Paris Colored Leggings

PB reader Jay L. sent me this photo, saying,
"New York girls are wearing the same look as Paris girls!"
I took a second look and noticed bare legs.You don't see bare legs often in Paris.

Except in Summer as
grace mentioned in the comments. I saw them exactly one time with these lace-up heels...(Not my photo) but from the Spring shows-
Here lace-ups are shown with black leggings.And in H & M's Paris windows woolly leggings. Go inside and try to find those woolly leggings. I dare you. I couldn't. On the street you see.A ton of BLACK leggings/tights/with feet and without but black.

Here a double set of leggings.

The guy with the Pierre Herme bag is about to lose it gaping at these legs. OK we were all gaping. I was on the other side of the track and a Metro was coming. I nearly fell in.

More leggings from a French style guide.

Cable-knit leggings in H & M's windows (pronounced ash n' M)
I couldn't find those either.

A PB reader asked me to look for colored leggings in Paris.

I found them on this kiddie/gosse.

And in

A lot of shop windows.

Only a few Frenchies were actually caught wearing them.

Were they trying too hard?

Purple leggings AND purple scarf?

Here's a French girl window shopping (leche-vitrine). Would she be caught dead in these violette leggings? I wonder.
The French are conservative and stick to their grey, beige and black.

Period.

Looking is one thing.

Wearing another. What do you think?

One thing you'll see in Paris - completely buck-naked and happy is Pierre Herme macarons in a see-through bag.
No complaints here unless you're planning on bringing them home on the plane - pack them in a protective box.

Or eat immediately.

BONJOUR PARIS LEGGINGS!
