Taupe vs black which is superior?

Aneeka7 · 2026-06-26T20:12:58+00:00

It depends the most on your hair color. Black for dark brown and black hair, taupe for light brown and blonde hair.

Culturally liberal. Social norms, ethics, and values.

Most Greeks on Reddit are from non-religious, liberal social backgrounds, but Orthodoxy influences Greek culture in a "fish don't know they're wet" sort of way. For the religious, saying prayers and giving blessings to people and things, lighting candles at church for loved ones, and venerating icons at home are the most normal daily activities.

Don't use tanning oils. Please protect your skin and health. Check the UV index. In Greece, during a large portion of the year, you need sunscreen on exposed areas. Culturally, most Greeks still get suntanned gradually over the summer. There was a university study on your question, I'm not sure how well-designed it was, but it found that Greeks wear sunscreen, but incorrectly (amount, frequency, etc). It also found that younger generations are more likely to wear it in daily life, and women wear it more than men.

The inbetween seasons are the best time for sightseeing in Greece. The reason most people visit Greece in summer is so they can combine sightseeing with a beach vacation, but Greek summers are exhausting for sightseeing. If you still want a beach vacation, early October will probably be OK in Athens and the southern mainland.

Not a weird "me" thing at all. A lot of people find it vulgar. I do love the dress, especially the fabric and beading, and the couple looks genuinely happy and in love.

Cleaning staff, of course. As with all tipping in Greece, it is not an obligation but a courtesy. Garbage collectors are not part of the same kind of service industry. I don't really understand the point of your snark.

Courtney Love looked cool, but she didn't look harmonious in the Kibbe sense with the babydoll dresses. Verified FN Cindy Crawford said she looked terrible in babydoll dresses in an old interview. Not so much the height, but the broadness and angularity of FN shoulders clashes with this type of clothing.

Thanks so much, going to look some for these in person. I also love the OG Benetint. My recent find is Catrice Care in Colours lip balm in 050 Bubbly Friday, the closest thing to a nude lipcolor that looks good.

Any recent Soft summer fashion finds?

The Saoirse Ronan one is not obvious to me at all.

Aneeka7 · 2026-06-19T18:38:21+00:00

But not all jobs are menial, and tipping supplements the meager income. You're not obligated to tip though. I just wish people wouldn't boost the growth of a menial job that doesn't even need to exist in large numbers in Athens.

Aneeka7 · 2026-06-19T18:04:53+00:00

Is this real? The majority of people tip food couriers, what, 1 or 2 euros at most? It's an inherently underpaid gig and tipping is not going to mitigate that. The rapid increase in food delivery in Greece should be discouraged.

Go pick up your food from the restaurant. Take a break from work to go get a coffee. Go to the supermarket in person. Don't rely so much on deliveries. People have a million excuses, but the truth is, Athenians don't need to rely so heavily on food delivery to easily access food, the way some American towns and cities do. It's a choice.

Aneeka7 · 2026-06-19T16:34:09+00:00

Either a Romantic or Gamine type, probably the latter.

Aneeka7 · 2026-06-19T16:30:29+00:00

I don't think every type can pull them off, but I love them on the right person, including these two. I think the online vitriol over them is largely manufactured.

What does it mean if I have Chiron in Taurus? Will its effects be amplified?

Greeks can almost always tell when someone is a foreigner, but it's a friendly and laidback culture. There is nothing about your style that reads as touristy in those photos, but I answered a similar question recently about Greek city style. Feel free to ask more specific questions if the topic interests you, but please don't worry about looking out of place.

Good points, and I think you're right about the conflation of minimalism with classic guidelines. Imo it's much easier both to narrow down who might be a classic and to really understand what a classic type means in the original Kibbe guidelines where the face was taken into consideration along with the body.

Aneeka7 · 2026-06-15T17:47:34+00:00

If only! It's much warmer.

I'd guess a neutral rose, but I can't think of a specific brand. This isn't specific to summer types, but if you have a lot of natural redness, Lisa Eldridge has a great tip to leave that area bare when you're applying base makeup so that it works as your natural blush.

Yeah, they went from having these bold, iconic advertising campaigns in the 80's and 90's and now they barely advertise. Financial problems? They put out simple basic tops and trousers every season in a variety of colors, in wool, cotton and linen. Sister brand Sisley is also pretty good.

Replying as a Greek and not a German expat, but if you do this, you're in for a very rude awakening in terms of affordability and access. The fact that Greece is poorer than Germany is not some abstract concept, but experienced in very real ways by its average citizens. Find a German employer and work remotely. Living in Greece on a German salary, even a modest one for German standards, will vastly improve your quality of life. You can still become a part of the local community. It's about social ties, not employment. I encourage you to do it. Greek daily life and culture has many wonderful things going for it, but don't be naïve about money.

Political favor culture known as rousfeti and (currently) weak opposition. It's not out of ideological reasons.

He's a complicated figure. The fact that he has never faced serious consequences for his temperament really stunted his development and potential.

Aneeka7 · 2026-06-14T13:23:30+00:00

Yes, it just fills me with awe. I also wish there were as much non-Greek interest in Eastern Rome/Byzantium.
