Clothes

I was in Austria and Germany last year and now im planning on moving there somewhere near munster or dusseldorf. I currently live in Las Vegas and im of a hispanic background. Our fashion is mostly Chicano style baggy jeans and baggy shirts and I was influenced by punk and skating so it's a little different. When I went I was getting a lot of stares my roommate and I laughed about it but it was a bit uncomfortable in some situations. An old lady on the train was staring at my gages and tattoos but after we talked she was a sweetheart and asked if she could touch my ears and to see my tattoos. Some Germans I befriended later expressed they were intimidated by me and my tattoo artist in Austria almost didn't let me book with her when she seen my Instagram but said I was nice over text so she agreed and now we talk almost every day.

Long story short I understand I'm moving and I dont want to draw unnecessary attention to myself. Is there a way to dress that would be more respectable in Germany? I wear slacks and dress shirts when I have to but on my everyday I do like to be able to breath. I bought walking shoes and more comfy clothes but I dont know if I should bring my whole closet. I know it's a stupid question but this is your home and I want to be able to make people around me comfortable.

I'm planning on moving to Germany or Austria soon. I have a1 level german speaking level. I'm certified in several diesel engines and moved into a foreman position. I now manage 80+ drivers and techs. I have worked in mexico, the U.S. and Canada so adapting to different cultures is nothing new. Is the job market just as bad in blue collar as it is in white collar positions?
