Street style in Paris for April 2009 doesn’t reveal as much skin as one might hope by this time of year, but the late winter doesn’t mean Parisians will be any less fashionable this month.
These photos of Street Fashion in Paris indicate that tight black pants are all the rage in the French capital. This gallery even includes skinny pants paired with this season’s must-have military glam Balmain blazer. One tres fashionable gent in skinny black man pants was also photographed wearing futuristic, black, Geordi La Forge sunglasses.
Shiny black pants seem to be the most popular—and, not surprisingly since it’s Paris, also the most daring variant for pantalon noir.
A similar look can also be achieved with thigh-high black leather boots as fashion icons like Vogue Paris’ Carine Roitfeld prove.
