20 years ago Paris was cool/cold in June. That is no longer the norm with global warming.

You just made all of this up.

DP- Just got back from Paris and it was chilly. I don’t know what the recent average highs are for early June but it was definitely not warm .

Oh, and just about everyone was wearing sneakers. Just not super clunky athletic shoes .

Seriously, this is my response to about 70% of what’s posted on DCUM.

Wear dark colors. The French prefer navy. Nothing garish or bright and dark shoes - black, dark grey, navy.

You want to be a tasteful part of Paris not stand out like a pig's ear.

You have no idea what current fashion trends are. Go back to 1989.

Oh, the joys of the school summer vacation. Guess what kiddo - we wear what we like.

Just wear Vejas or Sambas or even converse high tops.

Do not wear leather boots in June.

As a fellow Floridian - OP didn't seem to be asking what is fashionable and will trick people into believing she is Parisian. But living in this hot hot climate you really do sort of forget how to dress for other weather. Very cold weather, it's obvious; very hot weather, we've got that covered.

But those middle temp days - when it's 50-70. Sometimes that feels really hot; sometimes it feels really cold. And since we live in SUCH a different climate, you just don't know. That's why she's asking.

I'd think of Blundstones and jeans in that weather then end up sweltering when it turns out to be a humid 65. I went to California a couple of summers ago and brought lightweight clothes - and froze my tail off, even though it was about those temps. It's just hard to know! So she's asking for help.
