The staple fashion of young people here is jeans and grey cardigans, leggings, and you need to have a Disney hoody, everyone owns one! Also tracksuits here are a plenty, but the people wearing them actually participate in sports unlike England ;)
Boys wear baggy jeans, timberlands and smart jumpers or tracksuits, or smart trousers with a shirt and bright coloured jumper. Trainers are a must for all, branded of course.
For women, its smart trousers and cardigans with shirts or plain tees, wedge shoes or boots are a must. You need a designer handbag, a quite big one, whether it’s real or not, also a belt proclaiming D&G or something similar and designer sunglasses or glasses. Make up here is extreme, think dark eye shadow applied heavily all over the lid and lots of foundation. For the slightly older lady, a matching skirt suit, patterned or in a bright colour is a necessity, worn with heels of course.
For men, sunglasses, jeans, tracksuits (especially if you are a little chubs) or suits with ties and sports jackets or knee length dark coats.
Red heads are rare; this is one of the main signs of me being foreign, that and the fact that I always wear dresses and boots with tights, and my handbags really small. The only other person that fits in worse than me is one of the French teachers who is actually French, and lives in jeans or black trousers and giant jumpers, always with messy long curly hair and no make-up, so unlike all the completely made-up female teachers.
