I live in Toronto/Canada and almost the same; the yoga pants for everyday life or no taste of clothes by most people I see. I have been living here for 24 years and always liked to dress up (elegantly casual) on daily basis. Thanks for your continuous elegance Alice; you make me feel that being graceful is still possible in this flashy and tasteless surroundings we live in.
There are some of us out there in the sea of PJ leggings and yoga pants women.
Wearing workout clothes all day long is a lazy way to go. I work out 5x per week and I usually bring my nicer clothes to change into after the gym. Not always though, because I am lazy too, lol!
I am an older woman from the northeast in the U.S. and I wouldn’t dream of leaving my house to go anywhere in sweats or T-shirts that have words or pictures on them. My generation wouldn’t dream of going to the mail box without makeup and clothing. What has changed my direction is that since the pandemic many dry cleaners have closed and those that are still in business have become ridiculously expensive. So now I tend to buy washable garments that more often tend to lean toward a more casual flair. I agree with you, I miss the careful attention people had for their appearance. They tended to respect each other much better, as well.
I think that goes for every country, clothing seems to be on the casual side all over Europe.
In LA I feel like it’s not very common to put a lot of thought into composing an outfit, casual or not. (It’s very casual out here). I have always been nervous about standing out if I dress with a more polished look or wear colorful items, because being very tall, I stick out even more.
But after I started learning photography I really saw how drab things looked. Time to bring a little more personality out there! 😎
I prefer the subtleness of French style, but Italian fabrics and fashion houses are way better. I would wear Brunello Cucinelli all day every day if I could afford it.
Hello, Brunello is very understated and vey far from the traditional "italian style". Nothing is flashy or dramatic with Brunello. I like Italian style but for me too much is going on. I prefer minimalist silhouette.
I live in Italy, and treasure my few pieces of Loro Piana. I would wear nothing else if I were a millionaire... sadly I would need to be one
@@Aliceinparisofficial Prada, Max Mara, Armani way better than Chanel, LV, Hermes...
I've always loved the understated elegance of French / Parisian Style. Excellent and helpful explanation, Alice. Merci ❤
I enjoy your channel, Alice, but wonder whose UA-cam or Instagrams you show as good examples in this video. We might like to visit their sites too but I don’t see where you gave them credit or list their sites.
I really like the twist ring and the leaf ring.
This is such a good, informative, video. I'm American and it is so true that people go to the grocery store in sweatpants. Back in the 1950s, a woman who went to the grocery store would wear gloves and a hat and high heels, it was considered sloppy to not dress like that to go the the post office or the department store. Your observation that French women over 50 wear clothes better, invest more time in grooming their hair, and dress more elegantly than the younger generation is so interesting.
It's so interesting how you explained that Parisian women are more eccentric and bold whereas in other parts of France, like Bordeaux for example, people will dress more subtly. In Paris, people are more risk taking and the energy is more aggressive and busy, and the fashion reflects boldness and newness. In non-Paris France, people dress in a classic way and defer to tradition. People in Paris are probably exposed to more American and Canadian and British people because Paris has more international residents and they borrow little bits of foreign ideas.
I think your explanation of French style versus Italian style is very comprehensive. In Milan and Rome, women wear very colorful, bold, and striking fashions. Italian women speak more passionately and more loudly, and they wear more bold colors for example like red because red is a more powerful, passionate, loud color. French women wear more black, white, camel, and neutrals, because in their speech when they get mad or upset, they still speak in a very French, quite and calm way. Even the flowers in Italy, like bougainvillea, are hot pink in color, whereas the color palette of the French countryside is very brown, green, and taupe. Versace is a very loud and bold fashion house, but somehow Italian women can put together an outfit with Versace that is very turquoise or orange and make it look Italian chic.
Like you explain in your many videos, French women style comes from within. It comes from her education about La Politesse and ways of interacting at the cafe, the boulangerie, the bureau, the street, in the taxi, about how to be elegant in your speech and manners. It comes from the many books she read or the visits to the art museum to learn about French culture. It comes from her skincare and drinking Evian water and eating lots of fruits and vegetables and keeping an elegant figure. Also, like you explain, French women wear only very well tailored, durable, high quality investment pieces like well made blazers and jeans and blouses and make sure her hair is well groomed and everything works together in an elegant way.
Great video!
Thank you Daniel
For me no other country surpasses France with, not just style in dress, but hair styles, food and their beautiful buildings.
Good morning, I clicked so fast! ❤
I'm glad you mentioned Italian style. I was curious about it. I think both French and Italian styles come down to taking pride in one's appearance. When I see people in Ottawa, Canada, where I live, with big tattoos and torn jeans, I think it's distasteful. Many years ago, people didn't dress that way. My mother and my aunts were always well-groomed.
I very much enjoyed your video. I have watched several videos from the streets of Milan and London. I find them very interesting since I visited both places but only on short trips. I haven't seen any videos of the streets of Paris. I would love to know if there is one. I live in Virginia just across the river from Washington DC.
As a Parisian and a french I disagree with you about the italian style, I would NOT call it 'dramatic', I find this definition as if you somehow despise their style, for me it's bold and more colourful, but very elegant and beautiful and the fabrics are very well made, they have an unique 'savoir faire'.
As one who lives in Italy, I cannot identify 'an Italian style'. Away from the shopping streets of Milan and Rome, with ostentatious designer wear, Italian women dress in a variety of styles. Not always elegant or colourful
Thank you so much Alice , for your channel and the information that you are sharing.
Alice, my 13 yr old was shocked when you said what i said about yoga pants! Now she reserves them more for home and running... mostly
I prefer and love the French style best!
As an American, in general, you’re right. But I will say that you see less people dressed casually in the “fashion cities”, these are cities that have a fashion week and a really large fashion industry, like New York, Los Angeles, Miami (which is what is going to be the trend in any fashion city in any part of the world like Sao Paolo, London, Milan, etc). So it doesn’t quite feel accurate to compare Paris to Boston, because Paris is a fashion city and Boston is not. Better to compare Paris to New York, or something like that.
I absolutely detest that here in America so many women wear athletic wear all the time ! It’s not classy ! We need to take a page out of France and Italy to bring class back to the USA .
Hello Indonesian here 😊 I’ve been living in France for two years sometimes I stay in Paris sometimes south of France and also Spain in my opinion it’s so rare to see someone dressed up like Parisian style what the influencer always say about them 😅 I have French friends and I met a lot of French people for me they’re very simple most of the girls they wear sneakers jeans, shirt with blazer. Even in many occasion, I dressed up too much meanwhile people just look so so simple. I worked in South of Jakarta, jeez all my mates having a real fashion show just even going to a mall for a coffee. Idk, in my experience, French women they are simple and they are not really so chic for what people think all the time, some of them yes but not in general.
I live in Vancouver, and athleisure wear is everywhere, especially by women who have never been near a gym. It's lazy, sloppy, disrespectful, and tacky. There's a culture of "comfort" above all , no matter how inappropriate, and it's a frequent subject of discussion where I work. I feel that self-respect is an issue, when women, and men, don't care how they present themselves, but do think it's a generational thing. I am older, and find that most of the women of my generation are more intentional, better groomed, and overall more appropriate, at least here in Canada. I'm told it's a "European thing" (I'm Irish!) but feel that's a cop-out for DGAF!
I live in a wealthy suburb in the Midwest; IDAF.
My wardrobe for the day is dependent on my schedule. If I have a Pilates or yoga class, I will be wearing leggings. My son's lacrosse game, I am wearing a team shirt and joggers. I wear scrubs to work (nurse). Otherwise I tend to follow CBK aesthetics.
The bottom line is form follows function. I don't worry about what people wear on a daily basis because it has absolutely zero impact on my life.
The problem is the Kardashians. Ruined fashion
I love French style!
Hello Alice. Just out of curiosity, how would you describe the Ines de la Fressange for Uniqlo collections? Is it French style or Parisian? She designed for them for about 10 years. Do you own any of those pieces? Thanks.
So i believe Emily in Paris look is satire. It’s an over exaggerated idea that some American women believe French women dress. Just my thought
I too was raised by a French Maman and taught how to dress in a minimalist but tailored way. My mother was a fabulous dresser. But towards the last years of her life she embraced the “jogging suit”, precursor to ath- leisure wear 😅.
Love your channel and advice. Love your accent too. I miss my Mom and your accent brings back good memories for me. ❤
Let's ask ourselves how much effort men in any country (Italy excepted) put into their appearance; the answer is virtually none. While I agree that we Americans go overboard in terms of casual dress, I'm not sure that we should long for a return to the 1950's or earlier, when women dressed up in part because they were taught that physical beauty was all that they offered the world. Impressing men and getting married were a means of economic survival. Now that we have our own money (and often outearn men in the younger generations), when are they going to start dressing up for us?
I’m American and wonder why so many people here wear those polyester gym clothes all day. I can’t stand those sweaty fabrics, nor do I want to be encased in Spandex all day. I would much rather wear a comfy, wool or cotton knit dress, skirt, trouser or jeans outfit. Aside from the comfort factor, it’s just not my style, I like proper day clothes, not exercise clothes, for being out and about. I have two hoodies in premium fabrics, one silk and one cashmere, and that is my concession to the street style trend. It’s plenty for me.
Emily in Paris montre un peu trop de peau pour etre sophistiqué
Hi, why did you live in the states for 10 years? Why did you stay so long and why did you leave after 10 years?
Hello I studied (MBA) + personal reasons and COVID hit + personal reason = coming back :)
Interesting that for expectation you chose American and for reality Ukrainian girls.
