So with easy passage to some of the world's most desirable goods, you'd think every French woman would have a big waistline and a huge closet. But they don't. Just as "French Women Don't Get Fat," (according to author Mireille Guiliano), chic Parisiennes don't have closets full of clothes. They don't need them.
French Connection Dresses
The private is moderation.
Paris was first settled as a fishing village more than two thousand years ago. While it's been burned, rebuilt, invaded, and busy many times since then, the core of the city is still hundreds of years old. The roads are narrow, the buildings are old, the apartments are small. So are the closets and bathrooms. Full size refrigerators are scarce and weekly food shopping trips are unheard of. Where would you put a week's worth of groceries? For that matter, where would you store a season's worth of clothes?
You wouldn't.
You'd keep a small list of staples and add new things with care. If you buy something new, something old has to go. There just isn't space for both.
So how can French women be so chic when they can't buy new things all the time?
They:
1. Learn what styles look good on them (and which don't) early on
2. Buy a handful of good quality, neutral-colored staples that they can mix and match with each other for maximum wear
3. Add one or two new trendy pieces each season and wear them out
4. Invest in high quality daily bags and shoes
5. Have one or two high end scarves or other accessories that they wear all the time
6. Get a facial every month to keep their skin looking good
7. Maintain a fuss-free hairstyle
8. Pay cash for everything
The French, like the Germans, have a history of rescue and are adverse to personal debt. To stay in budget, they don't do a lot of impulse buying, and they indulge in their local luxuries very miniature or in moderation. Why buy a dozen handbags in separate shapes and colors when one in a neutral, basic shape does the trick?
What? Too boring, you say? Not enough variety?
Not true!
All it takes is a miniature imagination.
Start with basic pieces that look good on you. Find tops that fit, jackets that flatter, and pants and skirts that feel and look good.
Then study the most recent fashion magazines and websites to see the most recent trends. Try to re-create or plainly evoke the look with pieces you Already Have in your closet. You may just need a new jacket or some updated pants to look current. Or, maybe a new, trendy accessory can breathe new life into your old favorites. You don't have to supervene every trend. Learn which styles look best on you and just update them as the seasons pass. Or, pass them by if they don't flatter.
This uncomplicated mantra is how the French look chic And still carry on to live within their budgets and with their miniscule closets. You can too. You don't have to have a big budget or a lot of clothes to dress well. All it takes is a miniature institution and creativity. Learn what styles look good on you, select your pieces wisely, and wear them in many separate ways until they wear out.
Or, in the words of designer Jil Sander, "Think more, buy less."
