French Style Rules

Bonjour! There is something about the French-style in fashion. Many women get their inspiration from it. But why? Well, France and fashion have always been a perfect, stylish pair. Many iconic fashion designers either started in or were from France. This includes Coco Chanel, Hubert de Givenchy, Christian Dior and many more. French-style is elegant and effortlessly chic. Most importantly, it is about enhancing your beauty. Here are the top five French girl style rules to follow and some of the top items they wear on a day-to-day basis.

Rule:1
Be Effortlessly Chic
This is one of the biggest French fashion rules. Parisians never look like they spend hours picking out an outfit or doing their makeup. First, to be chic is to dress sophisticated and classy but also trendy and stylish. Second, to be effortless is to not try too hard and be comfortable in the clothes you are wearing.

Rule:2
Invest in Quality over Quantity
Instead of buying a lot of different items, try to save up your money to buy a good quality piece of clothing. By doing this, your clothes will last longer than one season. It is a fact that some designer pieces or even good quality items will last for years, if not decades. Although it is usually more expensive, in the long run, you could be saving more money by buying less. French girls would rather have a few good quality pieces in their closets, then a multitude of lower-cost items.

Rule:3
Basic Pieces
French-style includes simple designs and neutral colors. Parisians usually wear basic pieces of clothing. Doing this keeps your style classic and chic because these pieces are always trendy. Wearing the basics can also help you have a lot of different outfit designs. You can typically pair them with almost anything.

Rule:4
A Tailored Fit
French women buy clothing that fits them best. They take the time to try on different sizes to find the perfect fit. If it does not fit perfectly, a French woman would rather go for clothing that is a little oversized than skin tight.

Rule:5
Less is More
When dressing, keep in mind that moins est plus (less is more). If you are going to wear a statement piece, wear some basics with it. French women, usually wear delicate jewelry and pay attention to proportions of what they are layering. They have a very minimalist style.
