5 Simple Ways To Elevate Your Outfits

[@trudiemundell74]

Let’s face it, you look good in anything!!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Awww merci Trudi 🤗

I loved the first outfit with the white jeans! Feminine, elegant, radiant.

[@maryabdel-malik656]

Agreed 👍👍

[@susannuccio7637]

Princess Diana wore white jeans year round and always looked elegant.

[@maryabdel-malik656]

@@susannuccio7637 I love white jeans and don’t follow the memorial day to labor day rule 😄

[@georgewagner7787]

I love it too but I guarantee I would stain them the first week

[@herecomesthesun21]

@@georgewagner7787 me too, probably 😊. Also because I'm overweight at the moment I don't think white jeans would suit me as they suit Marie-Anne. But I'm hoping to loose the extra weight at some point and if I do, I will definitely reward myself with white jeans.

[@georgiehughes4858]

Yes!! The white jeans are perfect!! You’re absolutely correct! (The blue jeans are okay for pulling weeds in the garden, or washing the dog.) No tee shirts!

[@guerralg63]

It's amazing the difference that the two-tone black and tan shoes make. It not only elevates the outfit but makes it chic and elegant! Well done, Marie Anne!

[@jlmaybery]

Marie-Anne, I'm so pleased to have found your channel! I've been a French classic inside all my life. However, at 75, I've experienced so many fashion trends that my wardrobe has gotten badly diluted. Within the last few years, personal crisis has brought me to a place where I have needed to reclaim that original French classic Me and you have arrived in perfect time to get me back on course! Thank you so very much!

[@bernadettetaylor881]

I agree with you! I am 73, behave nothing like it, and want to look my best and most chic. Marie Anne is a life line for women looking for style advice, and this lady is the reincarnation of Coco Chanel!

[@ribbonforyourhair]

Marie-Anne-You are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your fashion knowledge. It has helped me so much!❤

[@valdivinagomes4617]

You are marvelous!!!

White jeans don't elevate my outfit when I inevitably spill on them. 😅 But I love them on people who are less accident-prone than me. 😂 Great tips, as always!

[@edennis8578]

​@@MarieAnneLecoeurThose are for little stains. It doesn't work that well when you sit in a puddle of Pepsi that someone spilled on the seat or have hot coffee poured on your lap by a flight attendant. I've had both happen to me. I stick to dark colors now when I leave the house. 🤷‍♀️

[@Ariadne76-k3d]

Tide stain pen to the rescue! I don't know how many times that pen saved my white jeans!

[@anaalves3658]

😂😂😂 I love white clothes, especially in the summer heat, but I have learnt the hard way that sitting on public transport in white pants is a bad idea 😞. This happened to me the last time I was in London and to make matters worse I tore the only black pants I had with me on that trip 😱🤦

[@lisamcallister6534]

Oxy clean for whites is great and no bleach!

[@EGR548]

I was afraid of white jeans. Since few years I have a few. It is actually easier to wash than blue jeans. If there is a spot, I can remove it more easily than on blue or any other color jeans.

YOU ARE SO FRENCH CHIC! You make it look SO EASY! LOVE ALL THE ELEVATED OUTFITS! -San Francisco fan girl

[@Jen7867]

It was fun to watch you put outfits together, Marie-Anne. You have some beautiful clothes and you look wonderful in them! ❤ It is good for everyone to know that this involves being open to trying new things on together, and seeing what it looks like in the mirror. It i's okay if it doesn't work, just try something else. Have fun with it! The more you do it, the easier it will become.

[@sparklie962]

Agree wholeheartedly @Jen7867! Marie-Anne's advice to 1) get a full-length mirror and 2) try multiple combinations of outfits together to see what works and what doesn't have been real game-changers for me. I spend so much less time dithering in the mornings trying to decide what to wear now.

[@Jen7867]

@@sparklie962 That is so great!!! 🤗 I have been able to spend less time getting dressed in the morning as well - it's so nice! But I need to remember to experiment with my clothes more often. 🙂

[@burghbrat3319]

I always love the striped shirt with jeans. No matter the shoes, I love all those looks. So classic and timeless. Easy to dress up or down, too.

[@andreaslitfin6327]

I agree to many of the comments. I had a time where I had given up. Now I am coming into it again. And Marie-Anne, you are making me happy and put a smile on my face. In my family clothes were keeping you not naked. So I am again in the journey of style, with a glimpse upon your outfits. Thank you.

[@mihaelamihailide3671]

You are very, very sweet, Marie-Anne! I adore your sense of humour and your positive attitude!!! Thank you for the tips!🤗❤

[@margotchurchill5593]

I love all your elevations… for the all white outfit for evenings, I’d add a tan suede jacket and a leather belt. Daytime and warmer weather… a bright scarf and a hat!

[@eldredge52]

Yes! Scarves

[@vivienprice]

Brilliant video Marie-Anne. I love the transformations. The most dramatic for me was the first one - changing blue jeans for white jeans. Thanks for the contrasts - really helps to get a feel for what it takes to really be elegant. Your modeling makes me smile!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

You are very welcome Vivien 🤗

[@22304abc]

I love ❤ your new concept of sharing examples of elevation chic and real followers showing their chic style.

[@marlenea.1960]

You are my favorite person! I love your fun and up beat videos! I follow you ideas and feel fabulous!

[@charlottejohnk6712]

I love the long skirts for something different, and the sweater is gorgeous!

[@juleshappy741]

You have changed the way I dress, Marie-Anne. And this video was so much fun to watch. It was delightful. I loved the striped shirt with jeans. Plus, putting that tuxedo jacket on in the other outfit was stunning. Your emphasis on keeping it simple when you elevate your outfit brings a feeling of lightness ~ so grateful 😘

[@cannon3483]

I love seeing how the white jeans elevated the pink floral blouse. Amazing how white jeans are more elegant than blue. Some florals really do look better with white trousers. Jeans and darker trousers would deaden the outfit. I love to see the French Chic Ladies' photos, myself included!

[@leegrow7519]

Your style is amazing… I don’t thinks a denim skirt has a place anywhere..but yours was nice actually..

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Merci Lee x

[@JaxonsDd007]

I love that first blouse.

[@helenoftroy5130]

I want that floral blouse in outfit number one, c’est magnifique!

[@karenokeane6461]

I am a big fan of KITTEN HEEL shoes for elevating even the most casual ensembles, without sacrificing comfort. Flats are lovely, don't get me wrong, but providing just the tiniest bit of elevation somehow (for me anyway) changes the whole silhouette. I've somewhat muscular calves, and have always been a bit self conscious about wearing chunky heels--maybe it's all 'in my head'....lol but find I feel my most confident and 'put together' in kitten heels. :)

[@terjemarken2411]

This vid is top Saturday entertainment for the ladies! 😉 All pretty clothes and combos. I like outfit 2 and 5 the best I would say. This silver looking purse goes perfectly along with your gorgeous satin skirt! 😍Thanks for posting Marie-Anne!

[@carolb8452]

Hi Marie-Anne, WOW, so many brilliant useful tips. Total class. I love adding jackets. Strip shirts are always good. Thank you. Have a great week

[@lill225]

A lovely scarf and linen fitted blazer might also look nice with the all-white outfit. I love your ideas!

[@northern179]

You know how to pull it together ( outfits) and you simply, make it simple❤️ love your Style!

[@conniezakhary321]

You have beautiful clothes, Marie-Anne! You are the epitome of elegance! ❤

[@pursueliving]

That last outfit with or without the jacket is absolutely a show-stopper!

[@jacquelinewilliams5661]

You aways look elegant and so very French. Just love everything you wear and your very welcome advice you share. The French Red lipstick and the very minimum makeup looks stunning. I watch Nicole Johnson from America and have a lot of tips from her KZbin videos. She always looks so elegant wearing 😂red lipsticks ❤

[@texasstardust6010]

...those white jeans / trousers really made that ensemble look so great ! Truly did elevate that look. ... ! Loved loved loved that beautiful top in the last Ensemble, it's a wow, and I knew immediately... needs a beautiful jacket in black to set the whole thing off. Gorgeous! Such timely Inspiration for this time of season ,thank you Miss Marie Anne! ❤️ ✨️🙏🏻 And sending you wishes for a lovely Mothers Day Weekend .. 🙏🏻💞

[@janeorson5452]

Great video, Marie-Anne. I think for the all white outfit I would have added a red/white scarf or a navy and white striped jacket type cardigan. For the very smart outfit at the end I would have added a delicate gold necklace. I LOVE the Chanel type ballet flats. I've bought myself some navy ones recently and they're very versatile.

[@helenebennie3961]

I was also thinking a red and white scarf would be great for that outfit.

[@susancook1448]

Thanks for the ideas! I am not good at putting together outfits. I love the tying up of a long blouse.

[@celiathirlwall3329]

Hi Marie-Anne! Great video (as always)! Amazing how a small change or add-on can totally elevate a look! I love all of your suggestions!! Have a great weekend!!

[@starfishw7138]

So much more meaningful when you model the outfits

[@jenniferharvey431]

A very informative video. Little changes make such a difference to an outfit. My favourite is the floral blouse and white jeans. I would wear the striped shirt with the white jeans also. Xx

[@maijatreimane]

Great tips Marie Anne ❤ First outfit probably is my favourite but love also white outfit with chambre shirt and hat. Funny, I liked to knot my shirts in my 20s. Gloomy Soviet Union and I always looked dressed very in Western (I mean free Western countries) style. I also have good observation skills, and when I started to travel abroad (Berlin Wall was fallen), I noticed that the most important thing is to have great quality shoes and handbag. Back then, I had a wonderful tailor (shops were almost empty) so I always had unique clothing as well. One tip what I learnt from my friend and designer in my home country, Latvia 🇱🇻 is : play with accessories! Accessories, like scarves, hats, jewellery, interesting shoes, and so on, can elevate any outfit, which seems boring or too plain. Though I am quite minimalist with outfits and pay great attention to materials and quality now. And that's also your advice, Marie Anne - French women mantra. I am not French by passport but deep down in my heart, I feel like French. 😄 Sometimes Australians ask me - are you French? Nope, I am not 😂 Atm learning French language in my pace, watching a lot of French movies and my favourite French writer is Marguerite Duras ❤ P.S. And it's your fault 😅 that lately I bought white high quality pants and 2 extremely expensive extra fine merino jumpers - beige and white. All on great sale but still expensive 😞

[@ellerivendale3290]

the checkered pants are marvelous🙌yes, a pattern CAN be a neutral!

[@bibibrin5035]

Lovely ❤ just lovely! Everything you wear is perfect! As my body shape is a fruit basket, I don't dare wear white jeans or white sweaters.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Merci Bibi - it all starts from knowing and understanding your bodyshape the rest is following the style principles and developing and using your own flare 😃 French Chic is for everyone there is nothing in the guidelines that says only tall skinny girls need apply 😘

[@marthawilson4775]

Thank you for these ideas. I love to use scarves to change the look of my outfit - especially when I’m traveling. I was in Paris for two months - just returned! - and I used different scarves to change the look of my outfits. (I only had five outfits to last for eight weeks, so I needed to get creative with my shoes and other accessories!)

[@Ariadne76-k3d]

I love those two-tone shoes!

[@selectiveoutrage6617]

These tips are great if you like to travel light. Can get several outfits out of very few items.

Well who would have thought such a small alteration to an outfit could make all the difference, the added sunglasses I really like that touch Marie-Anne, all lovely outfits, the one I especially took a shine to was the first one a lovely blouse with the white jeans, once again a big thank you, you do help me/us an awful lot with these ideas, since I have been a subscriber of your channel you would be amazed at the changes I have made to how I dress and what I wear.

[@mariestoner7533]

Loved the white jeans in number 1. The satin skirt really finished the outfit in #2. Love the chambray shirt tied in #3. Love the tuxedo jacket with the lace top! I’m known for my jewelry, so I would have added a necklace of some sort.

[@deirdrewalsh1134]

With that jacket I was thinking some clip on flower earrings, something very feminine (Ava Gardiner)

[@janmargaret7972]

Once again thank you! Great fashion ideas. The elevation of the outfit with the blouse and the denim skirt to the satin skirt was FANTASTIC! However, I believe that a pair of dangling pearl or zirconia earrings would elevate it even better. Or a large statement ring. Something was missing. The outfit was great.
