Okay, here’s my blog post about figuring out what to wear in France, written in a casual, conversational style, and avoiding any links:
Alright, so I had this trip to France planned, right? And I’m staring at my closet, totally clueless. I mean, France! Fashion capital and all that. I didn’t wanna look like a total tourist slob, but I also didn’t wanna be that person who’s trying way too hard.
So, first thing I did was hit up the weather app. Gotta know what I’m dealing with. It was gonna be, like, mild temperatures, a bit of sun, maybe some rain. Classic spring weather. Okay, that narrows it down a little.
My research process
Then I started looking at some pictures. Just, you know, casual shots of people in France, what they wear on the streets. I noticed a lot of, like, simple but stylish stuff. Think good quality basics. Not a lot of bright, flashy logos or anything.
I am noticed some details of the people dressing in France streets：
- Nice jeans: Not ripped up or super distressed, just a good, dark wash.
- Simple tops: Like, a plain white tee, a striped shirt, a black sweater. Nothing fancy.
- Layers: A light jacket or a cardigan, ’cause you never know with the weather.
- Comfortable shoes: Sneakers, but the nice kind, not your gym shoes. Or maybe some stylish flats or ankle boots.
- A scarf: Seems like everyone in France wears a scarf! Adds a little something extra.
Based on all that, I started pulling stuff out of my closet. I grabbed a pair of dark wash jeans, a couple of plain t-shirts (one white, one black), a striped long-sleeve shirt, and a navy blue cardigan. For shoes, I packed my comfy white sneakers and a pair of black ankle boots, just in case I wanted to dress up a bit more.
I also found a nice, lightweight scarf in my drawer. It’s a neutral color, so it’ll go with everything. Figured that would be perfect for adding a little French flair, and also for keeping warm if it got chilly.
I tried everything on, just to make sure it all worked together. Made a few outfits in my head, so I wouldn’t have to think too much about it while I was there. The key, I figured, was to be comfortable, but also look put-together.
And you know what? It worked! I felt good the whole trip. I didn’t feel out of place, and I was comfortable enough to walk around all day and explore. Success!
And that is all about my sharing, hope can help you!
