Can I Wear Sneakers in Paris
In this article, the Senior Editor of Paris-Eiffel-Tower-News, Phil Chavanne,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], discusses the role of sneakers as fashion accessories in Paris.
I can count the number of times travelers who asked me: hould I wear sneakers in Paris??and other variations of the same question. American tourists especially are concerned about ot fitting in?with inappropriate shoes.
That attitude is remarkable indeed. Dressing so as not to shock the sensitivity of the locals: how much more considerate can you get,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? I can only give kudos to all of you who ever asked the question or thought about it!
Many first-time visitors to France and Paris are convinced that all French women are picture-perfect fashionistas. This is vastly exaggerated, even though access to stylish clothing and everything fashion is easy in Paris where lle?magazine still dictates what in and out.
Yet I don find such a big difference in perennial tastes in the streets of Paris and in New-York avenues. Even though variations do exist, leading brands are international in nature,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and they are imitated everywhere. Globalization and imitations tend to homogenize fashion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], making everyday wear look similar in large cities like Paris, London, Milan, and NYC.
But the question about sneakers remains valid. Sneakers have become such a commodity in the US, how is it in Paris,Air Max Tailwall +2010?
At first glance, I would venture there is hardly as many women wearing sneakers in Paris as in New York during the work week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],Air Jordan 11. The generally accepted business dress code in France looks down on sneakers. Therefore, unless her employer cultivates a younger,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sporty image,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Parisian woman wears discreet-looking city shoes to go to work.
Yet sneakers are the t?shoe when they become design icons. Adidas, Puma and Nike each have their own stores in Paris, where dozens of different models are on display. Judging by the crowds these shops attract, none of these brands suffer from popularity deficit disorder in Paris.
So what the major difference in shoe-attitude between the American female consumer and the French female consumer? The latter will wear sneakers as design items, not as workaday shoes. She won buy sneakers for comfort. She will buy sneakers if they compliment dress-down pants and make them look smarter. She will buy sneakers which make her feet look thin, small,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and classy.
A mere glance at the types of sneakers most commonly seen on women feet in Paris is telling: you won see any wide, cushy, comfy-looking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plain vanilla sneakers. You will see small, thin-looking, flat-sole, designer sneakers.
For the very same reasons, a pair of scarpins?by Stephane Kelian or Prada will always be favored over a pair of Pumas. Shoes are a fashion statement, and the more understated it is, the better.
And that another major difference between French and American woman. Understatement is a cardinal rule in French fashion. Anything that is too visible is considered garish. This is why the French little black dress is such a fashion icon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and why Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly will always be remembered as he?American fashionable ladies.
