Is abroad different to the UK?

I bought these trousers last summer in preparation for my summer holiday and I loved them. I really liked wearing them abroad but when it comes to the UK regardless of the weather, I just can't bring myself to wear them. I'm not sure why but I think the rules are different abroad. You can be a bit more experimental and 'out-there' with your clothing when you're on holiday. But when you're in England, it's different. These are very 70's and in-your-face and I think I'd get funny looks if I wore them over here. So I was just wondering, do you have any clothes that you'd dare to wear abroad but not in the UK? Or am I the only one?
