Last year, when I did a Q&A round on Instagram during our first confinement, one of you guys asked me about shorts! Do French girls wear shorts in Paris? If so, which style? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I immediately thought of my own experience wearing shorts in Paris. Lots of stares, a few frowns, and generally feeling like the American<\/em> in Paris, and not so much in a good way! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it\u2019s pushing 90 degrees in the States, most of us throw on our shorts without thinking too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here in Paris, that\u2019s not really the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"French<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I think part of the reason why Parisians aren\u2019t known for wearing shorts is that it rarely gets super hot<\/em> here. Summers are generally mild and shorts aren\u2019t really needed to be comfortable on a daily basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of Paris, that\u2019s another story! I think in the southern regions where it does actually get hot, shorts are much more socially acceptable to wear in public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, many French women wear them to the beach<\/a>, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you\u2019re in a smaller French town in the south and the weather calls for it, then sure you can definitely wear shorts safely! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the only place where I might think twice about it is in<\/em> Paris itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-Waisted Tailored Shorts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You could definitely wear a pair of high-waisted shorts in Paris that have a bit of a wide-leg opening. They might be pleated or tailored. Here are some good options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Anine<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

These Anine Bing Carrie Linen Shorts are made of 100% linen. Buy them at Shopbop<\/a>, Saks<\/a>, or Net-a-porter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"SIR<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The SIR Clemence shorts have little belt loops where you can wear a chic belt. Shop them from Saks<\/a>, Mytheresa<\/a>, or Ssense<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Banana<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The Banana Republic Palma linen shorts are a great budget-friendly option. Shop via BR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Jean Shorts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I own Levi\u2019s jean shorts<\/a> in black, white, and light blue and I definitely take them on vacation with me in France. I just don\u2019t wear them in Paris. I do wear mini skirts<\/a> and beige linen shorts in Paris, however!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you think shorts fit in with French girl summer style<\/a>? What are your thoughts on wearing shorts in Paris or other big cities?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3603,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[219],"tags":[150],"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"French
