How to Dress Like a French Editor

French women have the best style. They wear the simplest pieces; yet, look like they stepped off of a fashion show runway. So, what do you need to try to emulate fashion’s favorite French fashionistas? You probably already have most of the essentials already. Just remember to stay in the neutral zone when selecting colors -black, white, beige, grey. Few bright colors and leopard-print are optional.

 Any street style follower knows, French style requires the basics: blazers and t-shirts, button-up shirts, and a leather jacket. French style is definitely no frills or fuss. Keep your look simple and classic.

Tastefully, showing off your silhouette is a must! Skinny jeans, skinny leather pants, trousers, pencil skirts, and a leather mini skirt are essential, if you want to dress like a French style maven.

Shoes

Shoes that are comfortable, yet sexy will always accent your look. Be sure to have a great pair of comfy black pumps, strappy sandals, tall/over-the-knee boots, and some ankle booties.


Accessories

Remember to keep your accessories classic also. A simple black belt, oversized fedora hat, minimal dainty jewelry, and the occasional leopard-print accents will make your new French style look pop.
