When hearing the words “Parisian woman,” we usually imagine a gorgeous lady in a little black dress with a red beret on her head and elegant shoes on her feet. However, these days, this stereotype has significantly faded, just like your perfume at the end of a working day. Today, French women appreciate comfortable clothing, like to appear in public make-up free, and opt for comfortable sneakers instead of stilettos.
We at Bright Side found 10 new French features that may astonish newcomers.
In France, they never ask why a girl isn’t married.
Asking a girl why she’s not married is believed to be a sign of bad manners in France. It’s also inappropriate to ask why she still doesn’t have kids. Moreover, even parents don’t ask such awkward questions to their daughters as not to confuse them. Here, you can often meet people who get married after age 40 to 50 and it’s considered to be absolutely normal.
French women rarely wear bras.
Many girls here don’t wear bras, especially those whose breasts are smaller. However, it’s still customary to wear this wardrobe item at work in order not to attract too much attention.
