They'll be very friendly unless you're Jewish

I lived their 10 years, people were so nice to me and never felt unsafe, so many stereotypes

I don’t like a lot of KZfaqrs, but I’ve watched almost everyone of her videos!! I have notes on them for when I go shopping in Paris at the end of the month. 😂😂😂 She delivers so much information without being snotty, she’s just like this is it!! I love she doesn’t love designer brands!! Her great bags video that are French made and but not designer! I love it!! So helpful!!

When we arrived back to the US from Paris and was deplaning, a fellow traveler wished me a good time while here visiting. It took everything in me to not respond merci. 😆 I love Parisian style!

True

Wow and they say the US isn’t safe but we don’t have to sew our money in our clothes like it’s 1600z

I was robbed in my own country. never in vacation. Wear what ever you want ( mybe not high for the cubble stones)just be aware of your surraoundings. And put your valuable tings in your deepest zip pocket. Anyway we can tell by accent if you from europe or not or tourist or not. And Europe is safe just pick pocket is an issue sometimes.

i think both can simultaneously be true. it might not be tourists fault but it’s still smart to know the danger and try to evade it

2024 the cost of living is insane. People are desperate. New York and London are just as dangerous like all major cities in economic downturns. This is just smart advice. I’m a Brit and wouldn’t go to London rn for anything!

Since I was a little girl, my coaches and even my parents would advice us kids, to wear comforatble, classic pieces; in fact, we were encouraged to go clothes shoping with the adults and see what they chose and we'd imitate something similar from the children's section. From clothing, to shoes, to minimal jewelry (girls), electronics (boys), perfumes to even which bag each group should wear without getting any attention. The boys hated men's fragance, so they chose a non-gender neutral body wash for everyday. Each group had and still has their own Go-Go-Bag, in other words, one suitcase, one tote bag with zipper, no more, no less than what you can carry. This is useful espcially if parents wish to travel with their childen and they get agitated having to carry heavy stuff. Now a days there are mini inflatable pillows, mini foldable blankets, something to use on the plane or off the plane. There are minimal ways to hide your credit cards and cash if you dont want to carry a million things while traveling through the busy airport or the streets of country you are visiting. It's a matter of looking up those minimal items online.

Save yourself money and go for niche or lesser known brands. Alice is a fashionista so I presume her world revolves around all fashion; I imagine she might accessorize with high end items when attending really nice social gatherings rather than just walking from point A to Point B in Paris…. For us folks looking to make the most of what we have, keep it simple. Unless you want to splurge! Then go for it!

You can wear those bags if you want but just be aware of your surroundings

Well, as she pointed out, it depends on whether you want to get robbed or not. Hey, it's your choice. If you wear a hand-held bag, the thing is to carry it in front of you, not at the side. Thieves tend to run up from behind; it's hard for them to grab something that they can't see. For myself, when I'm walking around, I don't carry anything more than I absolutely need, so a wrist bag or a small clutch is enough. Carry it in front of you. I don't attract thieves; maybe they think a small bag isn't worth stealing.

It depends how it is wear. Arou d the waist scream tourists

or Norway xD

You will be definetly be robbed, as you look fine af

I never wear my good jewelry either. I switch it out for things that are cheaper in case I should lose it or get robbed. Like she says about wearing the expensive logos, it draws attention if someone is looking to rob you. Why put a target on your back?

@@alyeska1320 yup. I have a plain wedding band so I always have a ring I can wear no matter what I’m doing or where I’m going. In general I don’t take anything I’d be devastated to lose, whether by theft or lost/damaged bags.

@@Mistersgoodgirl Exactly! I buy cheap sterling silver bands to wear on the fingers I wear ring so I don’t panic if I feel they’re missing! Ha!

@@alyeska1320 maybe o should do that! I do find myself rubbing my fingers where my missing rings are…

Yes, I’ve found that it’s easier if you learn just a few important phrases. Hello, please, thank you, goodbye, sorry, excuse me. I think people really appreciate when you at least try.

I also have the same question 😂

I live in the US, in New England, and I don’t dress like the average American. My style is classic, understated elegance. I was brought up to dress this way as a sign of respect for oneself and others. I had no idea at the time that my mother was teaching me was to dress à la Parisienne. Not all Americans dress in athletic wear as daily clothing. I grew up in Boston, in an urban environment, and that greatly affected our choice of clothing. I moved to a bordering state, and the people here dress much more casually, as a rule. People always say that I look so nice. and I wonder why they don’t put forth the effort into making themselves look their best.

Really all of Alice's advice is good for the US too. Looking elegant is always appropriate, no matter where you are. I'm an American and I think most Americans would see Alice here and admire her look and style. I keep hoping the gym clothes/baseball cap look will fade here.

@@1marianne I dont undestand why the classic style must to be pushed down the other. They are equal. Self expressing. The world would be very boring if we uniformizated only with classic fashion. Everyone would wear trench coat blouses and blazer masculine styles. The humán fantasy is much larger that that.

@@kamillaerdos7636 Everyone does not need to dress the same, but wearing workout or pajama like clothes looks very strange to many people of all cultures and can show a lack of respect. It's also not safe as a tourist.

Right!!!

Milan is not all Europe. I live in Paris. Wearing designer bags in 2024 is cringe ....

@@Aliceinparisofficialwasn’t that you at 8:28 with Chanel bag? This is not a criticism as you look very classy. And the bag is understated.

I use the carhartt sling bag and I LOVE it! You can sling it behind you like a backpack or sling it in front of you. I highly recommend it and then I wear a money belt bag on my person under my clothes so my valuable items like cash, wallet, credit cards will not be stollen by pickpockets.

I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. No one ever guesses I’m American unless I speak to them. If I’m with my children, friends, or sisters, we don’t speak loudly enough for them to hear. My mother taught me this, and I’ve taught my children as well. Elegant but simple clothing is accepted everywhere, and it certainly doesn’t have to be expensive. This is a great video for those who don’t know this yet.

Hello thanks I will put the link of what I am wearing. Jacket comes from Bash I love this one

⁠@@Aliceinparisofficialcan you please share the size of your jacket? It looks so great on you but boxy on the Bash website….

I travel with a Korean-American friend and her daughter (half Korean, half white) who have the same problem. I’ve been to Copenhagen and Milan with them for week long trips, and they do stand out. They’re friendly, quiet, and respectful, and when I’ve been with them everything was fine. The only problem she ever had was on a different business trip in Milan when she got on the metro with her purse open and had her wallet stolen. She knew she’d screwed up though, and that didn’t happen because she was Korean. I do think the pickpockets we’re watching her more closely though and were able to steal from her because of it. Thankfully the company she works for was able to get her a new credit card right away since it’s a global company. She’s VERY careful with her purse now!

You will enjoy your visit much more if you feel like you are dressed appropriately and know something abut the culture you are in.

Sometimes it is good to wear outfits that flexible/comfy to run & kungfu with the thief as I heard a lots of robbery in Paris & London.

She is just giving information for people who prefer to blend in. If you want to look American this is your choice, but it will be perceived as frumpy. If you don't mind standing out, do your thing. But it may attract indeed the thief and you may not get the same service from some waiters. I am more a "When in Rome..." type of person and I appreciate those tips.

hello yes but chic dressed short not the relzxed or sexy ones. check my video on what to wear in paris in summer

Atelier Auguste check below the video there is a link and a promo code

no !

@@Aliceinparisofficial Is this the French directness I've heard about? Haha. Ok I will make them wear their sneakers, but we will be near the beach so they can wear the Crocs there. Otherwise I will have a mutiny on my hands.

Notice the same in the USA but probably 10x worst 😂

I bought a really nice one at Cuyana.

Not that it makes a difference but most of those university sweatshirts she showed were Canadian lol

Yes

Oh please, no.

yes it is true see the picture I have taken in Chateau de Versailles! I was in shock!

check below the video. I link the crossbody bag travel video. Atelier Auguste mini marly is unisex. the monceau is also unisex

Frumpy is a good description to get across the point of making effort. You would not show up to a job interview or meet a new mother or father in law looking frumpy. Same would apply here.

Stop making a fool of yourself with this comment 😳 Being defensive and going on the attack. It’s a video about fashion and style, that’s all 🤷‍♀️

​@lizwilliamson8332 Sorry, but no. Someone who is insulting to another culture by calling their clothes "frumpy" doesn't get let off the hook just because the comment was "just about fashion" and no biggie. It was said. It was an insult. Period.

@@ConserveMore so your response to believing your “culture” is being insulted is to throw back insults about Europe 🤷‍♀️

modest yes but be careful in public transportation and spaces

sneaker, loafer, small city boots

yes check my what to wear videos

Cotton and linens for clothing. If its warm rayon or other warm fabrics. Boots or non-logo sneakers or slip-on shoes, depending on where you are going and the weather. Minimal jewelry, and go for small wristlet wallet or ask an attelier in your city to make pockets underneath your sweater or coat. Most people don't even wear in-pockets in the US but in other countries, yes. If you have your arms across or standing, no one will see the hidden pockets for key-cards, credit card, ID card, and cash. Practice at home how to leave it on and take it off without unfolding it. This will become useful when you have to sit some where and once fold it, it'll be on your lap not on the chair; where the pickpockets will see it. If you are going to wear a hat, sunglasses or an umbrella buy a cheap one. In case some one does steal the piece from you, they are only worth $5 or $10 dollars. Most importantly feel comfortable and free to walk around without much worries. And don't forget about a light parfum (w) or cologne (m). And sunscreen, please keep safe from the sunrays. 😉

Have a GREAT time! What a wonderful education you’re giving your kids! I’m one of 5, and our parents took us EVERYWHERE. We were taught to speak quietly around others from a very young age so we wouldn’t draw attention to ourselves, and Mom dressed us in a lot of navy blue. (She could then also pass down the clothes from girl to boy, etc. ) It worked! Three out of five of us have even lived in different countries. I’ve taught my children as well, and now one of my daughters has been to three continents, two on her own. I’m so proud. :) Good job, Mama!

@@alyeska1320 thank you! Our kids are great travelers and a lot of fun. This is their first trip to Europe and they are so excited! We had an extended European trip planned for Sept 16, 2020, and you know what happened to those plans. Anyway, we are super excited to be able to take them now.

You missed the point entirely. The point is to look European SO THAT YOU DON'T GET ROBBED!

@@edennis8578 I know, but I wasnt only about that, cause baseball cap and flip flop is not about it.

Just be aware of your surroundings. You don't have to blend in

My teenage niece was dressed like a runway model in bright clothes and scarves on a recent trip. Luckily she actually LOOKS like a runway model! I think the rules are different for the young and for the very fashionable as long as you’re very aware of pickpockets. It also helped that her father looks like a hit man and grew up in Germany. No one was going to mess with her! :)

I have several designer bags. I don't wear them everyday; I go for mid range "niche" Parisian brands

I love your country! I grew up spending lots of summers with relatives in Den Bosch!

horrible 😂 pas possible

@@Aliceinparisofficial Yeah, I though so 😂

Crocs ‘n’ Socks - that’s a whole new level of wrong 😂
