French Fashion Style Guide

"Guide to Chic French Womenswear and Clothing!"

French fashion style. Outfit from promod.com

French Fashion Style. So sleek. So chic. That's what I associate with French womenswear. The main reason why I created this page is to simply inspire you to implement the "less is more"-philosophy French women have had for several decades.

The French have been the pioneers of chic fashion for hundreds of years. From Chanel to Givenchy, they all share the same vision:

Smart, timeless, sophisticated yet feminine style!

You can easily notice French womens simplicity in their style. Yet they ooze of discreet sexiness that can make any man fall off their feet.

If you find French fashion appealing and you want to implement elements or the whole style of it into your very own, then you came to the right page. Oh yes, oui oui!

Not Every French Woman Dress Alike

Have in mind that not all French women dress like this. This is just a guideline that describes the foundations of French clothing style -- and you know, what's "typical" French.

Our world is pretty globalized so different types of ethnic cultures and younger generations have affected the way younger French women dress.

Like for example, take a look at these unconventional French fashion outfits:

Cool French street fashion urban outfits
As you can see, French fashion isn't always sleek. But you can still see some French hints in their outfits. Like the beret hat and couture'ish fur jacket to your left. And do you notice that the other girls are wearing blazers? But in different, slightly trendy designs?

Anyway. Let's put urban and grunge style to the side. You and I are going to focus onsleek, sophisticated French style:

Key Elements of French Fashion

What really sets French women a part from the rest is their sense of style, and not necessarily sense of wearing the hottest trends. Style and fashion are two different things. Style is more of how mix clothes to present your personality and not to mention your best features.

Ralph Lauren brings Wild West to NY Fashion Week

Ralph Lauren brought all the glamour that the Wild West probably never had to the runway on the final day of Spring-Summer 2011 New York Fashion Week.

The always influential Ralph Lauren show Thursday was a must for an army of fashion editors and buyers from Europe, Japan and Russia, not to mention representatives from big luxury clothing chains like Sak's, Bergdorf Goodman and Bloomingdale's. The most American of designers did not disappoint. His Western-cum-Victorian theme made a fantasy world out of Indians and pioneers with stylish squaws in tasseled white leather jackets and long fringed white skirts. They wore silver around their necks, often with dog collar necklaces, and crystals and turquoise encrusted on the buckles of their big leather belts. White dresses had the faded look that might come with a very elegant version of frontier life, complete with Victorian-era high necks and lace. And the fringes never stopped, adorning everything from ivory shirts to silvered dresses. The designer, who turns 71 in October, won an ovation from his many admirers as he appeared at the end of the show in leather trousers and white shirt.APF

How to Achieve a Unique Personal Style

The trick to achieving a unique style that is all you is to combine elements from different fashion styles. However, keep in mind that if you want to look chic you need to whip up a 50/50 combo of basic and trendy pieces to keep your outfit balanced (ex. avoid going all bohemian from top to toe. So make sure you've already secured the wardrobe essentials first before you start shopping for trends that are likely to fade in a couple of months.

French fashion is one of the chic'est look you can achieve. Chic fashion is highly influenced by the French - the sole founders of style: Smart, timeless and sophisticated style! It's classy but a bit sassy.

It's not difficult to look like you came out from the streets of Paris -- achieving a French fashion style is to mix wardrobe staples and self-confidence!

Bohemian fashion is my personal favorite when it comes to style, so that's why I want to share some of my tricks and tips on how to achieve a modern boho-chic look. Looking chic is never stiff, it's free-flowing and effortless. I especially love howbohemian style clothing looks so casual yet pretty a bit exotic.

One of the best ways to elevate your personal style is to make it look interesting by adding a bit of vintage fashion. Somewhere in the baskets and racks of mothball-smelling grandma skirts and scarves lies a perfect jewel waiting to connect with your style persona. You'll find vintage clothingalmost everywhere. Vintage fashion ranges from the early 1900's to 1990's so you might find something that will work for you. I think my tips on adding vintage to your style and how to buy vintage clothes online and offline will help you get started.

For a fresh look try seeking fashion inspiration from the streets in metropolitan cities like Paris, Barcelona, Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong etc.

Note: "Street fashion? As in gangster..??"

Ha ha. Of course not. It's just a cool way of saying fashion from around the globe. As in fashion by people on the street.

And why not add some eco friendly clothing to your wardrobe as well? It's a great way to wear clothes without draining our earth's natural resources. Now I'm not going to dress like hippie and start chanting:"Save our earth" and preach about being one of earth's children. I'm just saying that it's the small things that counts that can make a difference in our nature's and environment's health. How about start using a reusable shopping bag when picking up groceries? It's the least we can do if you don't want to invest in a new wardrobe of organic made clothes.
