What does one wear in Paris at the end of August?

[Jaamy]

Going to Paris for 3 days, end of Aug with DH who will be working. Since I will be spending the days on my own, wandering around the city, I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb. Any tips on what to wear and, more importantly, what NOT to wear?

Also any tips on where a laydee should go to entertain herself would be very gratefully received. First time in Paris in about 10 years and that was a business trip so didn't get to see much then!

TIA

i think you should wear british national dress - velour pink tracksuit with thong showing and a pair of crocs. if you have time get a tramp stamp.

Nobody who is anyobody is in Paris during August, so it really doesn't matter what you wear.

Nope, no pink velour tracksuit, either. Am I terribly unfashionable?

Ewe - don't think my legs will stand up to white shorts and glads.

Thanks Lynette. I shall have the city to myself. Not best planning I know but that's when DH has to go out and I thought I'd take advantage keep him company.

grab yourself this dress
I just bought one and think it is one of the nicest things I have ever bought. Am wearing white flips flops and tan leather belt. Should keep you nice and cool in the Paris heat.

But you would look v. strange in France in it.

.. I think anyway! Never seen anything like that here and is actually just the sort of thing I meant by ultratrendy.

Looks fairly unforgiving - is it? I am size 8-10 but still wouldn't dare.

trendy? not at all. Just a sundress, dime a dozen in Paris.
not that I am an expert, but I go there every 2 months or so, my best friend lives there (she is from Paris, born and bred and YES, often wears a neck scarf)

not unforgiving, very flattering. Each to their own though.

Well you would know more than me about Paris then

Agree about the neck scarves - they are rife - doesn't mean you have to go for one but you won't look out of place if you really want to !

Glad the dress is good Stargazing - wasn't trying to criticize - it just looked short and low-cut to me and I am bad at wearing things like that.

blimey not at all. Knee length and decent boob coverage. I have fugly knees so short is a massive no no.

especially in paris!!!!

Should have looked better then. Sorry !

Thanks stargazing, however boobage and scaffold-like bras mean I can't wear anything strappy.
