The white shirt can be worn on all days of the week in Paris, during the daytime, evenings and nights. It all depends on the combination. A perfect shirt is made of a refined quality and shows no unnecessary detailing. The perfect fit differs per women, but we particularly love the straight, slightly oversized silhouette.
Without bleached and unnecessary details - Parisian women opt for a plain, deep dark blue wash that leaves all the room for the perfect fit to be the center of attention. The additional benefit is that plain dark blue jeans are easy to style for both casual and more dressy looks.
When - like in Paris - a blazer is key for every day, that one perfect blazer simply doesn’t exist. Maybe you’ll want to wear a tailored style to work and a more oversized version off-duty. The solution? Invest in your ideal blazer collection - from more tailored, basic versions to cool, rock-chic designs in a stylish color palette.
You’ll seldomly see women in Paris strut around in sneakers. When a lot of walking dominates your day - which makes wearing pumps all day a no-go - it’s often mules or loafers that Parisians parade around in.
Fitted, oversized or short sleeved - the turtleneck is a permanent part of the fashion scene in Paris and they’re perfect for our Dutch weather as well. Collect different versions so you can mix it up by wearing solo and layered. With warmer weather, opt for turtleneck T-shirts.
According to the Parisian woman, it shouldn’t matter if the perfect black pumps hurt when you’re walking if they look great. Parisiennes always carry a back-up pair of flats in their bag.
The perfect everyday bag in Paris is stylish, made of (vegan) leather and most of all big. Why big? To fit everything you need for the entire day in it. Think healthy snacks, that extra pair of flats when your heels are killing you and essential make-up products to make your transition from daytime to nighttime appointments as flawless as possible.
Okay, so now that you know what the 7 essentials for a Parisian-chic wardrobe are, how are you supposed to wear them? The Parisian woman breathes timeless silhouettes in basic colors but always adds a fashionable twist to her look. This can be in the shape of subtle studs, metallic or gemstone details for a rock-chic touch or with statement print or items - like an XL printed scarf, bright colored bag or a Breton stripe. In a nutshell: keep it simple and add a twist.
