Parisian Style Tips

Do you ever find yourself envious of the effortless cool-girl chic look that only French girls seem to pull off? I know I do every time I check out my Insta feed and see the likes of Jeanne Damas, Julia Restoin Roitfeld and all of the Chloé girls. While the Parisian style gives off that effortless vibe, mastering it is somewhat tricky. Lucky for you, we have a few tips and tricks!

1. Red lips. It’s no secret that the French love their red lipstick, for any and every occasion. Do your makeup like a Parisian by keeping the rest of your look clean and simple. The key is to keep a fresh, glowing face and a few swipes of mascara to open your eyes, while leaving your lips the focal point of the look.

2. Striped top. The classic French girl look wouldn’t be complete without a striped, usually three-quarter length top. Pair it with your favorite skinny jeans and a perfect ballet flat and you’re ready to go.

3. All black. Whether this is an LBD or a black blouse and skinny jeans, an all black look is always a good idea. Not only is black slimming, but the neutral color scheme gives off that certain je ne sais quois vibe French girls are famous for.

Once you’ve mastered these three easy tips, you’ll be looking like a French girl in no time!
