If you’re going to the fashion capital of the world, Paris, France, you are probably wondering what to pack in terms of clothing. Of course, nobody will stop you on the street to criticize your clothing, but you definitely might look like a tourist! If you want to look less like a tourist, follow these rules to embrace the Parisian style!

Workout/Loungewear

In the US, and in most other places in the world, it has become acceptable to wear workout clothes or loungewear as casual clothing. This is definitely not the case in Paris. Unless you are really going to work out, try to stay away from the leggings and sweatpants in public!

Really Short Shorts

If you’re visiting Paris in the summer, you might be tempted to pack some super short shorts. Since Parisian style is all about elegance and classic style, you might want to consider other options, like a flowy skirt or more structured shorts. 

Super Baggy Clothing

We know baggy clothing is really popular right now, but Parisians are less about trends and more about tailored, classic clothing looks. Instead of wearing baggy tees or super baggy jeans, aim for something a bit more fitted and structured.
