What I Would Wear If I Lived In Paris

[@renee8959]

As an American who just arrived in Belgium after spending time in Paris, I would suggest bringing a trench coat. I ended up wearing my classic camel trench coat almost every day last week.

[@renee8959]

@Sarah A It's a thinner trench coat. I paired it with light weight tight knit sweaters and turtlenecks. It created a chic look without being too bulky.

[@carleyruane3033]

I second that. I'm an American living in London and the cotton trench is my coat until winter.

[@agnesdp1855]

I would forget the clutch, especially if you plan to use the public transport system or you'll be a prime target for pickpockets. Dont forget to bring a warm layer, power cuts are already planned for October, and most public buildings are keeping temperatures low. French subscriber here, hope you have a great trip and stay safe.

[@2PuppyProductions]

I love the clear way you walked us through creating a base, adding layers in a similar colour then adding variety from there. Love it!

[@milenal.3355]

Hi Audrey, As a former parisian (born and raised, I now live in an other region, still in France) I would suggest you remove the leather jacket and replace with a trench coat. Paris is quite rainy this time of the year and leather doesn't match rain that well. Temperatures can be a little tricky as well however october and november are usually quite cold, and there's been a temperature drop in september already. Therefore you definitely want to ensure your ankles stay warm if your cold sensitive. And a last tip : the outfit with a cap screams "not french" to me. You may want to avoid it, especially in the metro and touristic places. But definitely bring an umbrella :) I hope this helps and I wish you a nice stay !

[@paulafagerberg793]

Re: the ankles-those cropped pants really break up the long lovely line of the leg, which also seems antithetical to the Parisian aesthetic?

[@milenal.3355]

@@paulafagerberg793 no, you can find this style as well. It's more worn by teenagers/young adults though. After 30 you stare and scream internally "cold cold cold cold cold" 😀 But with boots it shouldn't be an issue. Not my personal style, but it's an opinion, not an advice :-)

[@paulafagerberg793]

@@milenal.3355 OK! Seems to me that Parisiennes simply roll up long pants when they want to show ankle/boot instead of having wider crops like these…? But I haven’t been to Paris since just before the pandemic, so your knowledge sounds more au courant!

[@ryeofoatmeal]

yeah the cap looks... a bit funny to me. usually, people wear them on sunny days. defo not raining. umbrella is the way!

[@yifatjovani333]

Nice to hear advice from you, from first hand who lived all her life there 🙂

[@LizzlebyDesign]

Hi Audrey- I just got back from Paris last week, it was rainy/windy, so I would agree with the last comment that a trench coat might be a good choice!. Wide leg, flowy pants were definitely everywhere along with crossbody purses, oversized blazers and lots of textured sweaters. Your shoe choices right on! Enjoy your visit!

[@mariegaellegregory5407]

As a real Parisian, I can say that the outfits are perfect to be worn in the French capital. Discreet and elegant ! Thank you for your work.

As a born-and-raised Parisian who lives in the city I can second some of the comments: your choice of outfits is really nice, the only thing missing is rainproof outerwear.

I'm a parisian, following your channel from France. Nice outfits, you'll look great. We do wear some bright colours too !

[@chrisnapelbaum9483]

Currently in Paris vacationing. Fall varies from rain to sunshine multiple times during the day. Be prepared for anything! Layers, umbrella , trench or waterproof jacket and scarf a must!

[@shirleycoonerty2665]

Ohh I love how you have curated this video! Very clever Ms Audrey!!

[@Lisa_Petrison]

That scarf really changed the look of your outfit dramatically. I think that if I were going to Paris again, I would bring a number of scarves with me since they take almost no room in the suitcase and are worn frequently there.

I’m so glad God made colour! I intend to enjoy not wearing funeral clothes while traveling in Europe in the fall!!😄😄I don’t really care what others think, I love deep red,burnt brown, emerald green, sapphire blue, and many other soft pastel blues and pink in a cashmere sweater!

[@ednawilliams3608]

I'm with you Margaret, all that black needs a touch of red or royal blue or anything that isn't a neutral.

[@LylyHec]

People, just wear what you enjoy. This are suggestions.

[@emmsue1053]

Neutrals cab be a difficult look for some people to wear, black/beiges can drain your complexion BUT pastels can look cheap sometimes. Just wear what you know suits you & is comfortable, I guess?

[@kimjohnson8471]

First! Sunday, coffee, relax, Audrey! ❤️

[@jennifermelville-author]

Hi Audrey! This was so helpful 😊. I am going to Paris very soon as well. I have me suitcase open too and am in the process of figuring out what to bring. I’m keeping a close eye on the weather. I was there in the spring and it was cold sitting at the cafes in the morning. Definitely bringing a warm coat so I can sit back and people watch in comfort

[@yifatjovani333]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I really like your scarf, it adds so much to the outfit!

[@skinnursern5852]

This is timely for me. I am moving to Provence in 2 weeks. It's interesting to see what others bring while vacationing. Bon voyage!

[@nikkisue1715]

This was very helpful. I loved the scarf. You have really influenced me into bringing scarves into my wardrobe. It changes a look so dramatically at times. I agree with some of the other viewers that a trench coat is probably a better option for your outer layer.

[@maricelg777]

Happy Sunday , Audrey 🤍

[@allsquaredup9717]

The first times we went to France and Italy I felt I was sticking out like a sore thumb! Too many colors and not enough neutrals! We might travel to Lithuania this November and although black isn’t my best color I’m sticking to a color scheme of black and grey with pops of purple. Fewer clothes, smarter clothes and layers! 🖤💜

[@laurar.2053]

As a Lithuanian, I confirm neutrals is the way to go.

[@allsquaredup9717]

Thank you!!!

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

[@eleanorbesly9868]

Great advice. I always find that the really basic outfit is the perfect way to begin packing. There are things I will wear over and over, because they are comfortable and smart looking, but if I pack extra things to add to that outfit, I usually don’t need to bring a lot! Loved how the scarf just popped the look! Nothing like a couple of great scarves to bring style to the basics! Thanks for this video, Audrey, and I hope you have a wonderful trip!

The cropped jeans are far too short to be worn with white sneakers. The look cuts the length of the leg.

[@celinegraindorge7806]

[@teresacarle294]

🌟Audrey: Now, without a doubt you look lovely in everything showcased here, esp. the black top w/the 💕sweetheart💕 neckline. 😁Amazing how the simple scarves changed up your looks too, & it makes perfect sense to pack them. Although you didn't particularly strike me as🗼Parisienne〰️you certainly look urban & practical. ❤️Personally, I adore black & dark neutrals (like the charcoal gray jumper). Your leather jackets add drama, & the longer one has a sexy 🎬Matrix flair. Love a cap🧢, but it seems like a wool felt fedora would be much more of a ⭐️showstopper⭐️. Not a fan of the light neutrals you sprinkled in...way too boring💤 in my book 📖. 😡Hate the poufy light beige purse you were clutching for travel purposes😔. It seems so impractical. Being 🖐hands-free to shop & 👀browse makes more sense. Seems like a zippered crossbody tote would work better for walking, gathering 🌈treasures around such a cosmopolitan city, & holding your umbrella🌂. 🧳All the black trousers seem like overkill, & that you would be better served bringing a pair of your beautiful dark🌲 green as well as🍷bordeaux colored trousers w/matching jumpers. 🤩You look so absolutely stunning in those two colors. It seems a shame to leave them behind for the bland beige & white sweaters🤣. ❤️Love your comfy walking boots, your two tone low heeled shoes, & white sneakers. 🤔Although I think you should swap one of your leather jackets for a trench🌧 in either black, olive green, or khaki. Hope you have a ✨️spectacular✨️ holiday! 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

Honestly in all of these outfits you look 100% parisian. Except we usually can’t afford chanel flats. Replace the baseball hat with a beanie!!

[@clp9172]

[@ErinCRN]

Why do people from one country feel the need to assimilate, in regards to attire, to another country when visiting? None of these outfits you’ve picked to take with you look particularly Parisian. I dress for weather, activities, and comfort.

[@milenal.3355]

because there are tons of pickpockets in Paris and you don't want to put a target on your back :)

[@ErinCRN]

@@milenal.3355 so secure your valuables. American does not equate to idiot. Protecting yourself from pickpockets when you travel is just a basic no matter where you are from and where you are going. The moment you open your mouth, the jig is up no matter what you look like.

[@dv7361]

I don’t know, I just like to fit in where possible. Like when I’m in India I wear a lot of Indian outfits but when I’m in Philippines (where I live) I’m mostly in summer dresses

[@jonwiley2592]

If you were listening, Audrey repeatedly mentioned dressing for comfort and ease. She showed only low or no heels and had a lot to say about sneakers since Paris is a walking city. Her video was not about assimilation but wearing outfits that are neutrals and well-planned; guidelines many Americans could do with following. As another viewer opined, that outfit with the ball cap was hideous. Yet I don’t know if I’d wear a beret, either. Too cliche?

[@Surreal452]

What American fashion…? Almost allll the clothes in the US is made in China 😂

[@dori9024]

@@vcr6854 Yes I agree the majority of our American products are manufactured in China especially fast fashion, but yet the style and quality of the fabrics are determined by American designers regarding the price point you want the consumer is willing to pay. Yes it would be great if clothes were manufactured in the United States, but unfortunately China has been attractive to brands from “all over the world” for its huge labor pool and production capacity as well as sophisticated factories and efficient supply chains. Crucially, low wages keep production costs down and thus maximize margin brands, from fast fashion to luxury. And many FRENCH DESIGNERS clothes are “already made in China” . And finally even though China manufactured clothes Americans still have their own chic, sophisticated style that other countries follow. Sorry for turning this fashion video to a political statement, but one must realize it seems politics rules even in our fashion world.

[@vcr6854]

@@dori9024 yes many of the worlds items are made in China. Style and quality is lacking across the board in the states. Too much is being produced, and it’s always overpriced, with most being terrible quality and terrible materials. There’s way too much polyester out here. Unfortunately when people think of American style these days it’s athleisure or some sort of trashy kartrashian trend.
