French fashion. France is a leading country in the fashion design industry, along with Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan and the United States. Fashion is an important part of the country's cultural life and society, and the French are well known for their good taste in fashion.
It is as if French women know they are the best-dressed breed on the planet and so carry themselves that way. They don't dress down, own hoodies, or go to the bakery/coffee shop in yoga pants. They do not ask for opinions or second-guess their style choices (as they are naturally less risky anyway).
