International Business: Dressing in France

I've always wanted to travel to France, especially Paris it's always been a city I've been interested into going to. I mean France is known for their amazing fashion! I decided since my blog revolves dressing professionally it would be interesting to focus a blog on international business attire. What we consider in Canada to be "Professional" might not be in France. Entamons le vêtement d'affaires français!

 

 

 

• In France Men are accepted to wear dark suits with either a plain solid or striped dress shirt underneath
• Women In France should dress in a simple manner but still maintain elegance.
• Accessorizing is accepted while dressing and is done by many French business professionals
• During business meetings men should be clean shaven and have their hair cut and your nails must be trimmed
• Your dress shoes should be shined
• Women should wear light and minimal makeup
• Jackets and bags should be just as nice as the suit your wearing
• The French people always prefer style and maintaining a classy image over being comfortable

 

For all you future professional business employees who would love to work in France or conduct any business Internationally In France I hope you enjoyed this post! It's always interesting to learn about international cultures and their way of doing things. I thought it was interesting that the French would rather sacrifice comfort over style, I guess they don't have casual Friday's.

 

 

 

Au revoir jusqu'à ce que le prochain post
