Seriously? I’d wear this outfit everyday if I could look half as glamorous as this woman. It’s total perfection!
French women always seem to look effortlessly beautiful. Simple, elegant, and flawlessly put together. What are the secrets to making this look work?
- Focus on the Details: The best parts of this outfit? The subtle Swiss dot pattern on the shirt. The slight gathering of the neckline. The layering of textures. The embroidery on the bag. The intricate straps on the heels. Fabulous details make a basic outfit come to life.
- Big and Bold Accessories: There’s nothing like a great pair of sunglasses and a large bag to help pull a look together. Even if I’m just wearing sweatpants (something a French woman would never be caught wearing, I’m sure!), I instantly feel more glamorous when I’m rocking some big sunglasses — the bigger the better.
- Don’t Over Do It: Putting together a beautiful, chic look requires a bit of restraint. Keeping with just one color is an incredibly sophisticated and easy way to pull any outfit together. If there’s anything we’ve learned from French woman, you don’t need to wear something loud to make a big statement.
