When it comes to good style, the French play in the first division. They manage to look elegant, fashionable and ultra-casual at the same time – and apparently without any effort. One might think that our neighbors have taken their flair for fashion with breast milk. So it is only logical that we at fashionistas like Caroline de Maigret or Jeanne Damas take a close look at what is possible for us in terms of style.
And so much in advance: The it-pieces of the French girls for this spring are so très chic that they quickly landed on our shopping list. We'll tell you which five favorite pieces the French (and we!) Can't do without in the coming months.
1.Knitted cardigan
The knitted cardigan has finally given up its granny image and made its big comeback last winter. And such a brilliant revival doesn't suddenly end in spring! The French can no longer do without and combine the trend piece with everything that has not disappeared behind three mountains of clothes. But under two conditions: it is cropped and boxy cut or casual oversize. In addition, striking buttons – et volià.
2. Midi dresses with print
When it comes to clothes, the French don't do things by halves this spring. The mini dresses stay in the closet for now, instead dresses in midi length are very popular. Her favorite: models in trendy cream tones and with a print. On the other hand, everyone is free to decide whether to wear flowers or polka dots – the main thing is that the airy dresses make you happy and also sell the last winter blues. Oh, and shhh! It becomes even more French if you combine said clothes to cardigans. We only say: C'est fantastique!
3. Blouses with puff sleeves
Sleeves are currently THE topic in the fashion world – so it's no wonder that our French neighbors have long been passionate about it. Particularly popular: simple shirts or blouses with puff sleeves. Fashionistas wear them with cool vintage jeans and take their look to the next style level. So we should cut off a large slice of them and receive the voluminous sleeves with open wardrobe doors.
4. Vintage denim
Speaking of jeans! The robust trousers are the basic of the basics and therefore rightly belong to the uniform of the style-conscious French women. So far, however, they have mainly used sexy skinny jeans, spring 2020 is all about vintage denim. The models are cut further, cropped and sit high in the waist. For the perfect look à la francais now only a basic shirt and a few flats are missing. Oh, and maybe the must-have that follows …
5. Leather blazer
… because that really adds the icing on the cake to every look. A leather blazer is super cool, edgy and super trendy, without appearing too wanted. In short: it couldn't be more French! For the perfect style, you should pick a model in trendy cream / brown tones and pay attention to details such as a shortened cut or a waist belt. Since the leather blazer is already eye-catcher enough, French women are holding back with the rest of the outfit.
