5 Tips to dress Parisian Chic

If you go to Paris, France you will see that most women keep it simple but chic and classy at the same time. I was born and raised in Paris and the number 1 rule for most French women in my opinion is "less is more", your style has to look effortless even though a lot of though was put into your outfit.

here are 5 Tips on how to Be "Parisian Chic", I hope it will be helpful !

Tip # 1   Wear Fitted coats and jacket. In the summer you are not going to need to wear one but it is so important to make sure that the "Top layer" of your outfit is fitted and follows your body. You want to make we can see your curves. Curves are what makes us feminine :-)


{ Dolce & Gabbana - way out of my price range but just to give you an idea}

Tip # 2  Buy Basics. You can buy good quality basics that would last your for years. Basics never go out of style and you can add some trendy pieces to change it up when you want to. When I say Basics I mean skinny Jeans in a dark color with no rips, Blouses {I love silk blouses right now} in neutral colors {you can still buy bright colors for spring or summer}, Black heels and Black Dress {This is a Must}, Pencil skirt {right above the knee cap}. Navy, Grey and Black are flattering on most people so we cannot go wrong with these colors.

{ Skinny Jeans - I would ad a belt and tuck the shirt into the jean with this outfit}



{Christian Louboutin - On my must have list I want a Pair !!!!}
  Tip #3  Don't wear too much jewelry. Keep it simple, a small necklace, with some small earrings or a     statement ring. You can also wear scarfs, they are a great way to accessorize.

Tip # 4  Don't wear too much makeup. Again {lol} keep it simple. In France we like our face to look healthy and Fresh. We barely wear any eye makeup {unless we are going clubbing or something of that sort}. Most of the time all we wear is under eye concealer, foundation, bronzer or light blush and mascara. I would say that the skin care routine is the most important {you can splurge on that ;-)}.

Tip # 5 Wear Perfume. I do not know any women in France that does not wear Perfume. It really is the final touch. Most French women would splurge on perfume so they would go for a designer brand. There is nothing more feminine than a nice, clean, fresh smell that follows you anywhere you go !
