The garments to copy for French women for Parisian looks

Moin c’est plus. Translated: if you are returning from a binge-watching of Emily in Paris forget it, because the maximalist dresses of Emily Cooper-Lily Collins are the furthest thing from the French essence. That she is precise and minimalist, and plays with sophisticated subtraction by bending trends to the cause of very chic. Paradigm of effortless elegance, a successful symbol of a never brash femininity, the French style is a concentrate of good taste that shuns opulence and excess, where an eclectic combination of “simple and well done” wins. From the iconic Jean Birkin to the modern Jeanne Damas, the style of girls from beyond the Alps is striking because it is casual, with that je ne sais quoi which, behind its spontaneity, actually hides a meticulous and reasoned care. Thus, the trench coat and the blazer (necessarily beige the first and black the second) embrace the volumes, to rejuvenate the classics with a masculine and extremely elegant touch. In contrast, the white blouses embroidered exquisitely feminine like dancers ultra flat, to be declined in a sober or pastel palette, or Mary Jane style, with the shoe straps that encircle the ankle. Nothing then shouts more Paris than a soft and enveloping cardigan to combine with rigorously high-waisted denim, rigidly not torn (or délavé). Great classics with a casual allure that you need to choose with care. THE trousers, for example, tailoring is chosen, with front pleats for an elegant flash even in the city. Yes to prints, from timeless sailor stripes to more delicate florals, no to logos, with the French girl who respects trends but declines them according to good taste. So dresses are preferred in the petticoat version, to be slipped over low-heeled ankle boots in perfect Sixties style. On the other hand, France is also the country that gave birth to miniskirt (okay the debate is open) and the French girl wears it “geometric”, with a trapeze shape (and often in jeans) to be combined with knee-high boots or ballet shoes depending on the occasion. Finally, the accessories that make it french style wants chic but practical, suitable for everyday use without necessarily falling into banality. And if in winter raffia and the like don’t go down well (but the Parisians also combine them with the coat) bet everything on shoulder bag. Less informal than the shoulder bag, more practical than the clutch, it is the obligatory choice to replicate it to the letter french style.
