As a French and a Parisian I should really start my "tips" channel...lol make me smile all those videos about French style..because there's not "one style" but several trends depending age and social status ..la bourgeoise vs more street style..etc.. nice video ! you could pass for a young French student ;-)

[@BriLamberson]

Hi, Marsery! I love this comment and totally agree that you should start your own tip channel. I would subscribe.

[@marsery]

@@BriLamberson Anyway you've nailed it ..:-)

[@yogagirlification]

Hi @marsery, I would love it if you started something from an actual Parisian insider perspective. A lot of Americans post about French style, yet it isn’t what I see when I’m travelling. I wonder if what is posted is Americans looking at other Americans.

[@BriLamberson]

@@marsery that means a lot to hear. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Parisians are wearing. My husband grew up in Boron-sur-oise which is not far from Chantilly. We're planning on making a day trip to visit his old neighborhood. The great thing is I will get to see how French people outside of a huge city are living and dressing!

[@BriLamberson]

@@yogagirlification Have you checked out Justine Le Conte? She's amazing and I really love her informative tips. And I'm obsessed with Garance Dore's youtube channel although she hasn't posted in a while.

[@Aisstylish]

I would swap the straw bag out for a classic leather chic handbag with a proper closure! ❤️

[@BriLamberson]

Hey Andii! Great advice and another gal here in the comments recommended the same thing. I think the main reason I want to take it with is because it is currently my everyday bag and I'm really comfortable with it. I also carry water and a camera with me everywhere so I need a moderately large bag. Do you think it will still be OK? Glad you're here. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your advice!

[@Aisstylish]

Brianna Lamberson Hey Brianna. I would try and bring something that has a zip closure only just so that you feel confident if you use the Metro or are in crowed tourist area where pickpockets or opportunists may be...... I live in London and NEVER carry bags/purses without a proper zip closure! ❤️❤️

[@BriLamberson]

@@Aisstylish thank you so much!! That's perfect. The one straw bag I'm taking does have a zip closure. Also, luckily, I won't be going to too many tourist traps and my husband grew up in France and I in Germany and we lived in Chicago for 8 years, so we both feel really comfortable around a lot of people in crowded spaces and watching our stuff. Thanks for helping me decide though and for being so sweet.

[@Aisstylish]

Fantastic!! 👍Hope you both will have an amazing time!😀Xxx

[@saffarty390]

In France we tend to only carry straw bags in the summer. Your uniform is basically for spring/autumn so we would be wearing leather ankle boots and carrying a leather tote bag or crossbody bag. For winter a longer woollen or padded coat and add a big scarf.

[@cwest2001]

You nailed the look. But it's September and cooler in Paris so substitute the straw bag (too casual for Fall for leather. The French are done with their beach holidays

[@BriLamberson]

Oh, thank you!

[@Ingrid0410]

Brianna Lamberson you shouldn’t worry so much about what people think just be yourself! One time when I was in Paris I was wearing Crocs and was asked “are you American “ yes I said proudly. The woman smiled.

[@BriLamberson]

This is the most encouraging comment I’ve ever received. 🥰

[@TheSmbrown]

I've always liked this style very much, and you look very classy. I also love wearing a blazer and ballet flats with my jeans. For a trip to Europe, however, the straw bag, while cute at the beach, is a very poor choice for walking around cities. Any bag that is open, not zipped closed, is carried over the shoulder instead of crossbody, is a prime target for pickpockets and thieves, which, sadly, is a huge problem in Paris and Europe. I carry a black faux leather Fossil crossbody messenger bag. It has several zippered pockets, both internally and externally for keeping valuables safe, a very thick, cut resistant strap, and looks great with everything I wear traveling. I've had many friends be targeted by pickpockets, losing passport, credit cards, and money can ruin your trip. Be aware, use caution, and educate yourself about how pickpockets work and who they target. KZbin has many excellent documentaries to watch.

[@BriLamberson]

Thanks love! You're so sweet.

[@louisericketts6738]

As you say, comfortable shoes are essential. I would also recommend a pair of simple white sneakers such as Superga. I'd also like to say use a cross body bag for security, comfort and convenience.

[@BriLamberson]

Hi Louise! I've heard and read so much lately about French style and how women are way more into comfort than I realized. I do have a pair of black supergas but brought my grey converse. They were a Godsend or else my feet would have died. I was way off on the straw bag thing, although I was confidently rocking it. I did see some all jute straw bags and felt a little bit better, but all in all most girls were carrying canvas tote bags, which was surprising.

[@gmagain]

Superga is so uncomfortable :(

[@louisericketts6738]

G.M. I suppose feet differ. Personally I find them very comfortable. They fit me better than Converse for example. The sizes are more consistent than many other makes. Each to their own.

[@Sunshine4]

G.M. Uncomfortable for me too, so disappointed because they looked so cute on me!

[@aldonastraczek]

The straw bag is something we only wear to the beach or the farmer's market. We tend to go for handbags such as the iconic Darel or Le Tanneur.

[@BriLamberson]

Fantastic. Love the recommendations.

[@Ingrid0410]

Aldona Straczek or Longchamps. Hope she buys one!!

[@BriLamberson]

ingrid I so wish I could afford a Longchamps. ❤️

@@angiewalton1 I've had my le tanneur handbag for years and it is still like new despite not being precious with it, taking public transport and flying a lot.

[@daisyday7610]

I just returned from Paris and saw a lot of Levi’s (especially 501 and faded), more subdued colors instead of bright or loud prints, scarves are a must-men and women and all different styles. I totally agree with you on the Sam Edelman ballet flats. I have higher arches and these shoes actually give more support than some street shoes. Plus, they’re so small and flat to pack I can bring black, brown and then the dark blue velvet ones for fun.

classic 501 jeans~ white Tee shirt ~tailored classic blazer,~ classic well made ballet flat ~ .............no no on the straw hand bag!

[@BriLamberson]

😘merci!

[@emilydewenter6308]

My favorite has to be jeans and white tee! I do however have a straw bag and I LOVE that too. Jeans for me are my weakness. I wear pretty basic clothing but I switch it up with my jeans. Others might not even notice but it makes me happy.. I also LoVe a good white tee. However I do struggle with keeping the underarms looking fresh. I usually do oxi-clean soaks a few times a year but sometimes I have to retire my white tees after a while. I do think that going with a more oversized look would help so there is less touching between my sweat and the garment .

[@BriLamberson]

Absolutely! Jeans are also my weakness. Yes, white t-shirts can get yellowy over time. I typically wash soon after wearing and use a teeny bit of bleach if there are no graphics. Have you ever heard of Jungmaven t-shirts? You would LOVE them.

This outfit is definitely a great look for Paris. It’s simple and classic. The only thing I would change is the handbag. I would like to see a nice, classic, leather bag. During my trips to France, I did not notice any straw bags. 😊

[@lesliesauls473]

Ugh...I hate pointing this out so don’t take this as hatefulness on my part...but at the same time I don’t like things not truly represented...you changed belts!! So in actuality, you can’t just take the belt off your jeans and wrap it around a jacket bc the jacket is too bulky and the belt needs to be longer!! Very very few outfits transition from day to night, effortlessly. You could have said “In anticipation of going out later, roll up a longer belt and tuck it into your purse for an evening change up.” I agree about taking a leather purse vs a straw for this time of year. I’ve been to Paris twice...such a beautiful city...enjoy!!!

[@napfaraway7142]

My comment/question is if Levi’s jeans are made in America, and if Marlon Brando (Bruce Springsteen, James Dean, etc ) paired Levi’s with a basic white t shirt, how can that look be described as French style? Seems like it’s All Classic American style to me.

[@BriLamberson]

This look was adopted hard-core by Parisian "It" girls. It's more of a timeless, ageless, genderless look that anyone can wear and never be out of style.

[@annoldham3018]

Definitely boot cut jeans for pear shaped bodies. Navy blue or black colour and no rips.😁

Love it Ann! Good looking out. I love your advice.

I cannot wear a white tee shirt because I have a tummy and it accentuates that. Can you suggest an alternative? Thank you.

Hi Marian, sorry it took me so long to reply! KZbin had many comments from me for years. 😟 you could swap into a black T-shirt, or even just into a looser knit, very lightweight sweater that had more interest and detail to hide any unwanted shape.

Just curious, if you’ve never been to Paris how would you know what to pack?? Having lived in Europe for many years, there are all sorts of styles depending on your lifestyle.

[@BriLamberson]

Hey, Love! I've gotten that question before. I've also lived in Europe and have been to France, never Paris. Also, researching fashion is what I do for a living. In part, I'm influenced by what I see in various places on the internet, what I read in fashion books, and my own experience living in Europe.

Hi Sarah, I’m another vertically challenged lady. I fact I did not even make it to 5’. (I’m 4’11”) The best jeans I’ve ever found for petites are the NYDJ petite jeans. I like the Ami style. They come in lots of colors, have great dark rinse ones as well as many rinses. My daughter loves them as well, she’s 22 & also 4’11”. They have some stretch, but not too much. We are both small, but with a booty & weigh between 110-116. Until I found these buying jeans was a nightmare!

[@sherryedwards695]

I really enjoyed this video. However, I am confused about the classic pieces you have chosen. Not sure if it's a regional thing, but I live in Toronto, Ontario Canada and I hardly see anyone wearing blue jeans and a white t-shirt. Jeans, yes but with other tops and never a white t-shirt. When I tried this look once before people were asking me if it 2as laundry day and why was I wearing just a plain white t-shirt. I still like this look when I see it but I don't see people here wearing that. Do you think it's an American thing? Please let me know if you see this look when you go to Paris. I'm curious to know. Have fun, enjoy and make great memories. Bon voyage.

[@BriLamberson]

Hey Sherry! That is too funny. I suppose it could be regional although I can't say for certain. The t-shirt is technically an undergarment so I can see why it's seen as a bit odd in Canada. I did include images of two Parisian women wearing white t-shirts with jeans and a black blazer in the video. But I will be on the lookout in Paris for sure! XO - B

[@alimaalikhan]

I would argue that the style you claim as classic French is, and has been truly been an American ensemble long before you were born. Denim is. French workman’s fabric true. Hope you learn a lot on your first trip to Paris. First accessory purchase should be an Hermès scarf in a pattern and colors that goes with everything. The straw purse? Pickpockets love them. Good grief!

[@BriLamberson]

Hi Rebecca! I totally agree and that's the point I make in the video. I do think there is a "cool" style that transcends borders and time. I'm excited to learn from people watching and talking to other cool chics while there. Doubt I'll have the $$ to buy an Hermès scarf but maybe I'll find one at the thrift store. Pickpockets can try their best on me but they will not succeed.

[@alimaalikhan]

Brianna Lamberson Have you perused the luxury shopping site TheRealReal? With your interest in fashion, I imagine you have already. I have bought some beautiful ones there at half the price, and sold some I no longer favored. I refuse to pay full retail price for them anymore. 😊

@@alimaalikhan great tip. Thanks.Brianna is very young for wearing an Hermes scarf..that would look a bit too "bourgeoise" on her ..I like the "fresh look ..and I am French and from Paris ..I have an Hermes scarf...it stays in the drawers ;-) or use it as belt..on my jeans...I agree with your comment though..this looks like the "Preppy American style" ..which is so "universal" these days ...the thing is to find a little twist to make it personal ...in France we would wear flat shoes whereas in the US one would wear heels I assume along with make up and hair done...in France minimal make up and a Bun or loose chignon as a hair do ..or what you call" out of bed hair" lol ..just like the "little black dress"..too bad we can't add picture to the message...French way or wearing it vs American way wearing it ..totally different end result .

[@alimaalikhan]

marsery everyone I know wears ballet flats with jeans, but I always thought it was because we are older ladies and find them more comfortable for our old feet. 😆. Personally, I think heels and jeans look tacky as though one is “trying too hard.” My hair is long, so a chignon is. essential. 😊. You are probably right, Brianna is pretty young and I didn’t receive my first Hermes’ scarf until I was 25. I have adored them ever since. I buy one every year, but I will not tell you how many I have now or I will reveal my age. 🤣

Apple shape?

[@BriLamberson]

Great question! Apple's are beautiful and need to accentuate their waist. Maybe try belting your blazer or wearing stripes underneath the jacket. For the blazer, try cropped if you're not belting the blazer, so you can give the waist more definition. For jeans, try stretch jeans with a boot cut and mid-rise. Or if you're wanting to do high waist, try a brand called Not Your Daughter's jeans. Hope that helps! Let me know if I can do anything else to help out.

Thanks for your thoughts on the bootcut jeans. I’m going back to my old comments and replying to ones that got lost. Funnily enough boot cut jeans are back and I do think they can look good on many body shapes, including hourglass and pair.

And be skinny, you must be skinny to pull off any French look!!!! I have NEVER seen a heavy French elegant lady, NEVER EVER

[@BriLamberson]

Well I do know of some. Skinny isn’t necessarily the way to go.

Too much talking...i lost interest in the first 2 minutes

[@BriLamberson]

Thanks for the feedback.

Brianna Lamberson people are so annoying. sorry you can’t keep your focus for more than 2 minutes Janet... sounds like a you problem

As a pear shaped woman, I disagree with many of your suggestions. A cropped or bolero jacket will not flatter my bottom half. Same with flares. Classic straight leg works best. This is why I dislike the fruit typing system.

Hi, Rebecca! Thanks for your feedback. You’re 100% right. I wish I would have known about Kibbe before making this video 🤦‍♀️

[@christinabonacossa4919]

Butt? You just lost me with this term.

[@BriLamberson]

Not sure what you mean. Can you clarify?

[@danielab2100]

So I got nearly to end and sadly in what I watched not once do you mention 'apple' shape. You talk about other body types but not apple shape. Not good.

[@BriLamberson]

Hi Daniela! I completely understand and I felt horrible after I recorded the video and realized that I blanked out on that. I didn’t actually mean to leave out Apple shape. But if you have any questions don’t hesitate to let me know. I do apologize and wish you all the best! ♥️

[@danielab2100]

​@@BriLamberson I don't go with that. You mentioned every other body shape on numerous ocassions - all - but apple shape! Im guessing there is a huge dislike of apple shape here. Never mind There are other You Tubers who dont have that dislike of us apple shaped girls.

[@BriLamberson]

I’m so sorry you feel that way. It’s certainly not true at all. As I said, it was an honest mistake. I have a neurological brain condition and frequently blank on things. Love all the shapes of the body! Your body shape is lovely no matter what shape it is. Good luck! ♥️
