How To Get Parisian Style: rules Parisian women always follow.
1. Less Make Up
Many Parisians don’t wear any makeup at all, and will always emphasize skin care over makeup.
Keep it simple, that’s how to stay classy and elegant. A classic red lipstick and mascara can be more than enough sometimes.
In terms of fabrics, always seek high-quality fabrics such as cotton, silk.
3. Simplicity.
A perfect Parisian Chic style wardrobe is made up of a few pieces that are simple and versatile. French women don’t like to be over-sexy, avoid skirts or dresses that are too short, too tight, or too revealing.
