Florence or State College? Destination No. 4

I was so excited to finally have the chance to travel outside of Paris and see the different fashions in other amazing cities, and one of my first stops was Florence, Italy. However, from the moment I got off the plane it was clear that the fashions here would not compare at all to that of the Parisiennes.
Florence is a lot smaller than Paris, and I was able to see pretty much the whole city and many different people in the few days that I was there. Though the city was obviously very different, foreign and beautiful, I could not say the same thing about the people and their fashion choices.




There was definitely a large amount of American students studying there, however even those who were not American dressed very similarly. They followed many of the same trends, always looking pretty casual. One of the biggest differences I noticed between Parisiens and Americans is the way that they dress to go out. In Paris, it is very rare to see people in shorts and a crop top – a staple in most American girl’s wardrobe these days. In Florence, there were so many people sporting this somewhat “American” look that I might has well been in my own college town (State College). It was very interesting to see that not all Europeans take the same approach to fashion as the Parisiens do.
