It starts right at the beginning...that French sense of style.
Is it any wonder they have a leg up on us (and a very thin leg).
This little girl is smartly dressed in a chic dark navy/marine bleu 'sheer' pleated skirt.
A few years later. Add a tan belt and tan bag et voila. The classic navy schoolgirl dress is the epitome of French chic.
I love the independence and confidence of this four(?) year old walking down the street on her own. My mother would have never let me do that.
Never crossing the street on her own by the way. *Note the scarf treatment. I’d wear the who.e outfit minus the poussette.
Scarf-tying leçons start early. My mom didn't bother tying my scarf correctly as a toddler. No wonder it's a mess.
French grownups love copying their kid's pigtails.
The braid/natte, no matter how thin or scraggly will always be IN.
The French take US motifs and make them look chic not tacky.
The day after 'Labor Day' all-white plus straw hat. Why not?
Across the street all-black on this older French woman.
This French woman isn't giving up her Summer clothes yet.
This satchel is for kids or grownups?
An homme d'affair/business man carries the same bag. Not so chic but a continuation of school days. As far as taste buds go the French are light years ahead from the get-go. Pierre Hermé has a 'new kid on the block' to try - the Dépaysé. A green macaron 'sandwich' flavored with thé vert Matcha, gingimbre, aduki beans and citron vert. Miam maim
At least we can eat chic.
