On Paris...suits don't have the same cultural meaning, but baggy jumpers might not keep you out of trouble.
I think muggers just smell the money and vulnerability. Local people also get mugged /pickpocketed in some circumstances, but in general they have a distinctly different way of moving through the city that makes strangers stand out.

- makeitdouble 3y agoYou gotta give it to Parisians that they stand their ground on the car vs others battle. One the factor that made it easier to accept Paris closing a bunch of streets to cars was that it was already an utter chaos and cars where crawling at peak hours. Biking was an actual fast option, and people sure did get the message.
