> "But in Sweden we dress down compared to other countries."
That's very surprising to me. To me, the Swedish think more about their looks than any other country.

Compare https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sweden+business+office&t=ffsb&iax=... with https://duckduckgo.com/?q=germany+business+office&t=ffsb&iar... .
The people in the Germany pictures are more likely to be wearing a dress shirt. The people who wear a business jacket in the Sweden pictures are less likely to be wearing a tie.
My experience is also that people (or at least managers) in the UK also tend to wear suits, with ties, more than in Sweden.
I was explaining that my use of "dress down" was in a business context. And it's not like I have a pan-European experience. My account was a chance to tell an anecdote which supported the OP's views.
