When people think of Paris, the thing about the images they sell on television and films, they imagine it as this beautiful city of love, and the mind immediately goes to the lit-up Eiffel Tower. However, in reality, a very small part of Paris looks like films. This is why many people think Paris is overrated.
Despite the beauty of the city, there are many elements of it that are discouraging to visitors. One is the high amount of pickpocketing that happens in the city. There are many tourists who are a victim of this crime. Along with that, Paris has a high homeless rate, which visitors are forced to deal with.
If you are thinking of traveling to Paris and you don't want to be treated more like a tourist, then you need to know some things that will make you fit well with the locals without any suspicion as regards your true identity. Getting this achieved starts with what you put on. Parisians are good dressers; they cannot be looked down upon when it comes to fashion things. You don't need to dress too expensive before you can look so much like the locals. Parisians like to dress very simply and smartly. The first thing I'll recommend is that you don't go out with workout dresses unless you're indeed working out.
Parisians don't usually put on workout dresses when going out. And if you try this, you're only revealing your identity as a tourist. Whenever you're going out, always dress smart and this should also reflect on the type of shoes you wear. During the summer, you wouldn't want to wear thick fabrics. Also, try as much as possible to get yourself materials like hats, sunglasses, especially if you want to explore some places on foot.
