How to Be More French & the Secret to Elegance
PFW street style is infamous for it: effortless elegance. What's the secret to achieving the ultra chic, sophisticated ensemble without all the hassle? Let's discuss.
One | Invest in classic staples or statement pieces
A staple or statement piece ties your look together making it appear effortlessly chic and right off the high street. Neutrals and pastels are an essential color palette to have and can be worn with anything. The classic must-haves are always in and have you wanting to wear them again and again.
TOP TIP: Trench or wool coats, cashmere sweaters, a good watch, pearl earrings, understated heels or pointed flats, silk ribbon, and mini A-line skirt
Two | Clean lines, tailored fit
Meaning curate an outfit to define your silhouette. Go for items that add definition, length, and grace to your figure. Menswear pieces are a perfect trick and often lower in price than the women's version.
TOP TIP: This can be done with a classic button-down, blazer, A-line dress or skirt, floor length coats
Three | 50/50 Rule
Pair neutral or pastel items, minimal details, or clean lines with statement. Allow your jewelry and accessories to lead the outfit. This can also be done with stronger pieces in place of the statement accessories. Have your pieces work together and compliment one another seamlessly.
Four | Hone your scent
Choose a perfume that is versatile and never fades. A signature scent finalizes your look making you feel put together and polished.
TOP TIP: Don't be afraid to invest. A higher quality perfume has a better lasting scent and it will be long before you run out
Five | Good skincare
Build a covetable beauty routine. A little contour, glow from within skin, and mascara adds definition and compliments your ultimate ensemble.
