Parlez-vous français? Non? Pas de problème! You don’t need to be fluent in French to master that effortlessly chic Parisian style. Let’s embark on a sartorial journey through seven magnifique French-inspired looks, complete with the perfect nail sets to add that final touch of je ne sais quoi. Bienvenue to our French girl style KISS (Keep It Simple and Stylish) edit.
1. Romantic Rendezvous
Picture this: a crisp white ruffled blouse paired with a pleated khaki skirt that adds just the right amount of prep school charm to your Parisian dreams. A touch of boyfriend blush on the cheeks and burgundy loafers peeking out beneath pristine white socks – it’s giving ingénue. C’est magnifique, non? To complete this timeless ensemble, let your fingertips do the talking with Impress brand’s Chic French press-ons. They’re the pièce de résistance for this clean, pared-back look that whispers elegance.
2. Denim, Denim, and more Denim
Ah, the all-denim look – or as the French might say, “le total look jean.” It’s been simmering for seasons, but now it’s reached a delicious boiling point. From headbands to bags to flats, chambray is having its moment. For this H&M-inspired street style, add an unexpected twist with the Like Me set by KISS. Its subtle lilac tip offers a delicate contrast to the bold monochrome denim – because what’s more French than adding that perfect surprising touch?
3. That Girl
Héloise Salessy, the French fashion editor at Vogue, embodies the essence of “that girl” – effortlessly cool and endlessly inspiring. Her street style speaks volumes, so let your nails match her power-player energy with the aptly named Players set by imPRESS. It’s bold, it’s chic, it’s très Parisienne.
4. Trench Triumph
A well-worn trench coat is to French style what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris – iconic and irreplaceable. This dark gray number from & Other Stories deserves equally sophisticated digits. Enter Simple Enough – a squoval-shaped set that adds a subtle edge to the classic French manicure with whites on both tips and cuticles. It’s simplicity with a twist, just like the perfect trench.
5. Le Bordeaux
Burgundy might be Fall 2024’s hottest hue, but its charm lies in its timelessness. Whether you’re going edgy or buttoned-up, burgundy accents are your trusty sidekick. For nails that complement this rich shade, choose between One Call for a mid-toned burgundy or Cherry Up for a deeper oxblood. Either way, your fingertips will be raising a glass of Bordeaux in approval. Can’t get enough of this sultry shade? Get the Dark Cherry Look with affordable finds from Amazon.
6. Cozy Chic
If autumn in Paris were an outfit, it would be this look from French brand Sézane. The warm color palette, textured fabrics, and classic loafers scream “French girl off-duty.” Pair it with the Exclusive Only nail set for a manicure as classically French as a fresh-baked croissant.
7. Silver Lining
From accessories to statement pants, silver is having its moment in the City of Light (and beyond). To fully embrace this trend, let your fingertips walk the runway with designer Prabal Gurung’s Front Row set – these nails were made for fashion week.
For a more delicate touch, New Nail, New Me offers a silver outline that’s as refined as the Rive Gauche.
So there you have it, mes chéris – seven looks that capture the essence of French girl style, from head to perfectly manicured toe. Remember, the key to nailing this aesthetic is to make it look effortless. As the French say, “La simplicité fait la beauté” (simplicity creates beauty).
