be inseparable.
Some of these lovers are even so into their preferred accessories; it is almost an obsession. Like, who even wears capes at this age and time?!
2. The Uniform Wearers
If you thought being attached to certain accessories was strange, wait till you get a load of these guys! So who exactly are the uniform wearers? The fashion map of Europe also answers that perfectly: Europeans whose idea of fashionable dressing is one uniform or the other.
Find this hard to believe? Just look at the Greek and Polish fashion trends and see if you still think so.
3. The Extra Extras
“Alright, go back to the fashion map of Europe for a while. Notice any group that doesn’t fit the first two categories? Yes, that one your eye has probably been stuck on for a while is the fake boobs one. Fashion trends like that are the ones that belong to the”extra extra” category. And there are more of them than you think in Europe! All you need to do is look.”Alright, go back to the fashion map of Europe for a while. Notice any group that doesn’t fit the first two categories?

Still think Europe is a continent without diversity?
When you think about shawls (Portugal), cigarette ash stains (France), bling (Switzerland), Silvio & Donatella (Italy), woolen sweaters (Ireland), ridiculous hats (United Kingdom), white socks and sandals (Germany), exhibitionists (Norway, Sweeden, Finland), goths (Denmark), mustaches (Czechia), kevlar, fake boobs, funny uniforms (Greece), baggy pants (Turkey), braided hair, mittens or soviet uniforms, which country did you associate?
