The elegance of a French woman is accessible to any lady, if only she knows how to follow the norms of French style in clothing. One wonderful rule will help you learn to dress in French. We will tell you about it and its action.
“Five - one”: the French win!
The simple genius of a truly French wardrobe comes down to the simple rule of “five - one”. We take the five most important basic items in our wardrobe and add just one accessory.
It looks like this, for example.
Five items of clothing
Shirt or blouse
Definitely white and classic cut! The possibility of an infinite number of combinations begins with it.
Jeans
High-quality and without fashionable “excesses” like rhinestones or embroidery.
Reference! Bright decor is not prohibited, but it is not suitable for a basic item.
Solid pullover
Ideally, from thin cashmere. Colors: blue, beige, gray.
Jacket
Can be replaced with a trench coat. Coloring in similar shades.
Shoes
You can wear any shoes without heels: ballet flats or loafers.
One accessory
Complementing such an ensemble expensive leather bag contrasting colors, there is no doubt: all the canons of a truly French wardrobe are observed!
The rule of five things will help you avoid cluttering your closet with unnecessary clothes.. By the way, it is recommended to get rid of it from time to time, giving it to those in need, using it as a handmade item, or simply throwing it away.
Advice! Having compiled a basic set, supplement it with no more than five “non-basic” items per season.
What other things can be included in a wardrobe in French?
Basic things include everything that can be worn almost to the point of wear without going out of fashion. Such clothes will help you create a variety of ensembles - trendy and classic. Of course, its quality must be high (which does not mean an exorbitant price).
Important! Convenience is the best friend of elegance! Are your shoes getting in the way of your flying gait, are your jeans too tight, are your dresses riding up? Find them a worthy replacement!
In addition to the five items of clothing already listed, the wardrobe of French women will contain the following items:
- T-shirts - white, gray and black;
- little black dress - no one has ever come up with anything more elegant;
- silk evening blouse;
- cotton shirt;
- denim shirt;
- striped long sleeve;
- suit - trouser or with a skirt, the “partners” of which can be included separately and in other sets;
- light colored cardigan;
- skinny jeans - black or dark gray;
- blue boyfriend jeans;
- skirt - pencil or trapezoid;
- Leather Jacket;
- classic cut wool coat.
Having collected the “backbone” of your wardrobe, you can supplement it with new things. It’s better to do this according to a pre-compiled list: it will protect you from spontaneous purchases, save time and money!
Important! Collections of shoes, accessories and jewelry should not be redundant.
- Three pairs of shoes are more than enough for the season: snow-white sneakers, classic low-heeled pumps, moccasins - and you’re almost Sophie Marceau!
- Three bags in neutral colors will be enough: a light leather tote, a black or dark gray Birkin, and a small elegant clutch.
How to achieve French elegance
- You can look like a true Frenchwoman if you learn correctly place color accents of traditional basic colors: white and black, gray and blue, beige and shades of powder. Moderately bright accents of makeup and a hairstyle that does not create the impression that you left the hairdresser five minutes ago will help to brighten up this deliberate pallor.
Important! Having painted your lips with bright red lipstick, keep in mind: there should be no other bright accents!
- Excess jewelry is a serious mistake French style. Did you put on earrings? Let the necklace and bracelet lie in the box until next time. French women like to use silk scarves and shawls as additional decorations..
- Stiletto heels are allowed in the office and at formal events. For the street, only low and wide heels are possible.
- Separate requirements for perfume: it should only be expensive and used very sparingly.
- Simplicity, moderation, individuality are the three pillars of truly French elegance, allowing you to competently combine fashionable and universal, democratic and luxury brand.
