Before coming to France, maybe you think that French people wear formal(正式的) clothes. But when you get to Paris, you came to know why France is always leading(引领) the world fashion and Paris can attract (吸引) so many designers from all over the world.
On the boulevard of Champs-elysees, there are many fashion shops of famous brands (品牌), such as Chanel, Dior, Pierre Cardin. In daily life, however, most of Parisians never wear clothes like those on the super models. Instead, you will find people in Paris often dress in very simple designs and usually in dark.
This doesn't stop French designers from making more and more new styles. But people in Paris dress more formally than those in the rest of France. In other French cities, what people wear are usually casual dresses, such as T-shirts and jeans.
French people act as the fashion leaders, but they accept(接受) other clothes styles too. The city of Montpellier is in southern France, near the Mediterranean Sea(地中海). There are many immigrants (移民) from Algeria, Morocco and other African countries. That is why you can find a lot of young people dress in the North African style.
