Are leggings acceptable streetwear in Paris these days? Thank you!
No one will arrest you for wearing leggings ;)
Paris gets millions of tourists every year - many of them wear leggings and have a great trip.
If you are comfortable and feel good - wear them!
But if you are concerned with looking "chic", there is a good video on styling leggings: https://youtu.be/dWWSFpUS0gM?si=SGw8LxZE_LUsT1eW
There is no fashion police in Paris. Not So Blonde is a Youtube channel that asks interesting looking people in Paris what they are wearing. It is quite a good channel not only for the people being interviewed but to see what random people walking around behind them and not being interviewed are wearing, which will help you see people in Paris wearing all sorts of things that supposedly are never worn in Paris. Here is their latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiY3qNHDWeo&t=12s. There is someone in this video being interviewed who is wearing a green t-shirt, yoga pants (leggings) and boots.
The days of Parisians being fashion police are long gone.
Not a soul will care about you wearing leggings.
Thank you all.
That Gemma in the what to wear videos could say just about anything and Americans would go along with it because of her British accent. :-)
