Parisian Style

#Paris

Hi,

Today is another post about one of Mimi Ikonn's videos. We know it's 2 days in a row, but she is just awesome. Yesterday she posted a 'How to: Parisian Style' video. Which we think is something we need to share with you guys. Because French women, like Mimi says in the video, have a very effortless but chic style. We really admire that and we wish we could dress up like them. So if you wanna look Parisian, here are the rules:

1. All black
An outfit with nothing else but black in it. Many women in Paris do this and it looks stunning. It looks the best with a dress like Mimi wears in the photo above, because the Parisian style is very femenine and if you're going to wear a whole black outfit with pants, it may look a bit tomboy or even gothic.

2. Polka dots
In Paris the women don't wear a lot of patterns, but when they do it's usually something classic like polka dots. So by wearing a polka dot sweater, shirt, skirt or dress you will give your outfit that Parisian twist.



3. Stripes
Beside polka dots, stripes are also a very classy pattern. So again it's something you will see a lot in Paris. For us a striped sweater is one of the most typical French things, but wearing a striped skirt or dress can be very Parisian too.



4. A pop of red
Parisian women mostly wear neutral colors, but the only exception is red. So you can wear with your neutral colored outfit something red and that will make your outfit super Paris-like.



5. A hat
This is something you probably already know: that hats are a very typical accessoire in France. So wearing a hat will deffinitely make your outfit Parisian.

So these are the rules for the Parisian style. We basically said everything Mimi says in her video, but if you still want to see it here it is:
