1. Mother

You should look towards your mother as your ultimate style icon; that is what most French women do! She looks fab all of the time, so why wouldn’t you want to take tips and inspiration from her? Also, she gives you a good indication of what you are going to look like in a few decades!

2. Legs

Whenever the weather permits, you should be getting those legs out for everyone to see! A woman’s legs are one her best assets, not just in terms of looking attractive, but in terms of wearing clothes well and achieving killer looks.

3. Sensible Heels

Only wear high heels that you can actually walk in, because if you pick a pair that are too much for you, you will look good sitting down but it’s no good if you can’t walk from A to B! You’ll spend so much time trying to stay on your feet that your style will go out the window.

4. Tailoring

Tailoring is super important if you want to achieve a sophisticated French style. Having clothing that really fits you well can add so much elegance and maturity.

Discover the mystique and charm of historical garments with our carefully curated inspiration from the medieval era. If you're seeking authenticity for a theme party or costume event, here are some truly renaissance outfit ideas that will transport you back in time. Evoke the spirit of grand festivities with fashion that celebrates tradition and craftsmanship. Embrace a different period, dress up and have fun!

5. Defined Waist

Try to make sure that you subtly define your waist at all times, no matter what kind of outfit you are wearing. It’s really important that you give yourself that feminine shape that exudes French chicness.

6. Flirty

Never be afraid to wear something flirty. Your choice of clothing doesn’t have to be about what you want other people do think, it can also be about how you are feeling in yourself, and expressing your sassiness.

7. Outerwear

Always invest in a few stellar pieces of outerwear that can pair with multiple different outfits. It is almost like having a signature coat or jacket that acts as your piece de resistance!

8. Simplicity

If you are someone who likes to wear a lot of accessories, make sure to pare down your outfits and make them more simple so that the overall effect doesn’t look too over the top.

9. Holiday Clothes

Don’t be afraid to wear your holiday clothes all year round if the weather permits! French women have far too much style to have their wardrobes be dictated by seasonal rules!

10. Nonchalant

And lastly, you need to be nonchalant at all times! Master that attitude of looking great but looking like you only took three seconds to put your outfit together!
