Neutral colours are IN! You must not stand out in a crowd and if you’re a blonde or redhead, be prepared for excessive male attention! Any outfit is completed with a cigarette and if you wear glasses, make sure they’re big and geeky! Ugly Betty style glasses, even with clear glass, are a must for everyone this season! Any hairstyle goes, but if you wear your hair up and have ears that stick out further from your head than you’d like, an alice band is a great accessory to pin back and control those ears!
If you get bored of jeans, then there is always the option of beige trousers which have been sighted on some of the more individual inhabitants of Lyon. Want to ditch trousers altogether? Then shorts are a great option, or a skirt (but make sure it finishes just above the knee at the shortest) but whatever you go for, make sure they’re in a neutral colour like the rest of your outfit and tights MUST be worn, but only in skin-colour or black. Any display of flesh or colour attracts male attention, which is completely unnecessary and unwanted.
Scarves are, of course, obligatory and may be used to brighten up your outfit with an autumnal splash of green or red but most will choose to invest in the goes-with-anything black. This way it matches most of your wardrobe or can provide a nice contrast if you choose to wear beige or white.
But please, whatever you do, avoid bright, solid colours. This is the style of French men who think they are gangsters, and are seen wearing tracksuits, hoodies and baseball caps. It is a look to be avoided at all costs, and as previously mentioned, WILL make men talk to you. And no-one wants that.
