PARISIAN FASHION TIPS | A Guide to that French Girl Look: Style your Wardrobe like a French Woman

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

Hi guys! I loved filming this video with Kelly because I learned so much from her as well about Parisian Fashion and different brands to check out. Would love to hear what you guys think and any tips for people trying to get that French Girl Look! Hope you enjoy! 💃

[@asifmuniruniverse7732]

Hi,both of f you

[@maggieward-plish2017]

Does Kelly have a channel or insta to follow? That hair is flawless

[@sarahmooremotherhoodlifest6625]

Her hair is so beautiful and full!

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

Must but these french genes 😂😍

[@ratulamorie5255]

I have recently become interested in Parisian fashion and have discovered how much this style resonates with me. So this video is super helpful. Also, you're both gorgeous! So jealous of Kelly's beauty marks!

[@susanjaneleitner7670]

Loved your video! But, not being French I lose the names of brands when you were chatting together. Please Consider putting them in your show box for non French speaking women. See you next time! ❤️ Suzy

[@TheCilou6]

Lol You're both wearing classic neutral colors outfit with minimal make up and effortless looking hairstyle. 100% frenchified!! xxx Cilou

[@rosebudnoir]

I really appreciated Kelly's recommendations and getting to hear both of your perspectives on Parisian fashion. It sounds like the effortless look takes a bit of effort... 😅 Would love to hear more! (p.s. Angèle is amazing - love her music!)

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

You've got two big Angele fans here :) And glad you like it. I also learn a lot from kelly about fashion and that effortless look does take a bit of effort to acheive!

[@Catty19748]

I'm just discovering and looking in to french fashion at the moment, and this was brilliant. Thank you from the UK!

[@thepolitix1008]

Interesting video. Especially cool to get all of Kelly’s favorite brands!

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@abbygatchel979]

I agree! Can we get a recap of the brands she mentioned?

[@Puda]

I was like "wow she is French without any accent??? Oh wait..." Kate, I just realized that you have this Claire Danes' vibe in you! (I am sure you have been told that many times though!)

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I’ve always gone for natural-looking makeup and hair, it’s not only the French, but the classy, choice.

[@Puda]

The makeup part is so crazy in North America!!! We love our nude look in France! And SAME for the hair. It's crazy here. (French person living in NA for 10 years now!)

[@Eo-bo6sf]

I study French and American fashion from the mid-1800s, and it’s interesting to see that the things which would make one of those dresses stand out as quintessentially French are apparently now _not_ French.

[@marydorsey3488]

❤️ Kelly rocks! What white shirt brand does she like?

[@byootifie]

Loved your discussion with Kelly--so well done and informative. Thanks!!

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

Hi SuAn! So glad you enjoyed the video and let me know!

[@lavinder11]

Thanks for this video. I especially love the brand recommendations. I work in fashion/beauty with a lot of French people. The simplicity, dark colors and the amount of work they put into appearing to be effortless were the most noticeable things. While I do appreciate the attention to detail, emphasis on minimalistic and dainty things and lack of bared breasts, I find Parisian fashion, as a whole, to be uninspiring and a bit formulaic, especially the intentional lack of color. One of my friends has red hair and intense blue eyes. She used to wear colors that brought out those contrasts, but after living in Paris for four years, she came back wearing all black, which made her look a bit drab. But I think this depends on your social circle as well. I know many French artists in Paris and Afro-Europeans who don't subscribe to the stereotypical Parisian style and they still look chic. Also, I think the youth are beginning to change these rules w/youtube and Instagram lookbooks. They seem to be taking cues from London fashion.

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

I would love to see a more vibrant style take a hold of the Parisians because i do agree with you that it can get a bit drab if you wear all black all the time! But when I really get ready, it's so obvious that I've made an effort. I love how the French constantly look effortlessly, naturally, beautiful!

[@paulflorent9979]

Clues from London fashion ? Ewwww, please noooooo....

[@lacress6667]

parisian, agreed on all you said :)

[@Sky22_00]

I just discovered ur channel and I love you!

[@erikacarrillo9796]

Kelly is sooo pretty! I loved this video and her make up! I would so watch her channel if she has one. Thanks Unintentionally Frenchified!

[@PasCorrect]

When I booked a "wardrobe consultation" a few years ago, I had to fill out a questionnaire which included naming my "style icon". I went with Emmanuelle Alt, editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris -- I think she always looks so relaxed and cool. Sadly, I can't pull off shirts with buttons because I have boobs, aka those mystical unicorns that buttoned-clothing designers have never seen and will never believe in.

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

I feel you with the boob challenge! Buttons aren't always our best friends!

[@ccrisc100]

I'm also in that club. Can't find a button shirt that won't look like I'm about to poke someone's eye out with a flying button.

[@e.machocolat775]

`loved it `kate! Your sister in law is lovely! and a real joy to listen to. I could not understand her favorite jewelery brand or also the affordable one, She also mentioned two clothing brands, Joseph and the other was academic? You two should do another one maybe on makeup brands and how to get that parisan `hair i think of it as that Bridget Bardot look lol,. Thank you Kate I hope you are feeling well and ready for the birth of your child, it will be such a wonderful experience. Oh last thing, I dont know if you ve done this but could you talk about renting and buying a place in Paris, best neighbors (I love the 18, 9 and 10) and best closest suburbs near france to buy in. Thank you on a great video.

[@Rachel-rs7jn]

OMG the hair ha ha ha! Seeing the newscasters on TV with huge unruly (even frizzy) curls is still so unnerving for me. I'm not used to it, because gosh that would never happen in the U.S. But the truth is, the idea that our natural hair isn't good enough is kind of annoying once you think about it! So honestly I prefer the French way. I brought a straightener with me that I used to use every day, that I now haven't touched in months. And the truth is...my hair has gotten a lot healthier and looks better natural now because it's not so fried. And my (French) boyfriend has specifically requested that I keep wearing it this way even after I go back to the States. 😄I'll try! Thanks for this video - I feel like it was for me! 😄It's funny, whenever I walk past Mango I'm like "gosh that's too trendy for me", but I think it's probably just too trendy if I'm buying staple pieces. I'll try it again soon, but with the eye for more "accessorizing/transitory" pieces. I always feel boring here in Paris because I have some good staples in neutrals but not much beyond scarves for anything with some character. The one thing I would add that you guys didn't touch upon is that I find the French (not just the Parisians) are really good at putting together things that don't necessarily *match*, but that still complement each other. That's what takes an outfit to the next level I think...and I have no idea how to do that. 😂

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

Such a great insight about the non matching, matching!! And i would totally agree that mango is too trendy for staple pieces and the quality isn't great so it would be a waste of money to expect it to last really long, so try to go for the trendy pieces in mind. and congrats on letting your hair go all natural. I'm sure it's more healthy for it and you just gotta embrace all the curls and waves if you've got them!

[@Rachel-rs7jn]

@@UnintentionallyFrenchified I will totally come back to this thread and let you know if I get something cool and trendy from Mango! 😄

[@OptLab]

You should do a tutorial of how to find the right size for your body. Because this is the first step. Your video is great as a 2nd or 3rd step.

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

Great idea!

[@grodrigueze.b1455]

I do have a question 🙋🏻‍♀️ what about manicure 💅 how do French women style their nails? Can I get information on the everyday look and also if I’m going somewhere fancy. 💅💅💅💅💅💅💅💅💅

[@soniaworley9917]

Kelly your hair is just gorgeous, trying to have mine like you

[@juliusdavies2005]

Surprised you never mentioned shoes as an investment piece! They can make or break you in sooo many ways!

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

Good point! You can definitely regret not investing in a good pair of shoes especially when you walk around everywhere!

[@bellaberkshires6256]

Love your videos and especially the topic of today's! Please make more!!!

Thanks Bella! Glad you enjoyed it!!

I totally stopped cleavage since I'm dressing Classic Chic!🤔 I only wear bright colors as a Pop of color in the form of a scarf, a pair of earrings, shoes or handbag?

[@Sky22_00]

Kelly is so so gorgeous ❤️

[@ceer9141]

Both natural beauties! LOVE LOVE this video, great advice & fashion tips PLUS helpful tips about life in France. Maybe more videos with Kelly about more French Fashion tips! Love your channel, a big hi from Canada! 💜

Love Kelly’s hairstyle, where does she have a haircut?

[@kelly6281]

Fabi Barros I go to Messieurs Dames in the 3rd near Republique 😉

“Joseph” is a good company.

[@TheFrederic888]

Au cours d’une douzaine d’années passée dans littéralement les plus grosses multinationales françaises dans les années 1995-2007, je peux dire que cette mode des neutrals, blanc et noir, n’existait pas à l’époque. Les gens portaient de la couleur. La prochaine fois que je passe à Paris j’y prêterai attention. Le plus grand tout de force des parisiennes est, même en étant à la bourre, qu’elles arrivent en 5 min à se donner ce côté chic et naturel (et sexy). Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@raquelkutsch5600]

Love!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Sadly, Arket isn’t available in the US.

[@winniehchen]

Hi! Could you please let us know the jewelry brands that you mentioned?

[@ferielb.a9113]

It's Repossi and Ginette NY.

[@chateau7]

Is Retin-A (generic "tretinoin") popular in skincare there as it is in the U.S. along with sunscreen?

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

I'm not an expert but it seems like a lot of skin care here has retin-a and it's not difficult to order offline for example!

[@bonjourbernadette]

A313 is the OTC version of Retin-A in France!

[@nataliafilatova]

Super interesting! Dying to know what’s the brand for perfect white T-shirt

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

Good question! I just realized she never said what it was. I'll ask her and let you know :)

[@nfkpatton]

I'd like to know this too please x

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

Arket is the brand of tee-shirts that Kelly likes! She said "they are 39 euros so they aren't cheap but they strike the right balance between quality and price if you use them as a staple to your outfit." Voila!

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

Done!

[@nataliafilatova]

Unintentionally Frenchified perfect, thanks a lot!!! I’m in process of looking for a new white tshirt, this is super in time!

[@johnmuthan286]

You should mention how in other cities like Lyon for instance, women tend to be more dressier and put more attention to fashion than parisiens do...

Alors cette marque de T-shirts blancs???? You didn’t say the brand!!!!

[@christine9122]

I notice that French women like their thin gold bangles

[@MyDearHastings]

This video is not very relatable. I don't know anybody in Paris who will pay around a 1000 euros for a coat. Most Parisian women don't invest in luxury items. You can get beautiful coats or bags and shoes in nice little ateliers, were you will pay a fraction of the price of luxury brands.

[@kelly6281]

Hi! You are right! There are definitely plenty of brands and boutiques in Paris that offer staple pieces for lower budgets than some of the brands I mentioned for long term investments, which are only some of my personal favorites :) I hope you were still able to relate to some of the other points in this video!

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

I would try to focus more on the points and less on Kelly's favorite brands if they aren't in your price range for investment pieces! I personally can't afford most of the brands either, but I love getting an idea of what those brands are doing and finding similar pieces in my range in the smaller ateliers you are talking about! 👍

[@jellybeanparis584]

Kelly- what brand carries the T-Shirts you mentioned? Also you mentioned a Brand called “Arquette”? Is that the correct spelling? I loved the blouse with the Hands on the Collar & Cuffs. Who makes the shirt or what store in Paris carries that blouse? I used to live in Paris in 2004-2006, but travel there frequently from Los Angeles, California. I love shopping in France 🇫🇷❤️

[@Puda]

We do when it comes to bags. But that's about it really.

[@erzsebetnilsson580]

your sister in-law have a VERY MUCH of a MONA LIZA LOOK at least to me

[@travelsaddict8952]

Mango = bad quality and badly cut clothing

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

I would def. agree that the quality isn't fantastic, but I didn't get a badly cut clothing vibe from there. But im sure that's really personal based on your body type!

[@OptLab]

I wonder if lost jewelry respect human rights and fair trade. Perhaps high costs also not anyway.

[@arnaudvaugeois6574]
