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:

  22. Schon seit ewigen Zeiten der Rolex-Ära legte
    Gründer und Visionär Hans Wilsdorf gleichermaßen Wert auf die
    gehobenen Ansprüche von Männern und Frauen an eine hochwertige Uhr.
    Mit der Rolex Datejust entstand nicht nur ein Meisterwerk an Perfektion – als erster Chronometer mit Kalenderfunktion war die Rolex Datejust zudem ein echter
    Meilenstein in der Geschichte von Rolex. Neben anderen der Rolex Lady Datejust
    entwickelte die Luxusmanufaktur Ende der 1950er-Jahre das weibliche Pendant zu diesem modernen Klassiker
    der Uhrmacherkunst. In Zeiten von Pionierinnen und Abenteurerinnen war eine
    Uhr wie die Rolex Lady Datejust nicht nur schmückendes Accessoire, sondern sollte auch durch Funktionalität in Alltag
    und Beruf überzeugen. Sie gilt heute wie früher als Symbol für die einzigartigen Stärken einer Frau, die von selbstbewussten Markenbotschafterinnen aus Kultur,
    Sport und Wissenschaft verkörpert werden. Jede Frau war
    und ist mit dieser Uhr bis dato in des Wortes wahrster Bedeutung „up to
    date”. Wir bei CHRONEXT legen höchsten Wert auf die Qualität unserer Luxusuhren.

  23. Cala Ratjada ist ein lebhafter Urlaubsort an der Nordostküste
    Mallorcas. Er gehört zur Gemeinde Capdepera und erfreut sich besonders bei deutschen Urlaubern großer Beliebtheit.
    Hinter Cala Ratjada steigen pinienbewachsene Hügel an, die an einigen Stellen als
    Felsküste ins Meer abfallen. Der Badeort verfügt über einen wichtigen Hafen, der von einer Betonmauer vor der Brandung geschützt wird und im Südosten liegt.
    In den historischen Langustenhäusern östlich des Hafenbeckens werden Langusten lebendig in Meerwasserbecken gehalten,
    bis sich ein Käufer gefunden hat. Cala Ratjada wird dank der zahlreichen Strände
    neben des Ortes besonders häufig von Familien mit Kindern besucht.
    Der Küstenort Cala Ratjada wurde nicht am Reißbrett
    entworfen und ist aus historischer Sicht kein klassischer
    Touristenort, obwohl sich das Image in den zurückliegenden 40 Jahren gewandelt hat.
    Gegründet wurde der Ort im 17. Jahrhundert als kleine Fischersiedlung von den Einwohnern der Ortschaft Capdepera.
    In den fischreichen Küstengewässern stellten die Fischer vorrangig Rochen und
    Langusten nach.
