[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vans shoes and Eastpak backpacks.

I'm not kidding.[/quote]

Yep. Agree.  Just got back and the French of all ages were wearing very casual and comfortable clothing including white sneakers, Vans, backpacks (Eastpack and Fjallraven most common) and simple t-shirts. It is not unusual to see French men now wearing the uber-typical American ball caps.

We were not in Paris but in several other cities in the south of France and that's what we saw. When I went clothes shopping locally the popular item for women seemed to be solid color t-shirts made of linen. They were flying off the shelves. There were a few bold prints mixed in there and there, kind of 60s style. Eyelet cotton and crocheted/lacy tops were also big. Small cross-body bags or fanny-packs worn cross body were common - no real discernable name brands. Another popular trend seemed to be metallic leather in various colors.

TBH, the American women I saw were obvious for being well, obvious. They looked like they were trying too hard trying to fit some kind of Instagram image. Flowery dresses with hats and wedge or strappy sandals. Overdone hair and makeup. [/quote]

I do a bold lip when traveling because I look really washed out in photos otherwise. I have dark hair and olive skin. All the Europeans (multiple countries) assume I am from Spain, not the US. Haha![/quote]
