Meet the Germans presenter Rachel Stewart investigates Germany's sartorial habits — from the street to the catwalk.

Rachel moved from the UK to Germany in 2016. As a relative newcomer, she casts a fresh eye over German clichés and shares her experiences of settling into German life. Every two weeks, she explores a new topic — from saunas to asparagus , to the ins and outs of German small talk.

This week, she's taking a peek into the German closet. What defines German style? Where do these fashion quirks come from? And which German city goes entirely against the grain?
