4 pieces that define French style

Open your closets and you will find that you have at least one of these clothes! These iconic dress code pieces French are classics that women from all countries try to appropriate without ever adopting our class.

The sailor

Jean-Paul Gaultier has made it his centerpiece and Petit Bateau has released a timeless line. Wear with boyfriend jeans and a pair of Stan Smiths for a casual look or with a babydoll skirt and a pair of pumps for a night out.

The little black dress

Timeless and essential, it has even become the signature of Guerlain perfume. To wear for a dressy evening or for a more relaxed look, it goes just as well with a pair of boots as with a pair of trainers.

The costume

A glamorous tomboy version, wear it with a shirt closed all the way up and derbies on your feet, à la Christine and the Queens, or nothing for a sexier look for big nights.

The white shirt

Separate from the costume, we wear it with cool pants and a pair of ballet flats or a pair of sneakers to get away from the BCBG style that it can give. We don't hesitate to wear it oversize also with a sweater over it to break the codes.
