My mother and I are again from Paris, and the journey was the shot within the arm we each wanted. (Thanks for all of your recs!) I’m excited to write down an extended recap in a pair days — together with the place we stayed and ate — however within the meantime, only for enjoyable, I wished to share just a few issues we noticed individuals sporting. Right here goes…

1. Not breaking information, however I observed once more what number of French girls put on their hair windswept and bedhead-y, versus completely polished. Some humorous proof? After I stopped brushing my hair midway by way of our journey, extra shopkeepers spoke to me in French and at least three older French girls approached me for instructions. (Greatest three moments of my life lol.)

2. Jannelle not too long ago wrote about fanny packs, and holy smokes, the sac banane is A Factor in Paris. Most appeared to be from the model Rivedroite, and the XL in military green slung over the chest seemed particularly cool.

3. Talking of inexperienced, the colour was in every single place: blazers, shirts, sweaters, you title it. I like how inexperienced reads as a impartial however feels slightly extra enjoyable than black, navy or cream, don’t you?

4. As all the time, many individuals have been sporting sneakers, together with Veja, Adidas, Nike and Reebok, however New Balance was the model we observed most. (I additionally just like the low profile of this ivory pair.)

5. Pearl rings. Throughout the week, we frolicked quite a bit with my pal’s pal Cassi, who lives in Paris and wears a pearl gumball ring. I’m unsure if this can be a city-wide pattern, however I’m pointing it out regardless as a result of it was so beautiful!

6. Many ladies wore belted jackets and coats (even puffers). Not simply basic beige trenches — though we did see these — however many different colours, like green (plus), black and red.

7. Chunky scarves on everybody, in every single place, all the time and ceaselessly. They’re such a straightforward technique to make a cold-weather outfit look particular. Joke: On my method dwelling, earlier than safety, the airport performed a particular video reminding individuals to take away their scarves — it confirmed an animated line drawing of a French man sporting a shawl after which the headband floated off him. That’s how you can do it!

Ideas? Would you put on any, or do you already? In the event you stay in Paris, do these ring true?

P.S. Women share their beauty uniforms, and the weirdest best part of trips.
