From USMC Uniform Regs, "
The Fourragere will be worn over the left shoulder with the left arm
passing through the large loop of the cord; the small loop will engage the
button under the shoulder strap, except on the enlisted men's blue dress coat
when it will engage the button above the strap, and the metal pencil
attachment will hang naturally to the front."
A Marine or Sailor can wear the french fourragere as long as he is in the 5th or 6th Marine regiment. Once he leaves, he can no longer wear it.
the fourragere is for the french legion of honor award

That decoration is only allowed for those on duty with the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments. If you earned it, you wear it and if your unit won it, you wear it while serving in that unit.

To wear is porter, and not to wear is ne pas porter.

The fourragère - a military award that distinguishes military units as a whole - is worn by the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments. They were awarded the fourragère for earning the Croix de Guerre with palm leaf three times during World War I. The fourragère was first adopted by France before the Netherlands, Portugal and Belgium followed.
French people wear modern day clothing just like Americans.
No, there are no hairstyles that you have to wear in French schools. But students tend to follow fashion.
