Among the classics—berets, trench coats and ballet flats, lie the subtleties of French dressing that bring the Je nais se quois, so to speak. Ankle skimming jeans, pointelle vests and slingback flats are among some of the modest heroes that make up the foundations. Although French style lends itself to monochromatic dressing, a French woman’s wardrobe is incomplete without an injection of colour. Whether that’s accents on a floral slip dress, a rouge-lip or parakeet toned dress, like the ones shown below.
Wrap dresses, short sleeve blouses, cropped knits and embroidered stitching, are among designs you may probably associate with French girl chic. When it comes to accessories, the same aesthetic applies— bags are small, but statement. French women aren’t opposed to embossed monikers, or monogram prints – it is the home of Chanel and Jacquemus, after all.
