What is about effortless French style? How would you explain our secrets?<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

I think the key to effortless French style’ is that the French have an intrinsic ability to balance what is understated and easy. They highlight their best assets (which lucky for them, seem infinite) with well-made clothes that are thoughtfully chosen. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Let’s talk about French women \u2013 what do they do that is so special?<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

The French woman may give off a carefree attitude, but she puts a lot of consideration into her clothes. Rather than giving into fast fashion she prefers clothes that are classic and versatile. It’s why she never seems like she’s trying too hard, and can go out at night in a button down and flats and still look provocative.<\/p>\n

That sounds kind of boring though, don<\/span>\u2019t you think? <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

No not at all! For all the timelessness and simplicity of a French woman\u2019s wardrobe, she never, ever looks boring \u2013 that\u2019s what is so effortless about it all. I think it\u2019s thanks
\nto the fun pieces she adds into the mix of year-round staples. In the spring, I really like how French women look to things like bright prints, pastels, and colorful stripes to liven up their neutral basics.<\/p>\n

Well of course! Don<\/span>\u2019t New Yorkers do that too? <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

No, sadly not. Everyone here is always dressed in black.
\nThe whole city looks like it\u2019s attending a giant funeral all the time – even in the summer!
\nI like how French women are more whimsical when it comes
\nto fashion. They have no problem wearing a hot pink cape in the rain or a pair of pants printed with a ton of tiny neon foxes.<\/p>\n

Yes, it<\/span>\u2019s one of the French<\/span>\u2019s many talents. What else do you admire about how french women dress? <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s nice how they value impeccable craftsmanship and special details in clothing \u2013 like artisanal embroideries and pearl buttons. The tailoring and maintenance involved in their wardrobes never ceases to amaze me too. Even their white tennis skirts always look perfect – not one orange clay court stain in sight. That\u2019s quite the feat. Maybe it\u2019s a sign that there\u2019s a lot of secret bleach in your water. I also really like how a French woman grooms herself \u2013 especially her hair.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

But what do you like about her hair? <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

It’s a mess and she doesn’t care – like she slept on some rough couch all night, woke up the next morning and went to work without looking in the mirror. It sounds awful in theory but somehow she pulls it off. She also has great taste in shoes.<\/p>\n

It seems like you think she has great taste in everything – what is so good about her shoes too? <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

A French woman wears shoes that are polished and feminine, but practical. I like how she gravitates towards crisp plimsoll sneakers and flats with tiny heels. They\u2019re both cute and are really intelligent choices when you consider how she has to navigate Paris’s cobblestone streets all day.<\/p>\n

Well that<\/span>\u2019s because French people are supremely smarter than everyone else, obviously. So if you were to take a wild guess, what do you think the French woman will be wearing with her perfect hair and shoes this summer? <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I think her effortless traditions will continue, but with a chic, sporty update. She\u2019ll look to the Sixties for classic silhouettes like pleated skirts, polo shirts, and collared dresses.
\nBut true to form, she\u2019ll throw in a pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance for good measure \u2013 a neon top or metallic skirt has never looked so chic.<\/p>
