French Fashion (Women’s and Men’s)

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:

    on numerous websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
    I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.

  5. Hi! This is my first visit to your blog! We are
    a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the same niche.
    Your blog provided us beneficial information to work on. You
    have done a marvellous job!

  6. This design is wicked! You certainly know how to
    keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
    almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really loved what you had to say,
    and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  7. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it
    seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
    You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just
    posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us
    something informative to read?

  8. I was recommended this blog by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this
    post is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my problem.
    You’re wonderful! Thanks!

  9. Thanks a lot for sharing this with all folks you really know what you are talking approximately!
    Bookmarked. Please additionally consult with my web site =).
    We may have a link change contract between us

  10. I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both
    educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is something which too few people are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i’m very happy I found this during my search for something relating
    to this.

  11. Very great post. I simply stumbled upon your weblog and wished
    to say that I’ve truly loved surfing around
    your blog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing for your
    feed and I’m hoping you write again very soon!

  12. Having read this I thought it was really informative.
    I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this informative article
    together. I once again find myself personally spending a lot of time both reading and leaving comments.
    But so what, it was still worthwhile!

  13. Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few
    months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to
    stop hackers?

  14. Right here is the perfect website for everyone
    who hopes to understand this topic. You understand so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa).
    You certainly put a fresh spin on a subject that’s been discussed
    for ages. Excellent stuff, just great!

  15. I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your web site.
    Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues?

    A couple of my blog readers have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great
    in Safari. Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?

  16. I think that everything published was actually
    very reasonable. But, think on this, suppose you added a little information? I am not suggesting
    your content is not good, however suppose you added a post title that makes people want more?
    I mean French Fashion (Women’s and Men’s) – Bryanna
    Vs The World is kinda vanilla. You could peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create post titles to get people to click.
    You might add a related video or a pic or two to get people excited
    about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.

  17. Hello there, just became aware of your blog through Google,
    and found that it’s really informative. I am gonna watch out
    for brussels. I will be grateful if you continue this in future.

    A lot of people will be benefited from your writing.

    Cheers!
