The 11 style rules according to French women

Paris women are famous around the world for their style and their ability to present themselves in different ways. But don’t think that to adopt a similar style you need to live in a French movie set, like them, or have the same purchasing power; just follow some simple and very specific rules.

Check out the main secrets of this style and understand how a true Parisian dresses.

A stiletto heel and a very high platform definitely do not match the style of the Paris woman. Even if after work they agree to go out with someone, or to go to an exhibition, they do not give up comfortable shoes. French women, while they love feminine style, always put themselves first. So don’t think they’re going to torture themselves with uncomfortable shoes; on the contrary, they always opt for something simple, laconic and suitable both for work and for going out at night.

Parisians, regardless of age, like naturalness above all because they believe that every woman has a different beauty and that she deserves to be valued. They only depend, of course, on the lighting of the place, but that nobody can control. To highlight the beauty during the day, apply a light mascara on the lashes, a touch of blush and an unflattering lip pencil. The ‘heavy artillery’ in the form of a dense base, strong strokes and a very prominent pencil is only used at night. During the day, charming Parisians think it’s in bad taste to go out with such a heavy face.

Perhaps red is the great passion of French women when it comes to the mouth. In every French woman’s arsenal, you are very likely to find at least one red lipstick. With the help of this magic wand, a Parisian woman manages to completely change her image. The daytime look turns into nighttime without having to go to the house, just with a good red pencil that can make great transformations.

French women definitely don’t like fancy hairstyles; they usually wear braids or ponytails with a tousled touch. For them, the most beautiful and the most modern is in the natural. A few strands out of place are always welcome so that good old French style appears.

French girls almost never wear just one dress to define their entire look; instead, they often mix different pieces of clothing into a single look🇧🇷 The result, obviously, cannot be overstated and cannot look too ‘perfect’. It is always important to add a touch of carelessness. That’s why Coco Chanel said, “If a woman impresses you with her beauty, but you don’t remember what she was wearing, that means she was dressed perfectly well.”

Parisians prefer to buy cheap clothes and spend more on something that really matters: their hair. The value of an outfit doesn’t matter much, but a wrong haircut, or an inappropriate color, are serious problems for them.

That’s why haircuts are very elegant, for example the carré, O waiter or the bob, which have been in use for a long time and remain super popular. The Parisian cut is not just a hairstyle: it is what defines a woman’s lifestyle and character. Experienced hairdressers always tend to give the cut a careless look, and they do their best so that the woman can easily maintain the cut on a daily basis.

Scarves, gloves, glasses and stylish jewelry. These are the big details that create a solid foundation for what one Parisian calls ‘light style’. The style can be monochromatic and the pieces can be simple, but the accessories are what usually make these women’s style stand out. A beautiful scarf or a beautiful hat can transform a woman’s appearance in the blink of an eye.

You will never see a bra push up in a French woman. They love beautiful underwear, but they never stop thinking about naturalness as a key aspect. Comfort, natural shapes and light fabrics are always the most used. For them, lingerie is a key piece in the closet. In addition, in the heart of the French capital you can find many old shops that have been manufacturing and selling lingerie for many decades. And the process of buying underwear is a sacred ritual for them.

French women prefer to choose quality pieces from an unknown brand rather than a super famous brand. The image always keeps a space for mystery, so showing up with a shirt with the name of a brand, for them, is a sign of bad taste. So, we can only guess if the wonderful and unknown outfit costs a lot of money or is just the result of the good taste of a woman who knows very well how to combine different cheap clothes.

She always carries sunscreen, a hat and a light, long-sleeved T-shirt. French women are sure that tanned skin ages, so they take great care of themselves. Perhaps this behavior is inherited from an idea from the 19th century, when the tan among the aristocracy was not only unacceptable, it was indecent. ‘Porcelain’ skin was therefore a clear indicator of a woman’s wealth and status.

Whether it’s clothes, makeup or accessories, French style doesn’t just refer to what they wear, but to a lifestyle. A true Parisian is elegant and balanced because, above all, she respects herself. She likes to take care of herself and make a good first impression. She loves her body and doesn’t wear it down with crazy diets. French women know that only a woman who knows how to enjoy life is truly beautiful.
