French sunglasses style: from Apres-Ski to Parisian Chic

We all want to look effortlessly cool and collected. For inspiration, need we look any further than the French? Their magnetic “je ne sais quoi” is idolised when it comes to style and beauty. What’s more, the country is a fashion powerhouse with iconic brands such as Balmain at the fore. This innate sense of style means that often a polished outfit still comes across as “I haven’t tried too hard.” 

Interested in nailing the look? Read on to find out how you can perfectly execute the ‘Parisian-chic’ style aesthetic, especially with your specs! 

Parisian-chic style explained

Post-pandemic, high heels and suits just don’t cut it anymore! In some cases, they’ve proved themselves too uncomfortable or completely obsolete. But Parisian chic style is a look that people can always get behind. It’s highly coveted because of the low maintenance, high impact results. French celebrities, whether models or actresses — have proved themselves to be fashion icons. 

To master the iconic French look, it is vital to remember that “less is more” and for this reason, it’s often timeless pieces or practical outfits paired with killer accessories. This is also an easy way to keep the costs down, with a capsule wardrobe that’s dressed up with trend-focused accessories. 

How to get the look with French sunglasses

A good first step is to try to invest in timeless luxury items that will last you in the long run, which can also help to guide you towards classic silhouettes. The key is to choose original or show-stopping pieces and pair them with more affordable trend-led items. 

The “Masculin-Féminin” look

French-style doesn’t get caught up with gender. In fact, the style is often a happy mid-point. In the 90s, French tailors popularised masculine silhouettes, and this androgynous trend has remained popular amongst Parisians ever since.
