I always feel Parisian style is a bit more individualistic then American style.
Stripes and berets are a stereotypical fashion go to when trying to look French, and although berets may not be trending stripes were seen all over the city. Here they are mixed with camaflouge for a more sporty look. I snapped this outside the Telfar show and if you want to don stripes you would be in good company as this super styling fashionista Airik Prince is an actual stylist.
Paris it is more about expressing your individual style. That said Parisians do indeed follow trends
From vintage hats to coats and even head to toe vintage inspired looks, the retro trend was quite popular
One of the ways individuality was expressed while also being a definite trend, was the retro trend and in particular the mid-century retro trend. I saw this quite a bit in Paris, I did not see this much at all in New York. From vintage hats, to coats, and even head to toe vintage inspired looks, the retro trend was quite popular. It may be due to Europeans being a bit more woke, when it comes to the impact that fast fashion has on the environment.
[bigletter]These two young ladies created quite the frenzy with the photogs. Miki and I (from Miki Ala Mode) traveled with them from the Mannish Aurora presentation to the Palais de Tokyo, and as we approached the main square a gaggle of street photogs rushed towards us cameras snapping at breakneck pace. Whoah, feeling like a Kardashian there for a moment. Miki and I looked at each other and were like, “Um, they are interested in them, not us” And with style like this it is not surprising. Here they are blending two trends together seamlessly: the retro trend, and the neon trend. Plus, they carried the neon trend over to their makeup. Parisians like to keep their makeup minimal; here it is minimal but also striking and attention getting. A great way to make a statement for sure.[/bigletter]

So many interesting takes on fashion.. love the neon eye liner.
Wow, such amazing trends, I fell in love with all of them. Can’t wait for a graphic season filled an explosion of colors.
I can see why that gaggle of street photographers went wild over those two young women in that last photo! The complementary contrast of the beautiful pink and blue outfits combined with the fabulous winged neon eyeshadows is true art. I also really love the outfit with the vintage hat and the vintage coat with the embroidered yoke in the left hand photo immediately above the pink and blue OOTDs.
Parisian stye is amazing! Love all this inspirational images.

What a fun trip to take and I think it would be awesome to be rushed by photographers! I’d hide my face (which is all I want to do when a camera is pointed at it anyway) and turn away just like it was commonplace for me and I was sick of it 😛 I love seeing trends from different parts of the world. I think I’m more into Italian style but it’s great to keep an eye on everything. I have a sister-in-law who travels a lot for work and she’s always taking pictures of fashion where she is and sending it to me. It’s probably time to do a post based on one of those photos…..

I totally agree that Parisian style is more individualistic as well. You definitely people doing their own thing. I feel like they wear more color as well.
I totally agree- Parisian style is more tailored to the individual, or allows the individual more self expression, than American style. And it’s awesome + inspiring!

I have similar thoughts about Parisian style, very creative and individual. Amazing and inspiring pictures!

The neon trend is really something that should never go out of style IMO:D Thanks for another inspiring post, Allie:) I do find the French will always have that certain “je ne sais quoi” that is just in their blood!
I actually love the fact that Paris style leans more towards individual creativity instead of following trends. Beautofully written post, Allie!
It was so interesting to read about your vision of street style during Paris fashion week.
I love the retro style and the neons make up of theses 2 girls is stunning !

I think it’s ok to follow trends but make them your own. I love that most about Parisian style 🙂

Parisian style really does seem more personal than American style. I am so impressed with how they even make a vintage look their own (like with the neon). Beautiful!

It looks like the French definitely take fashion seriously. But in a fun way. ?–Wow, with eyeliner like that you’re just asking for attention!
I just heard that a lot of the fast fashion uses clothes made from a polyester/cotton blend that’s actually much harder to repurpose. The retro look’s more woke for sure!
How can you not just die at the beauty of neon eyeliner. I must say I don’t know if I can pull it off but I must try! Those women look fabulous.

Everyone looks fantastic, I love seeing style from all over the world and when it’s so individual, even better!! Love these shots x
Sounds like such an amazing experience and a learning one at that! I can see why the two ladies garnered so much attention! They look fabulous!

I love seeing how people really put their own twist on outfits for fashion weeks and you’re right, these attendees are so stylish! I think that the vintage touch is nice too – I’m definitely trying to buy second hand more often!
Hope that your week has been good and you have a nice weekend ahead of you! There’s a lot of smoke again around here but we are safe from the bushfires.
Nice post 🙂

It must be fascinating to both see and capture these new and emerging trends first hand on the streets in between shows 🙂 The neon eyeliner isn’t something I’ll be trying anytime soon, but I lOVE to see others wear the bold style!

All of these street style photos are beautiful and I loved reading your thoughts on trends in Paris fashion compared to in the US! It’s nice to see people put their own unique style to a trend.

I love to see that people is aware of circular fashion, vintage options are the best and definitely the coolest option when you want something different and go beyond the fast fashion stores.
I also love to see hats and vibrant colors are here to stay! My aim is to risk and go beyond with color this upcoming season!
Great photos and a peek into Parisian trends now. I love the neon highlighter on those ladies – striking and gorgeous! I’d definitely get retro pieces since it’s my style as well. Even now I gravitate towards midi dresses and retro cuts so I’d fit in!
