What common clothes to people from France wear?

Answer 1

Clothing in France resembles clothing in other Western countries.

- Casual clothing: trousers (likely blue-jeans), sneakers, T-shirt, sweater, coat/jacket if necessary. Fits most French whatever is their age, gender, income.

- For businessmen and white-collar workers, brown or dark shoes, shirt, tie and suit. Women of the same group may wear a skirt and jacket and a blouse.

- Popular with social estate residents in big cities: sneakers and tracksuits, especially when the brand printed in large characters on it, or is easily recognisable; that group, boys and girls alike, would be nicknamed "Chav" in England. Hooded sweaters are especially widespread in these locations. Sagging pants are also common for males here.

- Older people may wear comfortable clothes, velvet trousers, casual checked shirts, any comfortable jumper/pullover. Women may wear a variety of dresses or modest skirts, blouses and jackets.

A "traditional" outfit could be: a pair of brown shoes, matching socks, velvet trousers, checked pattern shirt, pullover and a flat cap or a dark-blue Basque beret. In folklore dance groups (there a few, but they're not drawing much interest), women tend to wear aprons on top of their blouses, and sometimes laced headdresses.
