Characteristics of German national customs

Germans don't like to dress too fancy. All clothes pay great attention to neatness. If you wear a suit, you must wear a tie. When attending banquets or going to theaters and other formal occasions, men usually wear dark dresses, while women wear long skirts. In eastern Germany, if you get married, you have to wear a gold ring when you go out.

2. Meeting etiquette

Germans basically shake hands when they meet others in social situations. If you meet acquaintances, friends or family, it is usually a hug. When communicating with guests, they prefer to address each other by titles, but most Germans don't like compliments. If you just met, you shouldn't call them by their first names unless they say you can call them by their first names.

3. Etiquette and manners

Germans are always meticulous about everything and work, and pay attention to manners and manners in public.

A remarkable feature of German women is simplicity, which is not only reflected in clothes, but also in behavior. When communicating with Germans, you will hardly see their casual movements such as frowning, because Germans are very restrained about some of their little moves, and think that these movements are disrespectful to guests and a sign of lack of friendliness and education.
