Syle is there a consensus?

Having just travelled in the south of Italy (beautiful), the differences in style even with so called western faishon has been highlighted. The number of orange trousers (men only), the loose cotton style immediatly identifies a man as italian, spanish and maybe portugese. Trainers were back in faishon the airpump type. When I commented about the trainers in Italy- i was told that they are in faishon, hmm So should I like it? I remember when i wore trainers with a dress in UK back in the late 90's and the medettereans just did not get it 'nice dress shame about those shoes..'. So is there such a think as superior style? There are mainy choices of clothes that most of would think that is nice, but still would not wear.Hence this points to some consensus going beyond cultural differences
