How to dress French women?

For many of us, France is consistently associated with the capital of world fashion, and the style of French women - with a unique local chic. Therefore, many of our compatriots, for the first time having got on the streets of Paris, experience, to put it mildly, surprise, seeing firsthand what the French women wear. Heel shoes, mini skirts, clothes with labels of world brands, false nails, an abundance of accessories - if any of the above and get to you in the eyes of the streets of French cities, then in front of you, most likely, a lady from the countries of the post-Soviet space. French clothes are a unique embodiment of their worldview and lifestyle, the motto of which is: femininity, sense of proportion and high quality of what you wear (from underwear to accessories).

Secrets of the beauty and style of the Frenchwoman

Women in France, of course, follow the fashion novelties and are well versed in them, but "dressed in all brand" is considered a bad form. How to dress French in the summer? At work, in a restaurant and even in the theater, a resident of Marseilles or Provence can easily go in lightweight trousers made from natural fabric (pastel shades for the warm season and natural materials all year round - typical features of style, and slightly shortened trousers - a favorite and universal model). How to dress a Frenchwoman in the winter? A real mademoiselle will always prefer a coat to a jacket, and a cardigan with a windbreaker will add a beautifully tied scarf or tippet to her along, but shoes will choose shoes on a comfortable heel (for them, +1 +5 in January).

But the main secrets of the style of French clothes are not hidden in WHAT, exactly, but HOW they are worn.

Five characteristic features of the French style:

  1. Careful negligence. Even at the exit from the hairdresser's hairdo will never look "hair to the hair."
  2. A skillful combination of things "from the latest collection" with vintage or simply inexpensive elements of the wardrobe.
  3. Attachment to quality designer clothes.
  4. On bags, shoes, ornaments or scarf, the Frenchwoman will never save: there should not be many accessories, but they must be of excellent quality.
  5. Naturalness and practicality are the cornerstones of the local style. Makeup is "invisible", and your favorite things usually do not serve a year or two.

Of course, it's hardly worth copying a Frenchwoman in all respects (and it's not a fact that it will turn out - yet we have a different mentality), but some features of their style will definitely be able to improve and diversify your familiar image.
