What you will never hear a Parisienne say

The fashion circus has reached its final stop; Paris. A reason to dive into the archetype of class and elegance, the Parisienne. If you want to look like her, definitely don't say this.

You might think that in the land of wine, it is also poured and drunk generously. Perhaps by the men, but losing decorum is the horror of every Parisienne. Out of politeness and to let the taste of la cuisine come into its own, a glass of wine is dutifully drunk, of course. But to reach a state of apparent enlightenment? Mais non. A glass of the best Bordeaux and then basta.

Drinking may be moderate, but smoking happens in abundance. On the terrace of Café de Flor for example, under the heat lamp. But leave it to the Parisienne to make even smoking while walking on the street look très chic.

Every Parisienne with a bit of a job and an active life is on sleeping pills. Basic essential. Without them, she can't handle this busy life.

In the French workplace, the rule is; the ruder, the better. It's best not to give compliments about your colleagues‘ work at all. Suppose the project flops, then you were already critical from the start. Anyway, you don't give compliments via email, that can only be used against you. If someone has come up with a cure for cancer or something else that is good for a legion d’honneur, then you give a tight little smile and whisper the words ’c'est pas mal'.

Les 1 Parisiennes prefer to wrap themselves in French clothing. Les 2 The use of logos is the height of bad taste. The Parisienne dresses understated. Preferably in labels that are not mainstream. Even Isabel Marant is already on the edge (too well-known, too available on every street corner, too, well just too). Her wardrobe consists of Vanessa Bruno, Maje or Sandro.

In the workplace, the Parisienne is stingy with spreading cheerful phrases, everything that happens in her own life is only spoken of in superlatives. That concert was dément (yes, exactly, from dement, pronounced as dee-mahn).

Not only for her sleeping pills and 27 daily supplements, but also the skincare products are bought at the pharmacie . Preferably underground brands that almost no one knows. No big brands on the vanity table of French girls, everything is underground, personal, and unique.
