In the Haut Marais neighborhood of Paris, locals turn to polo, Vanessa Bruno, and Serge Gainsbourg for inspiration. By: Stefania Rousselle for The New York Times.

“The Haut Marais is still a mix of the old neighborought. There are still courtyards that are left alone. It has som much charm. On top of that, there are renovated buildings, at gallery openings, fashion clothing stores, lots of cafes and delicious restaurants. It’s a neighborought that is rapidly changing,” introduced the famous Parisian borougha lawyer Viviane Meunier.

Fashion journalist Madeleine Czigler would describe a style of the Haut Marais as ‘bobo chic’: “Bobo means bohemian bourgeois. There’s a undercoat of conservative resting that Parisians love to wear. Very classic, but intermingled with a bohemian outlook.”

And what is that look like? “My dream is to have the perfect denim shirt, the perfect denim pants. To have them 15 in my closet and to put same thing on every day. I don’t know if my devotion for search borought explains this, but I like the idea wearing the unifrom. What allows me some variaty are the watch, tha glasses and the boots,” shares his style tips film producer Michel Spavone.
