Walk in Paris: the Brand's Story, Key Pieces, Schott and Size Guide

Walk in Paris : histoire de la marque, pièces phares, Schott et guide des tailles

Walk in Paris is an independent creative house born in Paris in 2013, co-founded by Gary Neveu and the dancer Léo Walk. Since 2024, Gary Neveu has been its sole shareholder. The brand describes its style as "lazy chic", an elevated streetwear that moves between 1970s elegance and 1990s hip-hop culture. This guide covers its story, its key pieces (the Signature line, the postman uniform, the denim and the leather jackets made with Schott NYC) and how they fit, based on the charts the brand publishes. The full selection is in the Walk in Paris collection.

From 40 T-shirts to a Paris label

Gary Neveu says he went through skateboarding and graffiti before launching T-shirts with his partner: a first run of 40 pieces, made for their friends. Hoodies, T-shirts and caps followed, with a taste for "oversized" inherited from the 1990s. The name comes from strolling around Paris: Gary Neveu links it to the feeling of walking through Paris at night, when you come from the suburbs and finally make it to the centre.

In May 2022, the brand opened its first store at 32 rue Yves Toudic, near the Canal Saint-Martin, in the 10th arrondissement. That same year, a study ranked it first among French fashion companies for Instagram engagement. In May 2024, Léo Walk sold his shares and Gary Neveu took sole charge of the brand, which now goes by the line "Create your own heritage".

Collaborations built its reputation: Lacoste in 2021, with 1980s pieces sourced from vintage shops, Paraboot the same year on the Yosemite model, Paris Saint-Germain in 2023 and 2026, the Le Meurice hotel in 2024, the milliner Courtois for the Sherlock berets, and above all Schott NYC, with which the brand has been making leather jackets since 2022.

Walk in Paris key pieces

The Signature line

This is the brand's foundation: 210 GSM cotton T-shirts with a straight fit and a Signature screen print on the chest and back, in white, heather grey or black, and the Signature zip hoodie (80% cotton, 20% polyester) in black or heather grey. Both are made in Portugal. The Signature cap and the Every Step cap complete the line.

The postman uniform

A standout of autumn-winter 2026, the postman uniform jacket is cut from 13 oz grey raw denim in organic cotton and inspired by courier uniforms: shirt collar, concealed button placket, patch chest pockets embroidered with a W. It goes with the postman uniform trousers, in the same denim with a wide balloon fit. Both are made in Portugal. The Postman Varsity Jacket takes up the theme in red and ecru wool blend, with a chenille W patch and "Walk for your Dreams" embroidery.

The denim

Denim is the largest family in the brand's catalogue, and all of it is made in Portugal. At AURA, you will find the regular jeans in black raw denim at 12.25 oz, straight fit with a Walk monogram embroidered on the front pocket, and the baggy trousers in raw denim, with long, wide legs.

Walk in Paris x Schott NYC

The collaboration began in November 2022 with a "Paris New York" flight jacket: the two brands are exactly a hundred years apart, Schott having been founded in 1913. Five chapters have followed, up to "Youngtimer" in October 2025, built around cars from the 1980s to the 2000s. The reference model remains the flight jacket: cowhide leather, satin lining, detachable sheepskin collar, two outside and two inside pockets, rib cuffs and hem, and action pleats at the back. AURA stocks the black Onyx flight jacket, in a "Standard" fit.

How does Walk in Paris fit?

Walk in Paris does not publish a general size guide: each product page gives its own measurements, taken flat on the garment, with a 1 cm tolerance. Most tops are described as a straight fit. The brand does not say whether it runs large or small; on its own product pages, its models from 178 cm to 185 cm almost all wear an M on top and a 30 in jeans. Between two sizes, the brand advises choosing according to the drape you prefer.

Jeans: the size conversion

The jeans and denim trousers are sized in inches. Walk in Paris publishes this conversion:

28XS284238
30S304440
32M324642
34L344844
36XL365046

On the regular jeans, the flat waist is 39.5 cm in a 28, 41.5 cm in a 30 and 43.5 cm in a 32, for a total length of about 108 cm. Doubled, that gives the garment waist: 79 cm in a 28, 83 cm in a 30, 87 cm in a 32.

Flat measurements published by Walk in Paris (the brand's reference T-shirt chart, the Signature zip hoodie and the postman uniform jacket). Width is taken at the hem. The wide shoulders of the zip hoodie (54 cm in M against 42 cm for the T-shirt) give it a more relaxed drape than the T-shirt.
