No heels. Euro Chic is VERY Modern Classic though - just a little more gritty and practical.”</p> <p>Also, per Angie from two years ago in this thread (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-anyone-what-is-euro-chic)" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-anyone-what-is-euro-chic" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-euro-chic</a>)</a>:</p> <p>“It's a look that's: casual, simple, fashionable and practical in a dressy way - with a wee bit of drama thrown into the mix. Always good bag and shoes. Always good quality clothing. More Polished than RATE. Not too many accessories. Light make-up. A little trendy, and very urban. More neutral than colourful. Shoes are often flat or low heeled (most European people commute on foot on cobbled stones).”</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-modern-classic-and-euro-chic#post-1250811 Tue, 13 May 2014 20:57:32 +0000 MsMaven 1250811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes what is the answer? &nbsp;Us Lazybones--er--whatever we are, pretend we have work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-modern-classic-and-euro-chic#post-1250798 Tue, 13 May 2014 20:35:53 +0000 rachylou 1250798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol So what's your answer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-modern-classic-and-euro-chic#post-1250783 Tue, 13 May 2014 20:08:17 +0000 danskogirl 1250783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, rachylou!</p> <p>And, actually, I found my own answer with a search for "Euro Chic" on this site. (Of course, it didn't occur to me to do that search until AFTER I had posted the question, LOL.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-modern-classic-and-euro-chic#post-1250781 Tue, 13 May 2014 20:06:01 +0000 rachylou 1250781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I think Euro Chic, I think sneakers a lot like Campers, lighter-weight denims, and red-but-not-bright windbreakers with blue and green stripes. Students hanging out and meeting up in museums. Either that or French Chic involving lots of darkest navy. </p> <p>Modern Classic I think of as being more, I don't know, grown up? You're not still reading Sartre and arguing about Nietzsche. You have work.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-modern-classic-and-euro-chic#post-1250758 Tue, 13 May 2014 19:45:43 +0000 danskogirl 1250758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm working on pinning down my style. So far I know I'm an Urban Minimalist with Arty Eclectic leanings. It's the third part of my leanings -- the one that goes toward a little more polish, though definitely nothing stiff or too&nbsp;ladylike -- that I'm a little uncertain about labeling.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm thinking the right descriptor&nbsp;might be Modern Classic or Euro Chic. What, to your mind, is the difference (or even the similarities)&nbsp;between the two?&nbsp; </p> <p>(UPDATE: It occurred to me only after I had already posted the question to do a search on this site for "Euro Chic." That search basically answered my own question.)</p>
