[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a pretty good list! My experience is that it is very easy to identify Americans regardless of style (it helps but isn't everything).

Honestly, I would focus on just bringing a SMALL wardrobe and go shopping in France!! They have fabulous clothes!

I have seen that the French tend to wear MORE color in the summer, but still not to the level that we do in the US and it's more focused around one piece and not as bold as in the US.  Winter is definitely more neutral with pops of color in accessories.  [b]French women focus on their skin more than in the US as part of their overall health[/b] and their products are extremely good quality and available at the pharmacies therefore, wear very light make-up and don't do their hair really stylized or anything.  I'm planning to get some new skin products while I'm there this summer! [/quote]

I hope this is sarcasm.  The majority smoke and worship the sun, their skin reflects it.  The way they dress in urban areas is great, and they tend to be pretty slim (thanks cigarettes), but they often look older than the corresponding average (urban) American.[/quote]

Why the ugliness?? Totally unnecessary.  No, it's not a joke that there are quality and affordable skin care products available at pharmacies.  Many people do smoke of course (which is gross) but my experience with the French has been that they do focus on overall skin care and aging gracefully vs. this hyper fixation on youth that exists in the US.

If you are going to France...you simply go to a pharmacy and ask about skin products and they will provide specific recommendations for your own skin.  The products are typically MUCH more affordable and better quality than what is often available in the US, so there might be others who are interested in doing this....[/quote]
