French style of dress

The French style of clothing is a concept that I would like to designate as a combination of bold innovative ideas and excellent taste. In Paris, you can meet fashionistas on the streets who not only adhere to the latest high fashion trends, but also create them with their unbridled imagination.

With bated breath, the fashion world watched the appearance of models from the incomparable Coco Chanel, new exquisite outfits from the workshop of Christian Dior, and amazing elegance of things from Yves Saint Laurent. The famous fashion houses that set the tone on the catwalks were created in France and are associated with the French style of clothing.

Clothing, according to fashion designers from this country, should help open up the inner world of a woman. Therefore, the individuality and originality of the image are initially put at the forefront when creating impressive collections from famous fashion houses on the banks of the Seine. To be able to dress in the French style means to create amazing and sophisticated images from ordinary at first glance details.

For the fair sex of all ages, the concepts of elegance inherent in the French style remain unchanged. Here are a few principles that can help you achieve perfection when creating a fashionable look.

• Simplicity. Basic things in the wardrobe are selected very carefully.They tend to be multifunctional: a traditional little dress, plain t-shirts and scarves, a classic coat.
• Fitting on the figure. Clothing should “sit down” on your figure perfectly - not be too tight and, in no case, look baggy. Croy is the strength of fashion designers from France. They manage to emphasize all the advantages of the figure in one successful style, chosen for a specific type of female figure.

• Quality is above all. This rule applies not only to sophisticated linen in the best Parisian traditions, but also outerwear, as well as accessories, shoes and hats. It is better to buy one or two really expensive things than a few cheap ones of dubious quality. Natural materials and things harmoniously combined with each other, beautiful and status.
• Femininity. Whatever the outfit, it is designed to emphasize your femininity. Without this, the creation of a unique image becomes impossible. Fragility and grace, slight negligence and luxury finishes become noticeable only in perfectly fitting garments. For girls, elegance has become a real motto. Straight lines, fitted or loose fit - and sophistication always wins.

• Convenience. If young ladies can afford a spectacular or even extravagant outfit, then for middle-aged ladies, French fashion designers put forward comfort when creating clothes. This also means such a property of clothing as functionality in combination with no less comfortable shoes.

Shoes of the highest quality are offered mainly with low and stable heels. The outfit should look as if choosing it, the woman made no effort - she just opened a closet full of beautiful clothes.In fact, it is - French women never buy things just like that, not knowing what they will wear them with.

Among the variety of things there are a number of styles and models that are directly related to the beloved French style. These include, first of all, dresses - both romantic and strict business.

Casual dresses can be attributed to the classics. They are rarely very short or long. The main length is slightly above the knee. The styles are restrained, without deep cuts. The dress also serves as a base item for creating an evening look. This is the thing that brings aesthetic pleasure to the vast majority of women.

The Provence style brought light natural fabrics, embroidery and lace trims into fashion. Flying dresses with an amazing floral print are another characteristic feature of this style, which is loved by women with a romantic and tender soul.

French-style trousers are characterized by a shortened length, a narrowed down style. Skinny trousers look cute and charming and perfectly emphasize the dignity of the figure. A minimum of two pairs of trousers are required. In addition to the prevailing length of 7/8, they are distinguished by the absence of catchy elements in the form of snakes, rivets or patch pockets.

If we talk about skirts, then there are maxi and mini, models of a free silhouette. But still, French women give preference to pencil skirts and a tulip a little above or below the knee, wraparound styles. In particular, this rule is observed in a formal setting, where flared styles of skirts in most cases are not worn.

Midi is a truly favorite length of French fashionistas. Jackets and cardigans are available in the prevailing length to the middle of the thigh.Jackets have a straight shoulder line, narrow cuffs, a fitted or straight silhouette. Slender women prefer such a piece of clothing as a "ladies' tuxedo", fitted and elegant.

Truly French things can be called a classic vest (the invention of Coco Chanel) and a turtleneck, which perfectly demonstrates the curves of the figure.

The trench coat came into fashion from England. The style with an interesting collar and shoulder straps fascinated French women with its rigor and elegance. As outerwear, in addition to trench coats, traditional raincoats or straight coats made of cashmere fabric predominate.

Young girls from France love and wear, like the whole world, comfortable sports shoes - sneakers and sneakers, flat shoes. There are no restrictions on the choice of stylish shoes. But graceful high-heeled pumps are always in the wardrobe of a fashionable Parisian, because this type of footwear is given unconditional preference, especially when creating a business and evening look. The only type of shoes that does not look good with French-style clothes are high platform shoes and boots.

Practicality is the unspoken rule of French street fashion. In France, it is not customary to chase after every fashionable novelty. First of all, in order to always look attractive, the Frenchwoman makes up a wardrobe of basic things that will not lose their relevance for several years. Then, fashionable elements and items that are in trend today are gradually added to these things.

Thanks to the predominance of black, brown, as well as gray, blue and beige tones in the basic wardrobe, all clothes acquire versatility.After all, the elements in the outfit should be combined with each other, as well as make up a stylish set with accessories and shoes. French women have a particular fondness for neutral tweed.

When the main wardrobe is composed, you can add zest and color accents to it. As for the latter, only one bright accent is allowed in fashion; a white or light tone added to clothes, a striped detail or polka dots can create a contrast.

French stylists are very careful about jewelry. Either earrings or a bracelet, most often one of the two. Or spectacular original beads. It is not customary to overload a fashionable ensemble with accessories.

In order to make the image memorable and romantic, fashionistas use non-standard headwear - hats and berets, complete with beautiful scarves and scarves. Berets are worn straight or slightly shifted to one side. A French woman's scarf is worn not only in cool weather, wrapping it several times around her neck, but also as an addition to a summer ensemble. The material from which such a weightless scarf is made is light and translucent.

A nice-colored hat, a cute scarf and a high-quality handbag are three whales from among the accessories that give a special chic. They are based on a charming female image in the French style. And, of course, tinted glasses - not only as protection from the sun's rays, but also as a stylish decoration.

As for makeup and manicure, and especially carefully chosen hairstyles, they should demonstrate maximum naturalness. Decorative defiant make-up is not an example of good taste, as they believe here. In cosmetics, tones emphasizing the natural beauty predominate.The best way to emphasize the shine and well-groomed hair is popular hairstyles: curls or just loose hair over the shoulders.
