Live vanuit de Paris Fashion Week
Hello cuties, live from Paris Fashion week I want to talk to you right away about the ‘city of...’. Because we know that love is definitely in the air in Paris, but the city of style is certainly true as well. And of course: during Fashion Week, the streets of all cities already breathe a delicious dose of fashion inspiration, but it’s always the Parisiennes who make my fashion heart beat the fastest. L to the ove for Paris because of the French fashion crowd. And this is what I have learned from them in the past few days:
Less is more
As Coco Chanel once said: ‘Look in the mirror before you leave the house and take one thing off.’ Simplicity is the secret of the Parisienne. From the finest jewelry to basic colors: it’s all about the right fashion balance in a French way.
A stripe ahead
The black-and-white Breton stripe wins over all prints. Forever and always.
Know your classics
Of course, the Parisiennes are also very on-trend, but their wardrobes mainly consist of classics. A trench coat, striped knit, turtleneck, vintage jeans, white blouse, and of course loafers are items that should be invested in if it’s up to the Frenchies.
A little turtleneck underneath
Under a suit, under a dress, under your tightly buttoned coat, but certainly also under a jumpsuit, skirt, T-shirt, sweater, and hoodie: daddy co(o)l it is!
Poodle naked
Go for pure nature. A thick layer of foundation, heavily bleached hair, or extremely curly hair are no-goes among the Parisiennes. A little mascara, light eyeshadow, and nonchi beach waves is what really steals the show.
Paint your crazy
Make sure your nails are well-filed and always have a coat of polish, with favorite colors: red, dark blue, and nude. Chipped nail polish and unkempt hands and feet detract from your appearance and, according to French fashion people, immediately take away all your femininity. So quickly schedule a mani/pedi!
Oversized
Always shop your items one or two sizes larger when it comes to sweaters, knits, and blazers, and you will see how cool it looks.
The not-so-perfect bangs
Deliberately postpone that hair appointment for a week, strands in your eyes and voilà: you rock the French bangs just like they wear them.
