Blog 14: La Mode en France

Here's the website I used: https://www.laredoute.fr/

ce jean déchirés bleu maigre coûte 34.99 euros

ce sweat zippé à capuche gris coûte 44.00 euros

ce court short noir coûte 16.49 euros

B.  

1. Un t-shirt bleu marine et jaune coûte 27.95 euros.
2. Un jean déchirés bleu maigre coûte 34.99 euros.
3. Un sweat zippé à capuche gris coûte 44.00 euros. 
4. Un short noir MK1 Terry coûte 16.49 euros. 
5. Des baskets alphabounce noir et blancs coûte 50.59 euros.

C.  I noticed that in France, they value fashion a lot.  The clothes are very fancy, high quality, and very expensive.  For example, I found a fancy jacket that was about 114 euros.  I feel like the clothes in France are mainly formal because a lot of people go out to restaurants and parties.  There are a lot of clothing items in french fashion just like in the US.  The online shopping for clothes is more detailed since you have more buying options, clothing categories, sizes, colors, etc...  The US online shopping store for clothing is similar, but not too detailed.

New Français Vocab Words: maillot de bain, peignoir, gilet, blouson, marques, boxers, polo, bijoux, robe de chambre, les marques premium, boxers, et caleçon.

D. I liked the clothing I saw because it was really nice and fancy.  They have different shirts, shoes, pants, jackets, jeans, etc... I didn't really expect french clothing to have nice and magnificent clothes.

c) 

Vêtements français et vêtements européens in general are more clean cut and layered with les vêtements based neutral colors such as noir, blanc, et beige. Par exemple, un t-shirt blanc would be tucked into high waisted pantalons et une imperméable longue would be layered above. Vetements americains is more revealing and deconstructed. Ripped jeans, cropped clothing, and mesh clothing being popular. J'aime vêtements français parce que it looks more simple, clean, and professional.

salopette = overalls

bottines = ankle boots

d) I liked the dresses the most because they were very elegant and pretty. I noticed that children clothing go up to 16 year olds. Most childrens clothing in America go to 12-14 year olds.

C.

- I think the biggest difference based on fashion between U.S. and France is that France has such colorful and patterned clothes. Most of the shirts I saw in the French website had those flowery patterns with bright colors. The second difference I realized is that French people do not wear mini skirts and shirts with open belly and back. They prefer not showing their skin as much as people in U.S. do.

Vocab I learned: 

montant: amount 

col: collar

delave: washed out

pyjashort: pajamas with short

maille: mesh

I'lle de Gorée:

   From the year 1536 to 1848, I'lle de Gorée was a center of commerce (maining in slave trading). It was one of the first European settlements in western Africa. Portuguese sailors under Dinis Dias' command occupied the area for many years and also enslaved the indigenous Lebu people that lived in the area. I'lle de Gorée was used for slave trading until the French came to Senegal in the 19th century.

L'ile de Gorée is an island off the coast of Dakar. It played a big role as a slave-trading hub during the 15th to 19th centuries. The island is one of the first European settlements in Western Africa. The island's slave trade came to a halt when immigrants from France settled in Senegal during the 19th century.

B: Des Vêtements Je vais acheter

  1.  Je vais acheter un lot de trois chaussettes à neuf euros.
  2. Je vais acheter un lot de 3 boxers à quarante euros.
  3. Je vais acheter un jean noir à trente euros.
  4. Je vais acheter un t-shirt longue en coton à dix euros.
  5. Je vais acheter un gilet cérémonie bleu-ci avec une chemise boutonnée blanche à quinze euros.
  6. Je vais acheter une cravate pure soie lisse à douze euros.

C:  I noticed that costs vary immensely in French fashion from different categories. There are many popular clothing items including denim jackets, black belts on jeans, white gowns, and silk pants.  However, in U.S, clothing prices are more one-sided and cheaper. For women, dresses and blouses are favored and for men, coats and t-shirts are favored. Secondly, I believe fashion is taken more strict in France than in America.

New French Words: Blouson, Blazer, Survêtement, Lot, Gilet, Boxers, Lisse

D: I really liked the diverse t-shirt colors and designs, and the unique shoes. French clothing is highly interesting and enjoyable because there are so many different ways of dressing up.

I feel like the trends aren't actually that different, because from what I have seen, all the shirts, dresses, and pants are the same as any store in the US. However, some of the prices are lower than in the US, such as jeans which cost around $30, but would cost $40-60 in the US. In addition, there is a special section just for scarves, which is something not common in the US.

Floral, pois (polka dots), tropicale, fluide

I liked how the page design is almost identical to other online shops in the US. This makes it easy to navigate. Also, I noticed there were a lot of english, like "bootcut" or "boyfriend."
