I admit to being obsessed with “French style”, even though I know there’s a darker side to the whole mythology of it. I just want to wear a beret and a Breton and look effortless, that’s all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-don%e2%80%99t-have-to-be-french-to-be-a-parisian#post-2105030 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 19:27:29 +0000 Sal 2105030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't watched the video yet but enjoyed The Guardian article - I always like Jess Cartner- Morley's writing.</p> <p>It has been a long time since I visited Paris (or France) so I can't comment on what is current in street style.&nbsp; But I agree that even classic styles evolve.</p> <p>And yes a few pops of red would suit you Notsaf - a scarf on your bag or a midi skirt or some summer shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-don%e2%80%99t-have-to-be-french-to-be-a-parisian#post-2105001 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 17:20:30 +0000 rachylou 2105001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting about the subtle evolution of French chic. That’s sort of one of the things Angie has taught me - to stop with the monolithic categorisation of clothing (it’s a top! it’s a bottom!). The small details make all the difference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-don%e2%80%99t-have-to-be-french-to-be-a-parisian#post-2104899 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 11:17:34 +0000 nemosmom 2104899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Alexa's series!&nbsp; Especially the episode with Caroline De Maigret (one of my style icons)!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-don%e2%80%99t-have-to-be-french-to-be-a-parisian#post-2104893 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 10:15:00 +0000 notsaf 2104893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Living in the UK at the moment, I find myself thinking about Parisian chic without it feeling *entirely* inauthentic. Here are a few things I've enjoyed:</p> <p>Jess Cartner-Morley on "the getting-dressed equivalent of speaking holiday-French"&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/mar/04/how-to-dress-like-a-parisian-big-coats-monochrome-and-a-splash-of-crimson">https://www.theguardian.com/fa.....of-crimson</a></p> <p>and</p> <p>Alexa Chung on "Franglais" style<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwwFPGIpnZJyMDsu1puU4GtGeoDJdCeSO">https://www.youtube.com/playli.....GeoDJdCeSO</a></p> <p>Anyway, just leaving these here and thinking about maybe adding a couple more pops of red this summer... </p>
