3 Day to Night Looks Inspired by Effortless Parisian Style

I think we can all agree that when it comes to effortless chic style, Parisians have mastered the look. I have been following French style for a while now, and I most often shop French and French style brands. With that in mind, I gathered three simple styles that will take you from day to night to reveal how you can capture the sometimes elusive ‘je ne c’est quoi’ in your outfits.

Casual Chic

For a relaxed yet modern look, embrace the charm of casual chic. Opt for on trend, high-waisted, wide-leg denim or trousers paired with a fitted top, creating a flattering silhouette that reflects comfort and sophistication. Elevate the outfit with a refined narrow belt and accessorize with a crossbody bag. I prefer to match leathers in this case. Add oversized sunglasses and loafers or sleek white sneakers to strike a balance between laid-back and polished.

Classic Parisian Weekend

Channeling the timeless allure of Parisian style, choose a black and white midi dress with classic stripes or polka dots for a touch of whimsy. Layer on a cropped denim jacket for chillier in between days, perfect for exploring the markets of Paris. Add a basket bag and a pair of delicate flat sandals for shopping, and elevate the look with heeled sandals and an elegant crossbody to take your look from market to café. For a pop of color, add a timeless red lipstick.

Elegant Evening Chic

Embrace sultry summer evenings with a black mini slip or sheath dress. This one adds a touch of Golden Era panache with its shimmering lamé floral print. Sheath and slip dresses are fitted yet flattering, as long as you are mindful of the material. The figure-hugging silhouette enhances confidence and elegance, while the intricate floral pattern adds a bit of opulence. Pair it with a statement necklace that complements the gold detailing, a minimal clutch, and a pair of classic black heels. These gold high heel sandals would also be a gorgeous addition to the look.

These overall looks are effortless yet eye-catching; expect plenty of compliments, despite you insisting you threw them together last minute, and you will have achieved the key principle of effortless dressing. Bon journée!
