5 French Style Lessons
- Stacy
When we think of French style, we probably imagine someone who is well-dressed, in classic styles and neutral colors. Attention has been paid to fit and details. While timeless, she also manages to look au courant without trying too hard..
1 | Simplicity
When it’s done well, French/Parisian style looks well-put-together, but never fussy or overdone. There aren’t too many competing focal points.
2 | Cohesion
It’s not true that French women wear only black or neutrals, but neutrals do help create wardrobe cohesion. When they do wear color, it’s usually well-thought-out.
3 | Cohesion

4 | Emphasis On Quality, Endurance
