I’ll be honest with you guys. I’m not really into fashion and therefore know very little about it. Half of my clothes have graphics on them (and a lot of those are Doctor Who and Harry potter). That said, I’m really interested in how people from other countries dress in their everyday lives. And because of that, I’m going to be focusing more on everyday life and less on model type fashion that no normal person can afford.
It seems like doing a blog about French fashion should be a given. After all, Paris is regarded by most to be the fashion capital of the world, and there are plenty of fashion boutiques in Paris to keep it that way. Not to mention a lot of French fashion brands have their headquarters in Paris (brands like Chanel, Luis Vuitton, Dior, Lacroix and more).
These are what every blog post I’ve read agrees on for French fashion (this applies to both women and men):
- Sneakers are only okay to wear if you’re working out
- Outfits should be a bit dressed up
- At the same time, keep it simple
- Spend time looking for a style that suits your body type
- Most of your wardrobe should be neutral colors: black, white and beige (your accessories can add pops of color to your wardrobe)
- Quality matters more than quantity (spend more on a few quality items rather than buying a bunch of cheap items)
- Scarves
- Layer your outfit
- Don’t spend a lot of time on your hair

Speaking of models, France has cracked down on the promotion of anorexia this year by passing a law in May that makes it a requirement for models to get certified that they’re healthy by a doctor (every 2 years). And in addition to this, not disclosing that you retouched a photo is subject to a fine. Read more about this in the New York Times:
