French Men Part Deux

I am going back to my post about French men. I found these photos on my french sister's facebook and hope that she never reads my blog since I sifted through 300 pictures to find them. The bottom one makes me laugh because I assume that every french man has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth with shaggy black hair. The other shows a better variety. I noticed that every guy in the picture is wearing a collared shirt. I don't know if American men realize how much girls value collared shirts. They really class up an outfit, even if it is just paired with jeans. I know when I see guys on the street wearing collared shirts I silently thank them for their effort with a slight nod. I had an ex-boyfriend tell me that he didn't dress up because he said that guys only dress well to get girls. And to this I say precisely. A man who dresses well already has one foot in the door. But I hope that somewhere out there guys may toss aside the gym shorts for khakis and t-shirts for button downs because they value their appearance. I think this concept impressed me the most about men in France.

  1. How do you feel flannel fits into all of this? Its button up, its collared, but not exactly classy... or is it?

  2. Gym shorts are all the rage around here. There is definitely a line between dressing up and dressing decently.
