Even the most ignorant fashion novice can look at the average Parisian and think, “damn…they look good!” All the incredible shopping in Paris must have something to do with it. Window-shopping is like an Olympic sport in this town, and the French even have a name for it, “lèche-vitrine,” which literally translates to “licking the showcase.” They don’t mean it literally, of course, so keep the tongues at bay, even though it might be hard when staring at all the incredible displays that pop out from practically every major street in Paris.
Although government officials have begun to enforce regulations to curb ongoing commercialization, the stunning Avenue des Champs-Élysées is filled with a plethora of popular brand stores from Nike to Louis-Vuitton that cater to the tourist crowd, while fashion aficionados shopping for unique luxury designers could spend weeks exploring even more upscale side streets like Avenue Montaigne.

How’s that for Paris shopping! Now go lick something.
