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:

    us have developed some nice methods and we are looking to swap strategies
    with others, please shoot me an e-mail if interested.

  7. Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG
    editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I
    wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  8. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more
    than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
    Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great images or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!

    Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this website could undeniably

  10. Durch die Reibung zwischen Ihrem Finger und der Papieroberfläche entsteht Wärme, wodurch sich das Papier an den beschriebenen Stellen schwarz färbt.
    Weshalb verblasst der Druck auf Thermopapier? Das ist nur bei Thermopapier möglich.
    Thermopapier wenn Sie so wollen ist temperatur- und lichtempfindlich.
    Sollte es wirklich eng werden ist nichts mehr zu
    erkennen. Daher verlangen die Finanzbehörden oftmals das Anfertigen von langlebigen Kopien der Kassenbons auf Thermopapier.
    Darum sind einige Kassenbons, Tankbelege und Parkscheine schon nach wenigen Monaten schlechter zu lesen. Bei Verwendung hochwertiger Thermopapiere sind bei licht- und wärmegeschützter Lagerung die Druckbilder der Belege
    auch noch nach vielen Jahren hervorragend lesbar.

    Der Thermodruck auf den Belegen aller unserer Thermorollen ist
    bei sachgemäßer Lagerung über 10 Jahre hinaus lesbar.
    Thermopapier sollte grundsätzlich nicht dem direkten Sonnenlicht, sowie
    keiner großen Hitze ausgesetzt werden. Die Thermorollen bei bonstore weisen aber eine verbesserte Beschichtung auf,
    die gegenüber Umwelteinflüssen resistenter ist.
    Aus Thermopapier bestehende Kassenbelege, sollten ebenfalls
    dunkel und kühl lagern. Die Licht geschützte Lagerung in kühlen Räumen, ermöglicht eine lange Haltbarkeit
    neuer verpackter Thermorollen jahrelang. So sollten die Belege nicht in Taschen, Klarsichtfolien, oder Geldbörsen deponiert sein.
