I like the green puffer with yellow top and white bottoms from #3 shop window. A nice change from darker colors. In general styles look very sporty probably due to the popularity of puffers and converse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cologne-street-style#post-2375955 Fri, 06 Dec 2024 21:42:16 +0000 Anonymous 2375955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great report, Carla. &nbsp;I hope your travels are going smoothly. &nbsp; I like seeing greens and rust in the shop windows. &nbsp;Two of my favorites for fall. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cologne-street-style#post-2375835 Thu, 05 Dec 2024 03:56:01 +0000 Bijou 2375835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, those shiny burgundy boots are stunning!

Germany and the Nordic areas have an aesthetic which is almost unknowable to me. While France and Italy are about taste and elegance, Germany/Nordic seem to have some sort of art school thing going on, which I find fascinating. This is all observation from abroad--I have not been to Europe in years.</p> <p>What stood out for me was the description of all those combat boots. Here, they would mostly be black, and connote a certain personality (punk, grunge, etc.) There, in all their colors, they sound just as versatile as Converse.</p> <p>When I think of this part of the world, I think of all the loud backpacks they have invented, which seem so ugly but become de rigeur.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cologne-street-style#post-2375760 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 15:44:37 +0000 RobinF 2375760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your people (the Converse)!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cologne-street-style#post-2375756 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 15:20:12 +0000 Angie 2375756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Carla</b>! Burgundy is alive and well in shop windows, I see. </p> <p>I miss Cologne! Have been many times. I love the way little kids are dressed in Germany </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cologne-street-style#post-2375752 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 14:57:50 +0000 Carla 2375752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are just observations whilst walking about the downtown core of Cologne (pop. around 1 million) where folks are as likely to be tourists as locals. &nbsp;</p> <p>In&nbsp;a sea of black puffers, a few bright colours stand out. Also, oyster white and some burgundy. &nbsp;I saw black puffer outfits where a hat or bag in an unusual colour was a ‘pop of colour’. &nbsp;The sour brights - especially a greenish colour like the puffers in #2 and #3 seems popular as well as teal, other greens, and orange for a hat, scarf or bag. &nbsp; Everything else black, or possibly dark wash denim. &nbsp;</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div>This is also the first city where I saw a lot of converse sneakers (!!) black or coloured. &nbsp;Black leather Chelsea boots with rounded or squared toe seem popular. &nbsp;Also combat style boots in colours: the acid green mentioned above, teal, red, mustard yellow. &nbsp;Tonal winter white with a long coat - despite the damp weather - is a look embraced by a few brave souls.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Once again, not a lot of ‘bling’ or hardware on footwear or bags. &nbsp;Smooth, rich looking leather in simple shapes - large half moon or tote style. No baseball hats. &nbsp;Knit hats, chunky beanies, berets.</p> <p>Not much obvious branding, but a surprising amount of North Face jackets and backpacks. Very little pattern. &nbsp;Not seeing any warm beige, camel, or brown. &nbsp;</p> <p> </div> </p>
