It’s no secret that Paris is one of the most stylish cities in the world. We all love the runway looks from Fashion Week but what’s got our attention is the street style. You’ve seen the images on style blogs and in our very own magazine and now you can dress up like a Parisian fashionista wherever you are!
Here’s how to nail Parisian street style this winter:
Stock up on stockings
Winterise short and summery pieces like shorts, jumpsuits, denim dungarees and mini-skirts by wearing them with black stockings. Make sure they’re the thick type so you can keep warm. Match them with ankle boots and a coat, oversized cardigan or boyfriend blazer and you’ve got yourself a great look for autumn and the warmer days in winter. It’s also a great day-to-night transitional look.
Act like a lady, dress like a man
Menswear for women is big this year, so try wearing fitted chinos with a white shirt, brogues and blazer. Top it off with a bow tie or tie and even a briefcase! Two- or three-piece pant suits are also perfect for the office. Add a simple heel and wear your hair a sleek bun or ponytail.
Remember the essentials
Make essential pieces the cornerstone of your outfit. Camel coats, denim shirts, white shirts, blue jeans are classic pieces that you can mix and match with other items of clothing.
Add some texture with leather
Leather is the ultimate winter material. Go for key pieces like skirts, shorts and jackets. They go with just about anything and you can dress them up for the office or wear them over the weekend on a night out. Leather skinnies are versatile and very trendy right now – have a look at our advice for styling leather skinnies.
Accessorise, accessorise, accessorise!
Go bold with colourful accessories to liven up your outfit. From shoes and structured tote bags and clutches, to statement bracelets and necklaces, shades in fun colours and shapes, gloves, scarves and belts – accessories are a fun and easy way of splashing some colour on to winter’s usually neutral palette.
