After taking about an hour just sitting at a cafe and snapping pictures of Parisians in their natural habitat, we looked back on our photos for commonalities between them and fashion magazines we've picked up over the weeks (Vogue Paris, Jalouse, and Le Magazine du Monde). Three striking similarities hit us: denim & chambray (left), stripes (center), and cross-body bags (right). These three classic, enduring trends are clearly so in Paris this fall.
Denim will forever be a go to - but not just in jeans anymore. We've seen almost too many people rocking the denim jackets and chambray tops. However one thing we have noticed in Paris is that people appear almost more willing to wear the Canadian Jumpsuit look - AKA denim on denim - here than we've seen as frequently in the States. Weather it's a denim jacket with jeans or a chambray top and denim vest, the Canadian Jumpsuit is surprisingly everywhere.
Stripes are a nautical, Parisian classic - what does one picture about Parisian fashion if not stripes? And this trend is as popular as ever this fall. Designers show it in diagonals and with bright neons on the runways, while we saw the classic black & white horizontal stripes in our street style observations.
Finally the cross-body bag is an obvious go-to for practicality on the Parisian streets, even if some of the audience doesn't wear the long strap across the body and instead down by one side. Small cross-body clutches are definitely in Paris this summer - from Chanel to H&M.
Overall, classics remain classics and practical wear-ability remains practical wear-ability in Paris this season, not unlike in our hometowns across the East and West Coasts of the USA.
