Today marks the end of my time in Spain, and the beginning of France for me. Spain has been amazing, and it’s crazy to think that my trip is so close to being over already. Although, I will admit that just in the last couple of days I have started to tire of the clothes I brought – I packed unbelievably well for such a small bag and long trip, but longing for my Free City sweatshirt or just a little more variety was bound to happen eventually! Im in the home stretch though, so I can make this wardrobe work just a little longer :). And while I’m talking about my wardrobe, I have to give the VIP award to my Rebecca Taylor leather jacket. In my very nerdy tourist outfits (read: skinny jeans with big running shoes), that jacket is keeping me looking cool and on trend. Thank you, Rebecca Taylor!!

Speaking of wardrobe, now that I’ve left Spanish Basque Country, I have some new trends to share. All of those from my last Sartorial post are still holding true, but Basque country brought about some very distinct aesthetic changes…

Man Piercings- All Shapes (Typically of the hoop varietal) and Sizes

Older men in berets

The beret has deep roots in Basque culture, and is/was actually sometimes referred to as a Basque beret.

Clunky boots

Doc Martens of all colors, Timberlands, you name it 

And speaking of shoes…platforms are all the rage

A Spanish thing, not just a Basque thing…male bike shorts, or leggings, for working out

Fur Everywhere

Seriously, I’ve seen so many women in fur up here – but this is the only one I have a good picture of…

And last but not least, the Selfie Stick is STILL trending…

France, my eyes are open…reveal your trends to me…
