There are many things about my personal style that have changed since I started my career in fashion. I have developed a new-found appreciation for natural fabrics, my shoe collection has practically quadrupled, and I now understand that leggings are in-fact a wardrobe hero. Though there have been many changes, one thing that remains the same. If you were to ask me where I get my style inspiration from, I would point you towards the French.
I believe that the French have the rare ability to make their outfits look perfectly poised, yet somehow entirely effortless. With a good ten years of obsessing over their style, I’ve picked up a few tips and tricks that are well utilised by the French, that seem to set their style apart from the rest.
The French fashion-set are experts at working with the proportions of their clothing, making a long-line coat look neat and chic, rather than oversized and messy. Making their cropped jackets looks elegant and suave, rather than uncomfortable and stuffy. With their knee-high boots they’re even better. Pairing the trending style with everything from jeans to miniskirts, they seem to make the boots—which are often times difficult to style, look incredibly easy to work with.
