What I Learned from French Style

What I Learned from French Girl Style

Here’s what I learned from studying French style…


(Disclaimer: I am guilty of watching French stylists for hours on YouTube, reading blogs and books, but I actually haven't been to Europe… yet!)


Here are the Secrets French girl style teaches you about building a better closet:


1. Quality over quantity 


2. Timeless over trends 


3. Vintage is très chic 


4. Classic basics are your best friend 


5. Simplicity is chic and fit is key


Because the French closet is focused on quality materials and timeless pieces, it’s always worth taking the time to hunt down the real thing secondhand instead of grabbing the cheap remake on Amazon. 


Focusing on my basics, instead of the eye-catching hot for the moment items, has really rebuilt my closet with pieces I want to reach for year after year.
