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.

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 .

Have not seen sandals.

I'm not going to Paris aside from a few hours after landing, going to see family in a small town. Just wondering about practical not totally awful choices for the weather which is going to suck a bit! So far planning on Converse mid tops, New Balance neutral sneakers and a pair of flats.

Why do they have to be white?

NP. They do not need to be white. Wear what ever goes with your outfit. I wore grey sneakers the last time. Paris is cosmopolitan like NYC. No one will care, you will still look like a tourist anyways.

They used to say sneakers made Americans stand out. My in-laws are French living in France. Last year when we were there, all they wore were sneakers.
