Streets Report: Nice, France 🇫🇷
17 real-life street snaps I captured in August.
Streets Report is an ongoing series where I take pictures of regular people in the streets. Unlike fashion lookbooks or random enthusiasts, these are just passers-by. Some obviously care more about their looks, while others do less. Either way, they certainly don’t do it to be photographed by someone else. They just feel like it, and I find it beautiful.

Weird flex but ok:
I met this gentleman twice in different parts of the city. His style was consistent:
I love this simple combination of black jeans, a blue shirt, and some stylish leather sandals worn sock-less. Proper fit is the king. Extra points for those nonchalantly rolled sleeves:

Quintessential style of elderly Frenchmen, including belted pants, tucked in shirt, and some driving mocs:
Worn by dads in Ohio, I guess:
Fun shirts are always fun:
Here is the reason why they say not to wear boat shoes with socks. The overall outfit still looks comfy though:
Kids wear bags, not clothes these days:
Or patchwork teddy bears:
Outside the Korova Milkbar:
Topping it off with some serious elderly gentlemen summer style:
