French stereotypical hat

Never really saw French people wearing it too so it confused me a bit when I travelled there with my Mom and Aunt many years back.I like Paris even though it was the winter season

they did, what i mean is that the world has a clueless vision of france brought by the anglo world through pop culture.

Oooo
Even the smoking thing and the triangle moustaches too?

>Do other Europeans have their own equivalent?

Wouldn't it be illegal to own one of these in Germany?

Paris in winter can look pretty good. Although you may have thought the weather was shitty.

You asked for stereotypical, not shit people actually wear. And no, it wouldn't be illegal.
Nice dubs btw

yes, we are far from being the most smokers in europe, think about it, the first exposure you got from france is surely through an american media exposing his vision of france.

???

True
The hotel we stayed in was ankle deep in snow and it felt nice

???!?

You guys aren't rude though right?
Why do French people get stereotyped as snobs and cunts?

?

Ask you the same question with the american cowboy, or the bavarian german with his sausage and beer, or the brit with his monocle, or the irish with the shamrock...

True
I guess misinformation is one way for a stereotype to grow

American propaganda

1. Americans come in and don't see everyone smiling and think everyone's rude
2. It's a big city thing in general
Maybe some of these applies here but idk

Mostly because we have customs that are perceived as rude by outsiders, such as not being overly friendly to strangers, whereas in America for example, they always greet strangers with this big smile that French people would find unnatural. Otherwise I wouldn't say we're rude, except maybe some Parisians.

>Mostly because we have customs that are perceived as rude by outsiders, such as not being overly friendly to strangers
Guess that explains it.
>"Big Smile"
Like how big?
I think Russians are nice but God knows maybe it varies from Moscow to Vladivostok

Every urbanite in the world is depicted as arrogant, rude and the biggest misconception for the foreigners is that Paris represent France, Paris is one of the most cosmopolitical cities if not the first. Yoi can litteraly not paint one standard french, north, south, east west : they are different. Standard french is really the common cultural tree, like english for the united states. Think about it, compare a californian and a person from north Dakota.

wtf I hate French people now

hate anglos and their propaganda, it's the same pretty much everywhere

Dunno, but Americans really do smile a lot: theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/05/why-americans-smile-so-much/524967/
Whereas you'll get a lip smile at best, here.

Maybe forced?
Here you smile with your lips and when you see your friend you give them a nod

>Americans really do smile
In southern rural America. Not in New York.

Is Southern Rural America a nice place?
I imagine something like farms and villages

Only place where white Americans have culture tßh. Look up stuff like crab boil.

We're nice but Moscow and Saint-Petersburg are their own kinda thing and there are regions like Tatarstan or Yakutia where there are other nationalities living there so they might be different from ethnic Russians

True
Russia itself is a vast country about the same size as the US.What is the "New York" of Russia in a sense that it functions as the economic capital of the land?

quintessential geezer hat

I'd say that's Moscow

what about the onions around the neck?

It's the choice of the fashion conscious middle class Englishman now

I never go out without them.

Almost every european country, sometimes even regions (like in Italy), have their own traditional/stereotypical hat

when I see this
he is the first thing come to my mind.
Japanese influences is quite something

Cant tell if shoop or porn.

Now it's mostly famous for its culture and architecture and intelligent people while Moscow is famous for money and immigrants

Germany is made of multiple cultural spheres, Bavaria is vastly different from Schleswig-Holstein and North-Rhine-Westphalia is different from Saxony. Pretty much every region has its own distinct regional culture, that includes hats. Bavarians for example are internationally known for their Lederhosen attire and the hat that usually comes with it. The rest of Germany doesn't wear these hats, but different ones. I'm no expert on hat culture though and can't tell you about all of them, it's not like you see people wearing hats everywhere on the street. Prussia was known for the Pickelhaube, but that excludes the South of Germany.

neither, it's art

It depends by region, for example this is usually what old people wear in Sicily and nearby regions.

same desu

The BBC had an article about it. Supposedly it was only a thing in Bretagne and some of those onion salesmen came over to Britain. The British then somehow assumed it was representative for all of France. As for the striped shirt, that's a navy thing (the contrast between black and white makes it easier to spot men overboard).

At least in the Netherlands the "necklace of onions" stereotype does not exist so it may be uniquely British for the reasons described above.

every european farmer wore this

From the basques I guess, then it spread to Paris and then t the world but it is typical in the basque country.
