 The French chic,
refinement and elegance are key words to symbolize Paris. And the fame of this capital of
fashion and style commits to many things. The images from runways of the
seasonal Fashion Weeks is just one side of life. The other side is street
fashion style which is far different from the stereotype images of French
women.
French
women dress differently from woman to woman and it is too curious to
have a
look at what they wear for every day. On the one hand, the street
fashion ruins
all the stable cliché as the little black dress and tiny clutch as the
must-have attributes. On the other hand, the street fashion just
confirms that in
spite of many faces and variety of images it has charm and chic of Paris
for ever ages. The style is quite elusive at first sight.
Moderately cold
winter, dry and pleasant autumn and hot summer- all the climatic conditions
dictate the stylish laws to ladies. They have T-shirts and warm coats in their
wardrobes, which they can wear to create the ensemble. They also favor for
scarves for every day, not only for colder days. A rare Frenchman abnegates for
themselves the personal enjoyment to tie the knotted scarf or kerchief
casually. The scarves are opted to match any image, from summer wear to winter
warm ensembles when scarves work for function.
The other
feature that shows the street fashion peculiarity is restricted color gamut.
Predator animal prints, vivid and fancy shades appear rarely. The French street fashion
tends for the simplicity, and this is one major aspect to be the bench mark to
consider it on the whole. Deadness of shades and affected design are
compensated with many-layered style and also accessories are accentuated.
The complex
tailoring and asymmetry are rare to use for every day. However, the top with
the vest and the coat or jacket with ultra-long scarf over it is the quite
common image for Paris
streets.
Those who
adhere to traditions still favor for the close-fitting jackets, coats and
raincoats. They com as austere in style and they go perfectly with tops with
face prints.
Paris ladies love images subdued to the
black color, so called total black. Such choice absolutely requires details and
accessories of juicy colors to accentuate.
Accessories
is so called investment by ladies of various ages. A pair of shoes and a
handbag is the only detail to grab attention in the image of the Paris lady. And comfort dominates heremore than the quality.
The
legendary pair of letters LV
is believed to become the symbol of the city and this is true. The handbag by Louis
Vuitton is loved by lots of women and no matter how they are dressed when they
carry LV
handbag. Also the legendary quilted handbag of various sizes is matched with
austere and elegant ensembles. And this is Chanel and we just become numb when
it goes to the scene.
Sometimes the
factor of brand name yield to functionality of the item. So, ladies fancy for large
totes to room everything in Paris,
to be in favor for many seasons.
Shoes is
something like sacred animal to worship in Paris and this is reasonable in the
motherhood of the all-loved Christian Louboutin brand. The sporty style is not
liked that much, while high heels is what ladies delight. Classic shape of
heels to the designer solutions is what the frame is set for French street fashion. Though, there are
too many Frenchwomen who prefer walking on the earth not on high heels and
there are many of them wearing flats and ballerina shoes which also come
glamorous and stylish.
Gaudy
bijouterie is also required in Paris
which comes as colorful accessories of larger sizes in most cases to be
prominent and make impression, apart from the ever-lasting scarf.
The accessories
launched by Chanel, Chloé, Louis Vuitton and Dior are in great favor in here,
though ladies tend to save money for the basic apparel. The youth prefers affordable
clothing offered by H&M, Etam, Zara, Diesel, Morgan, Jennifer, Gap and
Promod which are far cheaper than those offered by reputed designers.
Coco Chanel
once stated that a woman is dressed perfectly when you cannot remember her
clothing. She was talking of elegance which exists but is not loud to cry of
it. And Frenchwomen do not chase the minimalism style. on the contrary, they
follow Coco and look unique not subdued to
fashion which, in its turn, is subdued to style.
