Sneakers

sneakers American fashion, not in Paris? The chief editor of the online magazine Paris Eiffel Tower News tackles the problem from a bilaterali

Non viewpoint.
I can count the number of times travelers who asked me: 'I wear sneakers in Paris?' And other variations of the same issue. American tourists, in particular, are concerned about 'not falling in' with inappropriate shoes.

Tale attitude is truly remarkable. Dressing so as not to shock the sensibilities of the locals: the closer you can get? I can only give compliments to all of you who ever asked the question or thought!

Parigi, French fashion, sneakers

Paris-bound tourists are often of the opinion that French women are die-hard fashion victims. This statement is undoubtedly exaggerated, though access to stylish clothing is heavily subsidized in Paris, where women's magazines like 'Elle' and 'Madame Figaro dictate' what is fashion and what is not.

A my humble opinion, the Perennial tastes are very similar to Paris and New York City. Globalization tends to homogenize fashion, making work-a-day wear similar cities.
matter grandi
Non, the concern remains valid sneaker. Sneakers have become a commodity in the United States, as in Paris?

Il dress code generally accepted business in France bars usually come from gymnastics in a corporate environment, except for low-level positions. Thus the Parisian woman wears beautiful city, shoes for work, unless the company cultivates an image that takes its sport in which to find a natural home.

Eppure sneakers, sneakers are design icons, they become a turn. Adidas, Puma and Nike each have their own Parisian stores, and churn out models in a convincing way-victim could easily shake credit cards. Adidas has recently collaborated with the icon fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto to create Y-3, a new clothing line-up sneakers. Stella McCartney has also his Adidas shoe line.

Che important difference in attitude can be detected between the French and American consumers? The latter will wear sneakers as design items, not like the shoes every day. Trainers will not be bought for comfort, but will find an easy way for an escort when compliment dress-down the tight pants and their owner look good. The She-Parisian loves sneakers which make her feet look thin, small and simple look classy.

Un the type of footwear most commonly seen in women's feet in Paris is saying you will not see all levels, comfortable, comfortable-looking, plain vanilla sneakers. You'll see small, thin, beautiful, single dish, designer sneakers.

Per the same reasons, a pair of Stephane Kelian or Robert Clergerie shoes will almost always be favored over a couple of good-looking Pumas. The shoes are a fashion statement, and the most underestimated is the best.

Questa is another big difference between French and American women. Understatement is a cardinal rule of French fashion. All that is visible is considered too flashy. Is why the little black dress is a fashion icon, and why Audrey Hepburn will always be remembered as the quintessential American fashion Woman. Sneakers

Significa and this

Turisti can not wear sneakers when you travel to Paris? Of course not!

Prima all shoes can be comfortable walking shoes. And walk you will, in Paris. The best way to discover the city is to walk along its streets. Shoes when you feel comfortable 10 miles per day at a nice pace is a majorly important decision for the general atmosphere of your stay in the French capital.

Non recedes wearing sneakers if these are the best hiking boots. And if you have even better walking shoes, pack, even if they make you look like you are on a hike!

Jeans and sneakers are international. People will not be offended by your appearance. Unless you dress in pink tops and electric blue pants, with golden sneakers and Jackie-O shades, no one around will have no second thoughts about your attire.

E ever noticed if your jeans, LL Bean trekking shoes, and Patagonia jacket, and pushed forward to push, you might think you're American. So? In all likelihood, we thank you for visiting Paris.

Pranzo in sneakers

Vuol say can wear tennis shoes all over the world, on any and every occasion? Not so.

Per example, you can dine in a restaurant shoed with your brand-new white sneakers?

Per the sake of it, imagine you're walking in your Levi's jeans and Lands End boots. It 'now time for dinner, you are hungry, and scanning the landscape looking for a restaurant promising. There is! The menu displayed outside is appetizing, prices are in your comfort zone, the place is not so crowded … Ah, but guests are dressed smartly. Left in? Will you fit in?

Devo yet to see a sign indicating gate 'prohibited Sneakers' in Paris. Some places you can leave forehead wisely at bay: "You have a reservation? Sorry, we are full tonight ". But beside those rare snobbish places, no restaurant will refuse to seat because sneakers.

Pertanto casual wear, the right question is not 'will I be allowed in?' But 'I feel comfortable entering a dressy place in the role of training' probably would not have dared. And the problem is that being self-conscious is a surefire way to kill your meal. The focus should be on your plate and on the food, without shoes and garb.

La My rule of thumb is 'Dress according to the lieu'. If you plan to dine at expensive, dressy restaurants when you're in Paris, just bring your Pradas. Better yet, a visit to Robert Clergerie and Stephane Kelian boutique in Paris, and bought shoes looking great from these places Parisians designers.

Altri and sneakers

Ci are other places where sneakers just will not cut it.

L 'Opera House is certainly one of them. But who would be so foolish as not to dress for night work? The point of sneakers and say moot.

Che a cabaret? I would say that it is much better when you have to dress for dinner in a cabaret like 'Moulin Rouge', 'Lido', and 'Paradis Latin'. Although only the scene is well lit in these places, the fact is that the people around you usually dress. You'll feel much more comfortable in more formal wear.

Come some boats on the Seine? If you are on board a boat for a cruise with dinner, do not wear sneakers. This is a romantic experience, you want to make the most of it. An evening dress is 'de rigueur'. On the other hand, if you simply want to cruise up and down the stream, sneakers are fine.

Musei? Forget style, wear very comfortable shoes. Nobody looks at the shoes, the art on the walls. But walk through the galleries of the Louvre is a tiring experience: see also the many galleries, so slow down the pace. The good doctor's advice: go with cushion and art comfort.

Galleria 'vernissage'? Style is your cue. Art galleries are small, vernissage evenings are short. Evening dress, black preferably, nothing flashy, and good-looking design shoes. Sneakers.

Avvolgimento N. up

Abito place to go. If you are not sure about the dress code, you can call in advance to have it evaluated. Pack a dressy pair of shoes, or buy one when you're in Paris. Bring a discreet, understated evening dress.

Ma not back away from sneakers to other not-so-formal occasions. Take them shamelessly in the street. Mixes well if I wear a pair of jeans and a pair of sneakers. Nike is an American brand, and is very popular in France. Levi's, Diesel, Calvin Klein and American brands, and that rule the French jeans scene too. In fact, I can not think of any domain in France where American culture did not leave a mark – except maybe cuisine.

Così well in tennis shoes, and enjoy the view.
