French style

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

With a sinking heart, the fashion world watched the appearance of models from the incomparable Coco Chanel, the new exquisite outfits that came out of the workshop of Christian Dior, and striking with the grace of things from Yves Saint Laurent. Famous fashion houses, which set the tone on the catwalks, were created in France and are associated with the French style of dressing.

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

For women of all ages, the concepts of elegance inherent in the French style remain unchanged. Here are a few principles that can help achieve excellence in creating a fashionable image.

• Simplicity. Basic items in the wardrobe are selected very carefully. They are usually multifunctional: a traditional little dress, plain T-shirts and scarves, a classic coat.
• Landing on the figure. The clothes should “sit down” on your body perfectly - not to be too tight and, in any case, not to look baggy. Croy is a strong point of fashion designers from France. All the advantages of the figure they manage to emphasize in one successful style, chosen for a particular type of female figure.

• Quality is paramount. This rule applies not only to refined 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, dubious quality. Natural materials and harmoniously combined things beautiful and status.
• Femininity. Whatever the outfit, he urged to emphasize your femininity. Without this, the creation of a unique image becomes impossible. Fragility and grace, easy carelessness and luxury of finishing become noticeable only in perfectly fitting garments. For girls, elegance has become a real motto. Straight lines, fitted or loose fit - and refinement always wins.

• Convenience. If young ladies can afford a spectacular or even extravagant outfit, then for middle-aged ladies, French designers put comfort into the forefront when creating clothes. This means such a property of clothing as functionality in combination with equally comfortable shoes.

Shoes of the highest quality are offered mainly on a low and stable heel. The dress should look as if choosing a woman, she did not put any effort - just opened a closet full of beautiful clothes. In fact, it is - French women never buy things just like that, not knowing with what they will wear them.

Among the variety of things there are a number of styles and models that are directly related to the favorite French style. These include, first of all, dresses - as a romantic direction, 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. Models discreet, without deep cuts.The dress also serves as the base item for an evening look. This is the thing that brings aesthetic pleasure to the vast majority of women.

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

For trousers in the French style is characterized by a shortened length, narrowed down style. Narrow trousers look cute and charming and perfectly emphasize the dignity of the figure. A trouser requires at least two pairs. 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 overhead noticeable pockets.

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

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

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

Coat trench coat came into vogue from England. The style with an interesting collar and shoulder-straps fascinated French women with its rigor and elegance. As outerwear, besides trench coats, traditional raincoats or straight cashmere coats prevail.

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 elegant shoes with high heels are always in the wardrobe of a fashionable Parisian woman, because this type of shoe is given absolute preference, especially when creating a business and evening look. The only type of footwear that does not look with French-style clothing is shoes and boots on a high platform.

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 the wardrobe of the basic things that will not lose relevance for several years. Then fashionable elements and objects that are in trend are gradually added to these things.

Due to the predominance of black, brown and gray, blue and beige tones in the basic wardrobe, all clothes acquire versatility. After all, the elements in the dress should be combined with each other, as well as be a stylish set with accessories and shoes. The French are particularly fond of neutral Tweed.

When the main wardrobe is made, you can add a highlight and color accent. Regarding the latter, only one bright accent is allowed in fashion, white or light tone added to the garment can create a contrast, a detail with stripes or polka dots.

French stylists treat jewelry very carefully. Or earrings, or a bracelet, most often one of two things. Or spectacular original beads. Overload accessories fashionable ensemble is not accepted.

In order to make the image memorable, and the look romantic, women of fashion use non-standard hats - hats and berets, complete with beautiful scarves and shawls. Berets are worn straight or slightly shifted to one side. French women wear a scarf not only in cool weather, wrapping it several times around the neck, but also as a supplement to the summer ensemble.The material from which such a weightless scarf is made is light and translucent.

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

With regard to makeup and manicure, and especially carefully selected hairstyles - they must demonstrate the maximum naturalness. Decorative geeky makeup is not a sample of good taste, as they say here. Cosmetics dominate emphasizing the natural beauty of tone. Shine and well-groomed hair is best emphasized by popular hairstyles: curls or just loose hair.
