How to avoid looking like a tourist in Paris? What to wear in Europe? Follow our advice on the things you should not wear in Paris if you don't want to stick out like a sore thumb! The Paris dress code is not at all overwhelming, we're not saying you have to completely embody the Parisian style and dress like a Parisian - there are just a few practical tips to follow.
This video was inspired by Charli's blog post "How To Dress in Paris to Fit in with the Locals": frenchyet.com/how-to-dress-in-...
'Your ticket is booked, your plans made, all that’s left is packing. So what do you wear around Paris if you don’t want to scream “tourist”? Before you start packing, learn the Dos and Don’ts of dressing in Paris for both men and women.
In France, dressing nicely is considered good manners, but not looking like a tourist is also a practical matter in Paris. The more you fit in, the less of a target you’ll be for scammers, pickpockets and people trying to sell you stuff you don’t want. It will also save you being stared at by disapproving locals in restaurants. You will get better service wherever you go if you are dressed according to French custom.'

I was just there and I completely agree. It felt no different than being in any major American city as far as the way people were dressing. Some were very casual and some were dressed up.

The main reason why people want to dress like locals is because they dont want to stand out too much. Usually those people who clearly look like tourists can be for example pick pocketed more easily.

I'd lived in Paris for years until graduation and to be honest I've never considered tourists as unelegant people. On the contrary, whenever I saw beautiful and well-dressed guys in the street, I realized they were tourists. Maybe the video's message is "Try to be as simple as you can" :)

[@lilychu8912]

As an American, I think you're always going to stick out. But there are things one can do to respect the city/ country/ culture. Keep in mind that I'm middle-aged (though I look younger) and my style goes between classic and bohemian depending on the circumstance so someone with entirely different tastes might think differently. 1. More than anything you wear, try to speak the language even just a little. They'll automatically know you're not local but almost everyone I encountered treated me better for trying. In some cases, the person ahead or behind me who didn't try got worse service. After hearing me speak, they'd switch to English! I found Parisians to be friendly and people would offer me help spontaneously if I looked confused or opened my map. One shopkeeper gave me a souvenir for talking to him about a city he wanted to visit in the US where I had lived and a baker chased me down to street to return my change when I messed up giving her more. 2. Wear what you wear with pride/ confidence but not arrogance. The city was great for people watching and people wearing the most interesting clothes would walk by with grace. Perhaps a person wearing the same clothes with head down, shoulders slumped, etc. would look awkward but the confidence with which clothes were worn really stood out. 3. Bring neutral colored clothes in classic cuts. (For examples of classic, look at styles like Audrey Hepburn, Francois Hardy, Grace Kelly, Ralph Lauren, etc.) Neutral= black, white, navy, brown, grey, olive. Stick to 1-2 neutrals and accessorize with a colorful costume jewelry, belts, hats, or -- a Euro favorite - scarves. Think about texture and fabric as well: linen for summer, wool for winter, etc. Bringing simple clothes and using accessories also helps cut down on what you need to pack as you can mix and match things easier. (Another way to lessen clothes needed: find and use a laundry nearby and/or bring items you can launder by hand easily and dry in your bathroom.) 4. Bring comfortable shoes. I find if I cannot walk comfortably, I'm going to feel awkward and that doesn't help the way I carry myself. Neutral colored simple, comfortable sneakers like Keds or -- for the opposite effect - Converse are fine. Sandals in leather and classic styles - e.g. gladiator - are good. Do enjoy yourself and don't let others' impressions affect you too much. If anything, steal the confidence Parisians have about having their own personal style no matter their budget.

[@nltcraze]

Thank you. Great tips

[@NathanaelleD]

Mhhh I get your vision but if woman in paris avoid the "too sexy" look it is because we get catcalled all the time. I don't live in Paris anymore but everytime I visit I get a new story... All in All I would say wear whatever you want, be your own brilliant self and don't care too much about anything but how you feel in your clothes

[@NathanaelleD]

@Ruth Rajan I totally get that, but I also think we grow up thinking if I wear something a little sexy I'll get in trouble, my first memory of being catcalled, I was quite young, wearing a long dress in summer, to be honest so it printed in my mind.

[@mleecv]

Oh my, this is so true. I'm from Brazil, and we are used to showing a little skin or to wearing short skirts etc. It's cultural. However, I really had to adapt my style during the 3 years I lived in Paris due to some pretty agressive catcalling incidents. Once I was followed home by three gigantic men saying the nastiest things behind me, I was so afraid! Thankfully I was saved by some lovely neighboors who were also getting home.

There are so many much more interesting fashion styles in Paris and in the rest of France. Also saying sportswear can't be worn outside of the gym is absolutely false! Athleisure wear is worn by so many people in Paris (1er arrondissement included.) I also disagree with what you said about acrylic nails, a lot of women get them because they're easier to maintain. (What IS true though is the fact that Uggs are awful and should not be worn by anyone ever)

If you are visiting another country, you have to think about your safety as well so just don’t dress or look like a potential victim.

Just a little point for men you forgot to mention: Bermuda shorts and board shorts (any above-the-knee colourful shorts) are usually a dead giveaway that you're a tourist. French men do not wear shorts at all typically. Sometimes, cargo shorts (below the knee, un-colourful shorts) are worn by French men but they are seen as unfashionable themselves. Also some very avant-garde dressers might go for a bold short-short but thats not at all common either.

[@Yo-er6no]

When it is really hot I can assure you a lot of people wear shorts but they are usually around 20s maybe 30s but it is true that older frenchman don't really do that unless they are themselves tourists. It is probably because you are not supposed to go to work in shorts, it is not serious

Bonjour. I've been living in Paris since 2015 and some of the things you spoke about do not apply as a general "rule". Like being casual, true with my french friends, we all dress similar and practical when running errands. The one thing I was surprised by when I first came to Paris years ago, is the relaxed and somewhat unmatched style of many Parisians. Its as though they through whatever on and it works! On another note, I do love that women like to dress elegant when going out at night. Not too exposed but rather ladylike.

A part, une fois ou il y avait un couple de touriste avec beret rouge, marinière, rouge a lèvre bien rouge pour madame eeeeeeeeeet une baguette de pain chacun, trop trop mignon ! Pour les chaussures, je connais beaucoup de femmes qui ont des ballerines pliables dans leur sac et qui change de chaussures une fois arrivé au lieu de rendez-vous pour mettre de beau talon fin et haut ! Pour les bijoux je suis tout a fait d'accord et c'est dommage, je suis bijoutière et il est difficile de proposer quelque chose d'un peu plus créatif ! Et pour le fait de porter un pantalon "normal" même pour les courses, cela me semble teeeeeeeellement evident que j'ai mis un peu de temps ! Mon cheri qui est jardinier fait souvant les courses en tenu de travail car il ne repasse pas par la maison avant, et même ça, ca parait parfois franchement limite, les gens le devisage ! en tout cas merci pour cette video ! j'adore voir comment nous sommes perçu de l'exterieur !

Perfect advice! I work for an American national retailer and a large percentage of my clientele are preparing for tourist travel, anywhere in this world, adventure and inner city. They'll often come in with their packing lists and prepare the same for Paris, Tokyo, 'New Guinea, Kilamanjaro', etc. Why is a Disney trip prepped for in the same way as a college visit to NYC or the Grand Canyon? Your advice is on point! For any destination. While it is great to be American and from NYC, it is not ideal to be immediately identifiable as that, when traveling. You are correct that one is less vulnerable in a tourist setting, when dressed stylishly and with a nod to the local culture. Thanks for the St. James tip! The company I work for is also famous for the French Sailor Shirt, but to know what the original inspiration was is a treat! You two have both got a new fan!

I've been living in Paris for a little over 6 months now and the typical parisian style is the kind of style I had before moving here which makes me fit in but if I go to buy some groceries I usually wear yoga pants but that didn't stop French people to ask me for directions or to assume I'm from here. I think it also really depends on other factors as well. For example because I live here I usually walk around by myself (Tourists usually come in groups) and I walk fast and determined. I know the area and I know where I wanna go

Well, at the beginning of this video, they already said that this video is for people want to "blending in" with Parisian, and not want to be look like a tourist, and this video is not for people who like wear whatever you like. Also, Parisian do not try to be safe, it's just how they "love" to dress. It didn't mean that they are all look like clones, that they are not creative or not confident or not themself. Their clothes or makeup looks very natural, they don't put any effort to be a " show off ". Nobody put a rule on you about how you should wear. If they want to be look classic and elegant, then they dress like that. 2019 or 2020 then what, you can't wear in old fashioned way ?

Well done with your description of French style 👌👏 it obviously depends on one's personal taste but I think it suits the general population quite well :)

My French great-grandmother used to say, in English, "The whisper of a promise is more alluring than a boldly stated fact". That was passed on to all the women in the family line. It's the mystery that enchants. Putting your wares on display makes you look more like a street-walker than an appealing, interesting woman.

[@izabelezyleify]

that is so judgemental, it's not more alluring, who cares if someone is showing their cleavage, and this is coming from someone who dresses quite modestly, let people live their lives.

I decided I was not going to dress "French",I was going to dress comfortable. "To much stress", I said. Well...when I arrived, I was surprised to see Parisian Women wear Nike sport shoes with Dresses, and wear sport clothes(leggings) T-shirts with Logos on the front, walking everywhere in Paris. Anytime of the day and night. At Coffee Shops, Restaurants, Airplanes, Trains and the even at the famous shopping malls. All of them speaking French, that's how I knew. I did not see one White Blouse! lol.So ladies don't stress. Jeans, T-shirts, Nikes etc. are OK."WEAR YOU" and what's good for YOU. By the way, it was Fashion Week. :)

If one IS a tourist anywhere, why should one try to hide it ?

[@sparkybish]

@Tom Lopez and perhaps they are stupid, so the helpful thing to do is answer her question. A valid reason to avoid looking like a tourist is that people actively try to take advantage of tourists, not only in France, but wherever you may be visiting.

[@Luubelaar]

Because people on holidays tend not to be as observant as locals and you won't notice the person picking your pocket or stealing from your bag/backpack until it's too late. And the pickpocket will know you've got stuff/money because you're on holidays. If you stand out as "I'm not a local", you're a target.

[@037016]

@Tom Lopez La fortaleza de tu agravio demuestra la debilidad de tu argumento, o mejor dicho, falta total de este ultimo. Good day to you!

[@jakeryan4545]

They gave a bunch of examples: Trying to be a good guest (not being offensive by going into a store with yoga pants, which would not be offensive at all in the USA); to not get scammed because I think anywhere with lots of tourists, scammers will target tourists vs locals; and I would think this is tied to the not being offensive, but they said people treat you better when you blend in.

[@aracelichely2954]

Te contesto con todo respeto que si haces esa pregunta entonces no te has informado bien de por qué el ser turista puede tener más aspectos negativos que positivos. No sé si has viajado mucho o te has informado antes de viajar pero una razón muy fuerte para no parecer turista es que eres más propensos a evitar robos y estafas, si tú luces a simple vista como un turista estás en la mira de la gente que se aprovecha de tu ignorancia/emoción etc en un lugar que es nuevo para ti. La gente se da cuenta cuando eres un turista cuando hablas con ellos (por el acento etc), no sé por qué razón o beneficio la gente quisiera lucir como un turista, pero en fin. Saludos.

I am also an anglophone ex-pat, I have been living in Paris since 2000, and I've found that almost everything Rosie says is right on.

Gorgeous top! As much as les Français object to or deride your recommendations as bobo and elitist, I can say from experience that my first time in Paris, I dressed like an American and was harassed by every scammer and drageur in the 75, I kid you not. Next trip I did my homework and did my absolute best to blend in. The difference in how I was treated was incredible. I was even able to talk my way out of une amende on the RER. (Still my greatest accomplishment to date.) But yes, even more than clothing, speaking quietly and not smiling all the time make a huge difference in perception as well.

Really appreciate you trying to educate Americans or tourists visiting Paris but in my opinion you'd be far more helpful toward people by stating the truth which no magazine/online websites want to state (because issues on "parisiennes", parisian chic blabla sell a lot obviously): most people (even in Paris, let alone Province) wear casual jeans and that's it. In fancy districts they'll wear classier for some, in trendy districts they'll wear more fashion-forward, but these are minority in the global population. French elegance is a thing of the past mostly, and I hope one day the magazines from all over the world will stop reinforcing that image. So no pressure guys and enjoy the good food and wine, that is very much still true :)

[@Queenofobscurepairings]

I agree! As always dress as I stepped out of a gothic novel, with a bit of modern twist to it. So don't look like I have a custom on. It looks like Edwardian/Victorian meets modern.

[@ordinosaurs]

Regarding photography, I'm French and I sometime walk in Paris taking pictures with a rather heavy camera myself, so a couple words on the subject. First, avoid obvious camera bags ; they make you a target (as well as being a fashion faux pas). Better buy photo inserts and paddings on Amazon to fit a nondescript courrier bag or something urban looking like a peak design bag. The best bag for expensive gear is, no joke, the baby nappies bag if you have a toddler around for the play pretend part. No one is going to steal used nappies. Second, master the French shoulder shrug and death stare to discourage scamer attempts. And third, avoid being trapped in a tourist pack. If you're going to obvious tourists spots, they've been already pictured millions of time by talented people and many images are for sale or online already, and many times from vantage points that are inaccessible to you. So refrain from shooting everything, and rather go for less obvious places dressed in everyday business wear, with a couple other people at most tagging along. Lastly, don't forget you're not supposed to shoot people even in public, we have very strong privacy laws and it can be really frown upon to stick a huge lens in the nose of a stranger.

[@chlore2amine]

Il n'est pas interdit de photographier les gens du moment que c'est dans un lieu public. Ce qui est interdit c'est de publier la photo sans leur accord et encore cela dépend des circonstances de la photo : un gros plan sur une personne n'est pas la même chose qu'une foule. Faut arrêter de propager des légendes urbaines.

[@ordinosaurs]

@@chlore2amine : le droit à l'image est un droit fantôme qui résulte exclusivement de la jurisprudence, laquelle est par définition évolutive. Actuellement, en dehors de la captation de l'image à proprement parler, et sauf quelques exceptions, tout usage de l'image d'une personne identifiable, sujet principal de la photo, sans accord génère a minima une reponsabilité civile sur le fondement de l'art. 9 C. civ. ; en ce qui concerne la captation de l'image elle-même, si elle est opérée dans un lieu privé, c'est de surcroît une faute pénale. Selon la jurisprudence actuelle, la simple captation de l'image d'une personne dans un lieu public est donc en théorie possible, cependant cela exclu la réutilisation sur instagram, twitter, facebook et globalement tout autre support public ou semi-public en dehors du visionnage dans le cercle familial. Sous réserve d'une extension à venir, car actuellement ce qui a manqué, c'est moins la volonté des juges que la preuve d'un préjudice et du lien de causalité avec la photographie pour fonder une réparation sur la base de l'art. 1240 C. civ.

[@Ckawauchi35]

Thanks for the valuable tips. One of the main reasons we are doing a French river cruise this time is my avid desire to photograph more of France. I will have that camera around my neck no matter what, although I do not like carrying a camera bag anyway. Just bringing 2 lenses inside my regular cross-body bag at the most. I am kind of irritated to hear of all these things I should not wear or do to avoid looking like a tourist. These French, they seem to be a bunch of arrogant snobs. Tourists bring in tons of money to their country and help their economy, so as long as the tourists behave in a decent, respectful way, why are they being looked down upon? I like that French women like to look natural, and I do not dress like any of the things the 2 KZbinrs mentioned except for the UGGS and beret, which I love. But the French should also demonstrate more tolerance. They are not even humbled or flattered that tourists admire their country and visit w their loaded pockets bc French are such snobs. It is more comfortable to be a tourist in the States than Europe, actually, bc USA provides them more friendly, safe and convenient accommodations, I believe. What do you think?

I don't understand why you would avoid looking like what you are. You are a tourist, you are from another country, so unless its a risk to your safety looking anything but having a direct bloodline, do you! It's not like they are going to be any less rude when you open your mouth and realise that you're not French anyway. I love Paris and other parts of Europe and i think that fact that you slightly stand out is a topic for conversation as people want to know where you are from. Also, i'm not sure if this is an age thing or maybe its a class thing, but i have seen many people in "sportswear" in Paris especially with the youth and also that all of the hi fashion brands looks are streetwear based. This was an odd video.

[@LauraMorland]

I disagree that it's an "odd" video -- as Rosie [ +Not Even French ] stated at the outset, it's advice for people who don't want to stick out. If you don't mind being pegged as a tourist from 30 feet away, then "you be you," as she said. On the contrary, Rosie and Charlie are giving excellent advice for those who care to hear it. I'm an American living in Paris for over a dozen years, and I must say that you can tell when the American tourists arrive (sometime in the Spring): after several months of living among Parisians, you suddenly notice badly dressed people sprouting up all over! P.S. The following sentence shows that you must not know Paris very well: "It's not like they are going to be any less rude when you open your mouth...." Parisian "rudeness" is a canard, like "aloof" Siamese cats: both are false stereotypes that keep perpetuating themselves.

@@LauraMorland Okay Laura, i think this is where we are going to have an issue. If i have found my experience with Parisians to be rude, how are you to try and dispel that by telling me that" i must not know Paris very well" because of my experience? You could say that you have not found that to be the case whilst being there and that would be fair enough. Thats like telling someone that they haven't experienced racism or sexism because you haven't. Also, who cares if there suddenly badly dressed people sprouting up all over. This sounds less about advice and more and more about ruining the precious image of your beloved Paris. Are you not also giving the impression that Americans are badly dressed.

Sandra Boyce I totally agree with you!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@@sandraboyce4817 Many people care if there is badly dressed people in our cities in Europe. It's called pride and it detracts from the beauty and elegance of a gorgeous city like Paris to see pot bellied Americans going around in sportswear and running shoes. When in Rome... And many (not all of course) Americans are badly dressed when they come here, you can spot them a mile away. It's just how it is and we have a right to expect people to dress appropriately.

[@sandraboyce4817]

@@greenknitter Okay , if "badly dressed" people distract from the beauty and "elegance" of a city than you clearly are not going there for the culture, architecture and many other things you visit other countries to experience. Im sure there are many people like you, but i think that there are many people who maybe are not that shallow. I like what i consider to be nice things, but i also know that everybody not only doesn't have the same taste but might not also be in the same financial situation as i am and that wouldn't take away the experience of exploring another environment. Nice people wear what could be considered (to some) bad taste in clothes and others not much money, does it make them bad people These responses are sounding real shallow to me, so can i ask if anyone has the same opinion that they don't feel the need to reply to me because I'm really not here for it. I think that i will have to skip my annual vacation to Paris. If i had know that people there were so judgmental about fashion choices, i dread to think what they have to say about other races invading their beautiful, gorgeous and elegant city

Wonderful advice ladies! Really appreciate it!

When I’m a tourist in Paris I don’t mind looking like a tourist in Paris because I am a tourist in Paris.

[@areemetz07]

I saw a lot of young men wearing sportswear like joggers and hoodies, so idk about the staunch anti-athleisure. When I'm traveling in the summer--Europe or Asia--I basically live in solid-color leggings/jeggings with dresses and tunics with strappy sandals or nicer sneakers/chucks...MAYBE a cropped pant if it's cooler. From what I've seen that's pretty common in Paris 🤷‍♀️ maybe I can't tell a french-speaking tourist from a Parisienne. I will say in colder weather I prefer jeans with ankle boots and sweaters or button-up blouses with a jacket in Europe. But in the summer...gosh, there's not a ton of AC in Paris in the summer so I definitely prioritize comfort over style. Maybe that says je suis americaine... 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ maybe I don't care lol

[@arhcoeur4683]

Honestly leggings are not fashionly acceptable in Paris or anywhere in France. Only girls from the poorer parts of the city wear theam (they are considered vulgar). As for legging with dresses/tunic, I am sorry but you must have been confused. No French woman (even the poorest or the least interested by fashion) would wear this combo. As for men wearing hoodies... They are generally also from the poorer part of the city and have their own style.

It is "not even French"..rather more not even Parisian ..so bourgeoisie-oriented channel

Cette chaîne devient trop snob !

Her very point.. listen to yourselves..typical French response

Love this! Thank you

Be respectful and polite, and not loud. But I think this is an universal tule for every country you visit. It is not about the outfits, but all about one’s attitude. am from Belgium and we welcome tourists!
