Sneakers

In this article, the editor of Paris-Eiffel-Tower-News, Phil Chavanne, discusses the role of sneakers as fashion accessories for Parigi.

I can not count the number of times when the passengers asked me: 'I wear sneakers in Paris? 'And other variants of the same issue. American tourists, in particular, are concerned about 'not falling in the' shoes inadeguate.

This 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!

first time in France and Paris are convinced that all French women are picture-perfect fashionistas. This is very exaggerated, though access to clothes and fashion and all that fashion is easy in Paris, where the magazine 'Elle' what is still called in fuori.

and still can not find a difference so great in taste for the eternal in the streets of Paris and New York avenues. Although there are significant differences, the leading brands are international in nature, and are imitated throughout the world. Globalization and imitations tend to homogenize fashion, making everyday wear look similar to large cities such as Paris, London, Milan and New York.

But the question remains valid on sneakers. Sneakers have become a commodity in the United States, as in Paris?

At first glance, I would not be nearly as many women wearing sneakers in Paris as in New York during the work week. The dress code generally accepted in France, looking sneakers. City shoes Therefore, unless the employer cultivates a younger, sporty image, the Parisian woman wears discreet lavorare.

trying to go yet, sneakers are the 'it' shoe when they become design icons . Adidas, Puma and Nike each have their own stores in Paris, where dozens of different models are exposed. Judging by the crowds these shops attract, none of these brands suffer from popularity deficit disorder Parigi.

So what's the main difference in attitude between the shoe of American consumers and female consumers of the female sex in France? The latter will wear sneakers as design items, not like the shoes every day. Do not want to buy sneakers for comfort. If you buy sneakers dress-down pants and compliment them look smarter. You buy sneakers which make her feet look thin, small and classe.

A mere glance the types of shoes most commonly seen in women's feet in Paris is saying you will not see all levels, comfortable, comfortable-looking shoes, gymnastics plain vanilla. You'll see small, thin, beautiful, single dish, sneakers designer.

For the same reasons, a couple of 'escarpins' of Stephane Kelian or Prada will always be favored over a pair of Pumas. The shoes are a fashion statement, and most underestimated, the è.

better and this 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. This is why the French little black dress is a fashion icon, and why Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly will always be remembered as 'the' ladies moda.

American tourists and shoes ginnastica

All this means that you can not wear shoes gymnastics when you 're traveling to Paris? Of course not!

First of all, sneakers 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 capital francese.

is still wearing sneakers if these are your best walking shoes. And if you have even better walking shoes, pack, even if they make you look like you are on a hike!

Frankly, I would ask this question. Who cares how it looks in the street? Do not be self-conscious, comfortable shoes. You are a visitor, these are your vacations, this is your moment of his! 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 abbigliamento.

And if you ever notice your jeans, LL Bean trekking shoes, jacket and Patagonia, and go on pushing, you might think you're American. So? In all likelihood, we thank you for visiting Parigi.

Restaurants and sneakers

Now, what does that mean you can wear tennis shoes all over the world, on any and every occasion? Probably no.

restaurants are a case in point. You can dine in sneakers?

say you are walking along in your casual jeans and comfortable shoes Lands End It 'now time for dinner, and is looking for a restaurant. There is! The menu displayed outside is appetizing, prices are quite expensive, the place is not too crowded … but guests are dressed smartly. Left in? Will you fit in?

I have yet to see in Paris, bears a sign indicating 'No Sneakers Allowed In'. True, some places up before leaving wisely at bay: "You have a reservation? Sorry, we are full tonight ". But in general, no restaurant will refuse to wear shoes because seat ginnastica.

The right question is therefore not 'Will they allow me in?' But 'wants to feel comfortable entering a dressy place in sneakers?' I dare say, probably not. And being aware of itself, is not the best way to enjoy your meal. The focus should be on your plate and on the food, without shoes and abbigliamento.

So my rule is 'Dress according to the place where to go'. If you plan to dine at expensive, dressy restaurants when you're in Paris, just pack your Pradas. Even better: visit Robert Clergerie and Stephane Kelian boutique in Paris, and buy great-looking footwear by these typically parigina.
elsewhere and designer shoes ginnastica

There are other places where sneakers just will not cut esso.

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

What about 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 at ease in a certain wear formale.

Like other 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 bene.

museums? 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 comfort.

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

Wrap-Dress up

depending on where you go. If in doubt, call in advance to understand the dress code. Pack a good pair of shoes, or buy some when you're in Paris. Bring a nice dress evening sottostimati.

but not shy, not far from shoes for every-so-formal occasions. Bring them into the street, without shame. Mix without any problem if you are wearing jeans and a pair of sneakers. Nike is an American brand, and is very popular in France. Levi's, Diesel, Wrangler, and Calvin Klein are American brands, and to rule the world, even in jeans Francia.

know in tennis shoes, and enjoy vista.
