Thanks for the style update. Interesting observations.&nbsp;</p> <p>You definitely fit right in!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382976 Mon, 24 Mar 2025 04:15:30 +0000 avicennia 2382976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After years and years of not wearing jeans, I’ve just bought two pairs of COH gaucho jeans. My style was always polished trousers. But a shop window tempted me to buy jeans. You look lovely, the navy coat suits you. I’m curious about the lack of scarves, is it because the temps are warming up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382969 Mon, 24 Mar 2025 01:10:24 +0000 Jaime 2382969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous picture! I love that bag and I am not even a huge bag person.<br />Intriguing report - wish I could see the interesting shapes on the men's hair! And the studded shoes. Who am I kidding - I want to see it all. Will settle for a picture of you in your new items though, if and when you have the chance . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382965 Mon, 24 Mar 2025 00:41:48 +0000 Lisa 2382965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great report on current French street style!</p> <p>Your comment about getting away from jeans everyday really resonated for me. I always had a heavy jeans based wardrobe and wore them daily for YEARS. I still enjoy denim but have started adding trousers and casual pants in to the mix and it really freshened up my wardrobe. Plus, I notice that trousers and casual pants are often softer fabrics with more drape and movement to them, making them very comfortable!</p> <p>I look forward to your trouser outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382944 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 20:43:49 +0000 Suz 2382944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab observations and it sounds like a great getaway. You look gorgeous in your coat and bag and leopard print!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382938 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 20:28:44 +0000 Carol 2382938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also trending this year: the ever-present cobblestone streets of Paris! Gosh that photo makes me miss it--I did my study abroad there.</p> <p>Love the trend notes--thanks for that. Easy to picture, and good to have an idea of what's what in Europe.</p> <p>I liked that you use your trip to inspire your style direction. I like to think that I, too, look to Europe for my style. Mostly just big ideas, though--like I won't wear dirty jogging sneakers around.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382934 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 17:21:07 +0000 Angie 2382934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the report, <b>UmmLila</b>! Always interesting You look super cute in navy with high contrast accents! Great you could escape wet weather.&nbsp;</p> <p>We lived in France 21 years ago - and what you see on the streets now, sounds similar to back then ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>Personally, I can vouch for wearing dressier trousers as everyday wear! I have a large capsule and am thankful I do. SOOOO comfy. Versatile, practical, polished, and combats denim boredom.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382930 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 15:58:27 +0000 Carla 2382930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! &nbsp;I do love a ‘seen on the street’ fashion&nbsp;report. </p> <p>Last week I spent a day at a destination spa in the countryside. &nbsp;I arrived early and sat in my car for a while watching the last of the staff arrive. &nbsp;They all wore black tops, black bottoms, and black puffers. &nbsp;After a while the guests started arriving, and everyone wore - black tops, black bottoms and dark puffers! It made me laugh because I was wearing: black leggings, a black top, and a black puffer!</p> <p>It was the first day of spring. &nbsp;The snow is gone, but the only signs of spring are snow drops, and pussy willows.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382928 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 15:10:25 +0000 Irina 2382928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the report. I so miss being in Europe. I have to wait for 6 more months until my next trip.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382925 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 13:55:12 +0000 LJP 2382925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting report ! Puffers or quilted coats of any weight , sneakers with everything, and even jeans are too ubiquitous and getting boring to look at . You’ve got me itching to dress a little differently ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382921 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 13:27:31 +0000 Cookie 2382921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You certainly do look to be fitting in! I could have had a trip to Paris next month (mom escapade) … but am going to NYC instead (wedding) … maybe I will live to regret that choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382919 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 11:19:03 +0000 Star (Lise) 2382919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info, interesting!&nbsp; Your buys sound really fab, hope to see them in action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/paris-fashion-commentary#post-2382917 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 09:48:12 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2382917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took a very last minute trip to Paris last week because the weather in my Andalusian village has been quite rainy for almost a month, and Paris had a pleasant and sunny forecast, As always, I adore people watching, seeing both what locals wear and what other visitors wear. Cafes are perfect for this, with their street-facing woven chairs, as are the light green metal chairs ubiquitous in the Jardin de Luxembourg and Tuileries. Museum-goers are interesting as well.</p> <p>Things I saw a lot of: <ul> <li>Young women in light blue giant baggy jeans</li> <li>Polished trousers</li> <li>Navy and black long coats</li> <li>Mini or knee length skirts with tights and boots</li> <li>Shop windows had lots of black shoes with silver studs/grommets or patent leather “babies” in light colors</li> <li>Well-groomed hair on women (smooth and shiny) and men (interesting shapes)</li> <li>Shoulder bags and totes of practical size (the belted satchels and the woven leather are popular)</li> <li>Leather bomber jackets</li> <li>Collarless lady jackets with gold buttons</li> <li>Oval sunglasses</li> </ul> Things I saw less of: <ul> <li>Jeans on women over 30</li> <li>Poly-quilted jackets (except Patagonias on American tourists)</li> <li>Beige trench coats</li> <li>Scarves</li> <li>Sneakers</li> <li>Dark brown</li> <li>Oversized looks</li> <li>Patterns</li> </ul> <div>What did I buy in Paris: a brown leather jacket (not bomber but with an interesting shape); light blue flare jeans with little front pockets; red patent low wedges and light blue low slingbacks. I had in mind to buy a white or cream handbag there, but concluded that prices were too high and that I can get something nicer in Spain. And I thought about a silk scarf but in the end decided that they read a little old-fashioned.</p> <p>My not-yet-implemented takeaway — I’d like to get away from my typical day to day of jeans and a sweater, perhaps by finding some trousers that can be machine or hand washed easily and are suitable for my day to day casual life. And when the weather warms up in a couple of weeks, I’d like to look into blouses with ruffles, drape or a bit of transparency. </p> <p>I felt that I fit in pretty well in all neighborhoods with my long navy coat. I only have the one picture of myself that a friend took in Montmartre.</div> </p>
