Big news here is that high heels are out for daytime, except for short boots or if you are wearing a skirt suit with a very short skirt. Heels come out at night again with short skirts. Hose and tights are in; bare legs not so much except with sandals. Many colors and textures. But also plain. Even many boots are flats right now.
Every woman, almost, wears a scarf. Rectangular only. All types of fabrics, plain and patterns. Most men also. However, they tie them differently.
Coats are really cute with interesting details. Fabulous collars, belts, embroidery and silk inserts.
Jewelry is either modest (gold, silver, pearls) or big ethnic style pieces.
See a lot of shorts with tights. Many of those who are wearing them shouldn't be.
Lots of patterns in tops and dresses. For juniors, it is small florals and ethnic. For women, more geometric prints, large florals and ethnic. White with horizontal blue striped tops are everywhere.
Color of note is dark melon.
Lots of layering but under layers are generally not longer than outer layers.
Black is always in.
Jeans are skin tight. Vans (shoes) are everywhere. More skirts and dresses than in the states.
Women my age (50’s) wear a lot of blazers/jackets that are very well tailored.
Men’s suits are generally dark blue with subtle external stitching. Lots of purple/lavender ties. White shirts.
Young men wear narrow long jackets, with lots of pockets, with everything.
Very few hats on men or women. Handbags are pretty similar to the U.S. - Big and slouchy with gold trimming. Attractive tote bags (to carry your baguettes).
Speaking of baguettes, time for breakfast.
