Nope, it's a European thing. I always have a bit of reverse culture-shock when I've been away in Europe for a while, and then re-enter the US and see way too many people (even at the airport!) in baggy sweatpants and especially sweatshirts (hoodies, anyone?). You never see that in Europe, ever. Okay, maybe the UK?... but I am not as familiar with those natives.

Of course, sometimes I just WANT to run to the store in a sweatshirt, but no... that would be really freaky in Iceland. If I'm wearing one, I usually throw on my dressy wool coat over it, so no one will see the sweatshirt.
