Paris, here's another mainstream guide where to spot the good street style
Where to Sip and Style-Spot: The Best Paris Cafés to Catch Street Fashion in Action
Paris isn’t just the fashion capital of the world—it’s a living, breathing runway. If you're looking to dive into the heart of Paris street style, there’s no better way than settling into a café terrace with a drink in hand and watching the fashion parade unfold. The Parisian streets offer endless inspiration. In this guide, we reveal the best addresses across the city where Paris street style comes alive—perfect for people-watching, outfit ideas, and soaking up that signature je ne sais quoi.
Café La Perle
78 Rue Vieille du Temple, 75003 Paris
A corner bar, full of improbable outfits and perfectly timed nonchalance. La Perle, obviously. Some come for the beer, others for the always-packed terrace, most for the “I’m just here by accident” energy. Who’s there? Everyone. The fashion kids on their break, the girl with the baguette and vintage ballerinas, the upstairs neighbor reading a book upside down in AirPods, the photographer taking a smoke break. And maybe you. And why here? Because it’s basically the Marais’ unofficial runway. You order whatever, stay too long, and end up chatting with total strangers like it’s the most natural thing ever. Sunglasses recommended.
Le Progès
1 Rue de Bretagne, 75003 Paris
Le Progrès is where you end up without planning to—and it’s always the right call. Maybe it’s the golden light, maybe the messy-chic crowd, or just the easy flow from coffee to apéro without moving a muscle. The waiters pretend to be grumpy but they’re not (maybe). And the people-watching? Iconic. One glass turns into two, someone walks by in a look that makes you want to rethink your whole wardrobe, and suddenly you’re part of the scene. Wearing LE BOXFIT? You’ll either blend in perfectly or turn heads. Both work.
Le Saint-Gervais
96 Rue Vieille du Temple, 75003 Paris
Le Saint Gervais is the kind of place you almost miss if you’re not paying attention—and that’s exactly the point. Tucked away on a quiet corner, it feels more like a local secret than a Marais hot spot. The vibe is slower, softer, but never boring. Regulars read the paper like it's 2003, friends share a bottle without checking their phones, and the soundtrack always hits just right. And the people-watching? Still iconic—just more subtle. Think quiet cool, not look-at-me.
Chez Prune
36 Rue Beaurepaire, 75010 Paris
Chez Prune isn’t trying to impress you—and that’s why it does. It’s all scratched tables, packed banquettes, and just the right amount of chaos. Overlooking Canal Saint-Martin, it feels like stepping into a scene that’s been playing out for years. There’s always someone sketching, flirting, arguing softly over cigarettes. If you show up in LE BOXFIT, no one will blink—but someone might ask you where your jacket’s from.
Le Mansart
It’s polished without being stiff, where you can sip a cocktail at the bar or cozy up in a velvet booth without missing a beat. The wine is decent, the food is better than it needs to be, and the terrace? Prime real estate for spotting the kind of cool you can’t fake. If you’re rocking LE BOXFIT here, you’re not just blending in—you’re setting the tone.
Le Cornichon
2 Rue des Goncourt, 75011 Paris
Come for the frites, stay for the vinyl bar stools, flipper machine, and a very democratic menu. Half old-school bistro, half mood-lit cocktail den, this is where the 11ème’s effortlessly styled locals go to match vintage looks with vintage dishes.
