Today's Fab February is the sequel to my last post. All of these fashion ideas are what I have amalgamated after doing a lot of research into French fashion.
Tips on Dressing Parisian Chic:
1. Slim Cut Pants. There is the saying that "jeans are a Frenchwoman's sweat pants", and I have to believe that is true. Slim cut pants are the best choice for everyday as they can be paired with any top. You can get straight cut khakis for the spring and summer, and slim black pants work great for day and night.
2. Flats and Heels. I realize this is kind of counteractive but both style are worn frequently in Paris. Flats make an outfit more casual, and 2-3 inch heels add elegance. When choosing the shoes pick neutral nudes, black, and grey in classic styles.
3. Trench Coat. This is your best friend in the Spring, Fall, and Winter. It doesn't get overly cold in Paris (in respect to Canada at least) but a warm trench coat is a great piece to have in your wardrobe. Black and beige are good colour choices.
4. Well Cut Blazer. This is the key piece in any chic minimalist wardrobe. You can pair this with any dress or outfit to take it from a 9.5 to a 10. A black blazer is a must in any Parisians' closet.
5. Fitted Blouses. White fitted blouses are a daily favourite of Parisiennes. They can be tucked into pants or skirts, and are a fashionable way to stay cool in the summer. White, black, and navy blue are the favourite colours (these colours are a common theme in French style).
I hope this was interesting especially if you are planning a trip to Paris (that's still on my bucket list). French style is the pinnacle of class and elegance. Coming up soon: Paris Inspired Hair Tutorial; Beauty on a Budget Top Drugstore Picks.
