Tourist attire in Paris.

Would I be out of place if I walked down the street in Paris wearing a muscle shirt, bermuda shirts, black socks, and white Reeboks? Thanks for your help.

Finally, a tourist with some real taste! And if you really don't want to be out of place, wear a Hawaiian shirt over the muscle shirt when it gets a little chilly.

Would respond in more detail, but the thought of such a creature walking down the Parisian streetscape has my fingers all curled up and frozen!!!!!

<BR>What a picture I have of you in my mind!<BR>The shirt must be tiedyed pink<BR>the shorts a red and blue plaid<BR>the socks must be baggy and have the elastic gone from the ankles and must be made of nylon.<BR>the white Reeboks have to be dirty and the shoelaces untied.

I forgot to mention that my muscle shirt has a picture of Stone Cold Steve Austin on the front and "Austin 3:16" on the back. Also, I have a John Deere cap with the bill flipped up that I like to wear on sunny days.

Your choice to opt for the muscle shirt vs. the mesh tank top and gold chains was questionable until you mentioned that the chosen muscle shirt includes the fabulously in vogue Steve Austin.<BR><BR>Your choices are much commended. You must, however, also add a Stars and Stripes bandana around your head. Very tasteful.

Yes, you would look out of place. To fit in, replace the black socks with argyle socks.

I do have some argyle socks I could wear, but would they clash with my pastel madras bermuda shorts?<BR><BR>

If they begin to clash, just zip into a cafe for some coffee and peace talks.

Actually, I bet that a few immigr&eacute; teenagers from the banlieue would be very impressed with the Stone Cold shirt.

Let's not forget the slightly dingey and well-used white cotton handkerchief kept in the back pocket.<BR><BR>Actually, if you take a pair of old dress pants and cut the legs off just above the knees, the resulting Bermuda shorts are far more chi-chi than anything you could buy.<BR><BR>Personally, I like the short black socks-with-sandal look.<BR><BR>This all looks muuuch better if you do a nice comb-over.

Darling,<BR><BR>Where have you been all my life. A man with a sense of humor and a sense of fashion. You will be the hit of Paris. They will be talking about you long after you have left.<BR><BR>Oh Baby Baby how I yearn for you.

Follow-up:<BR><BR>Do they sell Red Man in Paris or do I need to bring my own? How about Moon Pies?

I think that a nice cold Hamms Light in a beer coozie would be a nice touch.<BR><BR>And replace the black socks with some nice over-the-calf striped athletic socks.<BR><BR>On second thought, don't. I'm going to Paris soon and I don't want them to start stopping all Americans at the border.

A fuse in your Reeboks would be very trendy.
