It occurs to me that I forgot to mention the current Parisian trends, for those interested parties! Here are my observations:
- Have a scarf? No? Quick! Go out and buy one! No Parisian would be caught dead without a scarf to complete their ensembles! I bet each Parisian owns over a dozen scarfs.
Spring's color this year is apparently pink. The stores were packed with the baby pinks. So get your feminine on girls! However, you can never go wrong with black on black on black. Most people were wearing all black on a daily basis with a few colorful accessories to set it off. They definitely didn't seem to worry about it being associated with mourning.- If you are going to get some color, the French fashion dictates perfect matching colors. I mean EXACT same shades of colors! Good luck, trying to get the same shade of red! It was quite impressive, when I saw it done.
Ever wanted to wear colorful pants? Well, now you have an excuse. Even men can get in on this fashion trend! In fact, I mostly saw the men taking advantage...walking around in bright orange or yellow pants. And I promise you they were straight. You can ditch the favored blue, blue jeans and try to be more adventurous this season.
Perhaps the most UNUSUAL trend was the big flappy hat. Some of us thought that that design would be forever delegated to the older generation. But NO! It is back in style! It's a la mode! I saw several young adults sporting these hats.
THE QUESTION IS...
Which fashions do you think will catch on in the U.S.?
Does France still have the fashion influence it used to have?
"I predict that floppy hats and black will catch on. Scarves are already pretty ubiquitous. I have heard a couple of people lately refer disdainfully to "mtachy-matchy" so I don't think.that trend will catch on. Guys in colorful pants?? No way!
