Love that, kerouac! I love street fashion photos. Lots of black. Converse sneakers seem pretty popular as well. I would like to see you do another photo essay like this in Spring, before my trip at the end of May.

There will always be tons of black, boots on the ladies, and more jeans than most people would care to admit.
I stopped my fashion threads about two years ago, but I might start again later this year. ;-)

Good grief. All things in perspective. Look nice, dress warm if it is cold, that sort of thing, but don't let a fashion obsession dominate a trip. Too many tourists (sorry to say, mostly women) ruin a trip by wearing 'fashionable' but uncomfortable shoes and clothes.

ooooh boots even in May? i guess that makes sense given the unpredictable rain and cold weather but I was really hoping not to drag my boots with me cuz they're heavy ...
Personally I'm not fashion obsessed but more safety obsessed since this will be my first time travelling alone so I don't want to be such an obvious tourist to the pick-pocketers.

We should all dress how we feel comfortable, and for some they are not comfortable unless they are blending in with the fashion a bit. To each their own. I personally am not going to wear my boots because they aren't comfy enough to walk in all day, not to mention how much room they would take in my luggage. I WISH I could though. I still need to figure out what shoes to bring. I'm kind of thinking my Tom's, and maybe add an insole for extra comfort.

Thank you for this thread. I will leave my Ugg boots at home since this is I had originally planned to wear. The weather and dress in my state is MUCH different than what anyone in Paris would wear. We only have 2 seasons, summer and not so summer. You've saved me some money and a headache. I can say that I wanted to ask what people were wearing but the comments can be so snarky that it makes you not want to post a question.
Anyway, thanks everyone. Loved looking at the pictures and I appreciate the travel report.

If you're coming within the next 2-3 days, you may want to reconsider the uggs!

Uggs can be worn under rather than over the jeans or pants - I'm just saying - if your feet are cold you're not going to be happy. Weather trumps fashion. I think the real message here is we want to feel comfortable traveling, look good, not stick out like a sore thumb, and enjoy where we are without fretting over how we look. And I definately agree, I for one do not want to be pick pocketed because of my obvous tourist appearance. Once was enough! Thanks to everyone who added to the knowledge and conversation.

runnerbee, one year alone in paris in March it was very cold I was so happy in my uggs and I wasn't the only one. You can cuff them to make like a bootie as i wore them with skirts and I tucked my jeans in them.

Great. I have to lose 40lbs before I can go back to Paris if I want to wear skinny pants like those, Mimi!
I'm lucky our vacation this fall will be an African safari. I can stick to the beiges and moss greens and not really worry about boots or scarves or handbags.
