French women don’t pay much attention to fleeting-lived fashion trends and fads, rather they prefer the classic, timeless and well-tailored look. Staples in a Parisian woman’s wardrobe will include perfectly fitted jeans, a tailored blazer, cashmere sweaters, neutral satin blouses small black dresses and the evident staple: the classic black trench coat.

Here’s how you can copy the Parisian style to look elegant and timeless.

1) Make sure that anything you buy fits you perfectly and is tailored for your body type. Ensure your dresses accentuate your curves and tailors details of your body. If you find something you take place to like but it’s slightly huge, make sure you alter it at either at the boutique or at a recognized tailor.

2) Less is more in terms of accessorizing. Do not wear multiple pieces at once, but keep the femininity of a Parisian woman by wearing one fabulous piece and a dramatic red lip to tie your entire look together. Delicate gold bar necklaces are usually what the Parisian girl would wear around her neck.

3) Small details make the outfit. Make sure your outfit does not contain any wrinkles, flaws or thread pulls. This keeps your look polished and sophisticated. Also, keep your hands on par with fleeting and well-manicured nails.

4) Invest in staple pieces as opposed to pieces you won’t wear as often. $ 1,000 trench coat may sound costly, but it will last you for about 5 years rather than the $ 90 sweater you’ll wear twice.

5) Parisian women always have neutrals in their wardrobe. Black is a primary one and white, navy and nude are the must have colours that can be perfectly mixed with other neutrals. They are so simple and versatile. An outfit thought would include cropped white pants and a navy or white blouse. To simply dress it up, add a pair of bold sunglasses and ballet flats. Perfect for almost any occasion!

6) Flat footwear is the go-to shoe for a Parisian girl. They are practical and easy for them to walk on cobblestone streets.

7) The Parisian girl always radiates confidence and a positive mind-set when she walks down the streets of Paris. Not only is it vital to dress your best, if you dress for yourself and look confident while doing so (that means ditching the yoga pants and hoodies because you know it won’t make you feel as confident as a pair of black skinny jeans, blazer and scarf), you’ll end up feeling flawless and gorgeous!

Here are some Parisian inspired pieces that are sure to be a new staple piece in your wardrobe!
