Let's Talk About 'French Girl Style' in 2018
Let’s admit it. French girls are always so chic. While it sometimes seems that they’re born with an unfair style gene the rest of us missed out on, French girls are just masters of classic style rules. Rather than following trends, French girls know what looks good and they stick with it, meaning they always look timeless.
To gain some insight on this French sensibility, we did some searching around Instagram to see how our favourite French fashion girls are applying these perpetual rules today, in 2018. Regardless of whether you try out these looks today or in six months, we guarantee you’ll always look on-trend!
To see the fashion rules that French girls are bringing into 2018, keep reading!
1. Well Fitted Jeans Never Go Out of Style
It seems obvious, but finding a perfect pair of jeans really can make or break a wardrobe. Jeans last forever, so it may be worth splurging on a pair that really suits you.
2. High Waisted Trousers Are an Essential
To create the illusion of mile-high legs, a high waistline is your best friend. Paired with even a simple top and heels, this look is sure to turn heads.
3. Leopard Print is Truly Timeless
You either love it or hate it, but regardless, leopard print isn’t going anywhere. The trick is to keep the rest of your look simple for an outfit that feels adventurous, not tacky.
4. Wrap Dresses Are Universally Flattering
If this isn’t already a summer staple for you, get one immediately! For starters, it's extremely flattering due to the waist-cinching nature of the cut, and also extremely comfortable. Talk about versatile.
