In her most recent book, France’s renowned icon of style, Ines de la Fressange delivers just that. La Parisienne acts as a how-to-guide of how to dress in the less-is-more Parisian style.
The former model, designer and business woman presents readers with a 239 page, red-leather bound, guidebook in which she teaches readers the seven essentials to a perfect wardrobe. These Magnificent Seven include:
1. A Man’s Blazer
2. The Trench
3. The Navy (cashmere) Sweater
4. The Tank
5. The Little Black Dress
6. The Perfect Jeans
7. The Leather Jacket
Adorned with snapshots and charming illustrations, Ines continually stresses that any true Parisian’s style involves the mixing of non-coordinates, along with many other lessons to be “comfortable, and look rich”. Some of these include:
1. Wearing jeans with embellished sandals, no sneakers;
2. Pencil skirts with flats, loose the heels;
3. Straw handbags to accompany evening dresses, no clutches.
4. Chiffon or flower printed dresses are to be paired with biker boots;
5. And tuxedo jackets coupled with sneakers, not stilettos.
By following these rules, Ines claims readers will quickly master the offbeat style characteristic of Parisian women, and begin to ooze European-chic.
