#French #Scandinavian #style

[@marmary5555]

I'm raised in France and Sweden. And the biggest differences in style are the following: *French = Chic and timeless* *Swedish = trendy, accessible and avant-garde*

[@honestitis]

I’m Norwegian and I would say a well-fitting pair of blue jeans, plus a classic wool winter coat and well-made quality everyday boots would be the must- haves in here Oslo. I think the Scandinavian must-haves in this video are more relevant for teenagers and people in their early twenties. When you pass 25 your priorities change.

[@lsamoa]

@Thornback Same in Northern Sweden. Stocholmers really have a thing of their own.

[@marieeeee2135]

Yes, in trondheim it is kinda the same. My go-to's in summer are a nice pair of shorts, flowy wideleg trousers, a denim skirt, and matched with a nice singlet, a flowy cropped shirt, and a t-shirt. In fall/winter I love to wear high waisted jeans with sweaters of every colour

[@cmkristi]

I agree. I'm Norwegian too.

[@LoveBeliefTruth]

I'm from Finland and to me her tips also seem like a trendy twenty something tips, than something.... eh, stylish? Of course, people in Stockholm have different style taste as me. I'd never ever put on those things! What she's telling about French style makes sense to me though.

[@sindyfashionnerd5874]

Lucky to have lived in both countries...I think one factor makes Scandinavian style unique is that they’re TALL!!! So they can pull off the Acne Studio kinda look really well, which can look really frumpy if you don’t have the height and bone structure.

[@oxford_phd]

You can tell how proud Justine is of French style! Love the slightly mischievous smile and sparkle in the eyes ;)

[@Jenny-ru4hf]

I'm Swedish but I like the french style more, and how they think. I don't follow trends, I just try to find pieces that look good on me and that I can wear for a long time.

[@laidikirsta9122]

I'm Swedish and I live in Stockholm, and I've always felt weird about the compulsion to change style every single year. It's like people don't have any actual personal opinions, they just follow whatever is on fashion at that point. I guess I'm more French in that sense, I really like the thought of finding what fits me, and go for that. I feel a lot freer in that, I don't have to get something new just because a magazine told me my best trousers are no longer "in". Besides, if you want to try to get away from fast fashion, it's kind of impossible to change your style several times a year. And another thing: Justine, where is your petrol blue coat from? It is fantastic! I've been looking for one like that for ages. :)

[@justineleconte]

my coat is from Comptoir des Cotonniers (from a year when that color was everywhere - right now it is almost impossible to find)

[@chloe5435]

I think all the French style is about '' how to forget fashion '' that's why timeless clothes are our preferred

[@jaydeo7850]

America is the like that too. I like timeless pieces, but I also really like black, silver, and pastels lol. I don't care if something is on trend or not, but once in a while I'll follow a trend that I really do like the aesthetic of.

[@istanbulfashionaddic]

same almost in Denmark, trends rule people alot.

[@soilgrasswaterair]

*The more secure people are the more they dress for themselves and not to fit into a group.* You see one item on a few people and the following two weeks every other female is wearing the exact same item. It’s almost as if they worry they will be pushed out of their social circle if they don’t obey the current fashion trend. I find this extra interesting when discussing fashion and so many express they dress in clothes they don’t like because it’s what you are ”suppose” to wear, and not what they genuinly feel like wearing. Why live for strangers when it’s your money you spend and the items go on your own body?! Work on meeting those who are insecure and take the right to critique your fashion decisions. And I know so much what you speak of since I grew up in central Stockholm.

[@LoveBeliefTruth]

Light beige trench coat brings up memories from my childhood in Finland, when during 1st of May celebrations everyone was wearing it, with our student hat, serpentine around the neck and bottle of sparkling in one hand and balloon in the other. It was like a style nightmare to me!

[@love_agapi_m3976]

I like how respectful you both are in talking about differences in fashion styles. Love this

[@paraplyen]

Great video! As a Scandi myself I think in general people dress very practical here. We need shoes that don't get ruined in a puddle and a coat that can protect us from the rain.

[@cmkristi]

Agreed!

[@Off_the_clock_astrophysicist]

I like how sneakers were not even on the radar screen for Justine.

[@ccz2852]

Its like she was scandalized I enjoyed her reaction a lot 😂😂😂

[@rhoeasie]

I'm Finnish, and when Justine asked about the hairstyle my mind instantly screamed "messy bun" haha. It's everywhere! Combine that with a sweater, leggings and trainers and you've got a 15 year old Scandi girl

[@taryn.b]

One thing both of you are is efficient! I love a video that gets straight to the topic, no long intros carrying on and on about absolutely nothing.

[@TheMuffinKitty]

I live in Sweden, everyone here wears full black clothes 😂

[@sandyfobi4396]

Same in Finland

[@pinkdipi]

I'm from Finland and I agree with all the Scandinavian "facts" beside the trench. If I'd have to name a third wardrobe essential, it would maybe be a leather jacket or a padded coat.

[@rhoeasie]

Yeah I'm Finnish too and I can't really think of a season when we could wear a trench coat! It's always either too cold or too hot. I now live in the UK and I've just started wearing my thin coat (not a trench coat but similar fabric), and I will get a couple of month's wear out of it this season

[@lyndahuggus4880]

I live in Stockholm, and I hardly ever see trenchcoats! When the weather gets warmer it’s all about the cropped jackets.

[@berry7590]

I agree with you. I thought she will mention stripes . Or flower prints for some reason.😂 Finnish girls uniform in a way.

[@victoria87cub]

lol

[@lise891]

As a Norwegian I have to agree, from spring until late summer/early fall, it's usually a leather jacket or at least cropped jackets, and for the winter it's usually a padded coat. I also disagree about the jewelry, I rarely see Norwegian women with lots of it..

[@JennyMustard]

this is so much fun ! it's so cool to see myself on your channel, hihi ! :)

[@justineleconte]

same for me! I have your video in my subscription feed and it feels weird :-D

[@mateusbrazil9487]

You two are the best youtubers in my opinion. Great to see you both working together. This video was perfect.

[@vegeroot1711]

elegant work you two! looking fwd to seeing the series ;-D

[@AnjaliKumari-bq8lf]

I didn't come on any channel but it was fun watching both videos😘 .....

[@nailafreilich]

Jenny Mustard Nice collab!!! And how wonderfully unexpected!!!! Two of my favorite KZbinrs together 🤗

[@tamcon72]

Liked the the use of side-by-side footage to demonstrate the points each of you made; really emphasized the differences/similarities clearly! Enjoyed this very much; TFP : )

[@kellytaylor7534]

Classic hair French style is bangs with messy medium hair. Just like you wake up in the morning!

[@naamahnotorious955]

I'm Flemish, Belgian. I would consider my style more French. I also find it funny that of all people Scandinavian people, known for their environmentally progressive ideas, could hold such a consumeristic view on fashion in going for trendy. Guess nobody's perfect! Interesting video.

[@justineleconte]

It can also be seen as a fun hobby?

[@masha7377]

Me, too! :) Especially about the jewelry, I hardly ever buy myself any, but instead get them as gifts or buy them on "special occasions" like on vacation, so everything has sentimental value. The only scandinavian youtuber I follow is Signe from Use Less, she's Danish and all about capsule wardrobes, sustainability while still staying chique. She mixes french and scandinavian style pretty well I think :)

[@naamahnotorious955]

Oh, it wasn't meant as judgment, a girl loves what a girl loves. It was just very unexpected. Most Scandinavians I know (mostly Finnish I'll admit) seem so functional and down to earth that I just can't seem to picture them as trying to follow trends.

[@amandasuomi773]

In my opinion it comes from the fact that they often admire (in this context) American (pop) culture :) (no juging intended either :p)

[@mann7298]

a finn popping in here. i barely own any trendy pieces, or if i do, ive liked them so much that ive worn them a few seasons. and i also skip many trends. im finding myself going towards the more classic and simple pieces. went to stockholm a few weeks ago and a lot of the people seemed to be very on trend. a lot more than in finland imo. maybe we arent as trendy as people in sweden :-) then again everyones different, im sure we can find both types in both countries.

[@estherhadassa1061]

I'm more French-oriented when it comes to dressing myself, though I'd go for Scandi interior design (maybe because I love building IKEA flatpacks).

[@MathildaFlow]

I'm swedish and I've never been comfortable changing my style with the trends. I've kind of always had "my own style", which is more steered towards timeless pieces. Love having my hair in a bun though! I usually get compliments for being stylish and having my own style even though it's just simple, well fitting clothes of good quality.

[@MathildaFlow]

And oh, I LOVE my jewelry that I've inherited from my grandmother or great grandmother.

[@CroixdeLorraine]

@@MathildaFlow Sounds like you have a great sense of style, love that you wear some inherited pieces of jewelry!! You can't go wrong with classic, but individual style!!

[@LooBass]

Justiiine I guessed all your answers in advance! which means I really learned from you the French style basics : )

[@JosephaGuillaume]

Lo Bass me too 😄😎

[@1015SaturdayNight]

We are also sentimental in America about jewelry - my favorite pieces are from family, my husband, friends. Wedding jewelry is a big one, passed down through generations.

[@PerpetualJoy]

The biggest thing I noticed when I studied in France was how muted people's outfits were. Lots of black, everything well tailored or form fitting, barely any baggy clothes, and white sneakers or black/tan chunky heels were popular when I was there. The ankle thing with guys where the pants are almost "flooding" or cuffed shorter was popular there before it was here in the states. Everybody wore nice shoes. Nobody was walking around with scuffed or peeling shoes unless they were another exchange student.

[@evelynbaron2004]

I absolutely loved this conversation! More of them please whenever possible. While watching this I was bemused; my sister and I and 2.5 yrs apart; I fall down firmly on the French side, except for heels because of back problems, while my sis would easily fit into Scandinavian style. In fact I, who am not always aware of fashion trends, can guess what they are just by looking at how my sis is dressing or wearing her hair. Fascinating!!!!

[@tangerinetangerine4400]

It's the contrasts and similarities between different cultures that are so fun and interesting. Also I would like to see a clip that discusses other cultures influence on your own! For instance the oriental influence in fashion in Europe. :)

[@ingridleask4236]

TangerineTangerine that would be super cool!

[@merthur88]

Justine please do more of these, it would be so informative and interesting! (comparing cultures)

[@kirstenfox182]

I second this!

[@TheNicoliyah]

Ha ha I asked the same thing on Jenny's channel!

[@MminaMaclang]

The collab I've been waiting for!!!

[@coastandmountains2171]

TWO OF MY FAVORITES!

[@flatterdd]

Two of my favorite youtubers together!!! Planets must be aligned!

[@JosephaGuillaume]

Following you both from the beginning it is totally weird and perfectly normal at the same time, seeing you both together. Love LOVE!!

[@BooksIntoTheLight]

Simply...amazing!

[@kathyparrow1390]

I ***LOVE*** the concept of this video. Thanks for making this.

[@katparadox4339]

Love this collaboration! My two favourite youtubers together! I lived in London and Paris and I'm happy I have sensed the French style correctly when I lived there. My wardrobe went through a big change when I moved from London to Paris, and again when I moved to Amsterdam!

[@michelles9897]

Omg so cool I ❤️ you both!! What a wonderful video today! 💕💕💕

[@garlicgirl3149]

I love learning about beauty in different cultures! Thanks!

[@tvsma]

Two of my favorite KZbinrs!! So cool. Really enjoyed. Love you both!

[@katerinaharnetiaux490]

I was so excited to see this collab first on jenny's channel and now over here!!!

[@lauraescobedo3426]

Love it!!! Comparing cultures

[@missmatti]

Another difference, that you did touch upon a bit but not fully, is that Swedish people that has a less trend driven style generally like to dress in classic clothes that they like a more preppy & sporty look which I rarely seen in France.

[@michristina]

Yayyy 2 of my favorites! This is my kind of sunday

[@EmmylouSagusayHenderson]

Mi Christina me too!

[@a45728]

love this! two of the greatest styles out there

[@hechamugre]

Still made my day !!! 😍😍😍

[@skrogers86]

[@evanovak4734]

It was really interesting to hear about two countries fashion and habits.

[@julielucky24]

I was hoping to see you together for a very long time!! I am so happy ❤ I actually discovered Jenny's channel after watching your videos on capsule wardrobe and minimalism. And you are two of my favorite youtubes! Greetings to you both! 😊

[@anahewett9338]

Very nice to see you two together!💖

[@BeaMuniz]

Two of my favorite you tubers!!! love you both! Keep up the good work!!

[@skyoflustxx]

Best video EVER, I really like both of you girls! :))

[@tihanaharrison6728]

I loved watching the style comparisons with you two, and my husband enjoyed watching it with me. He asks if you have done other videos comparing styles like this in other countries? I'd love to see more like this, it was great watching it!

[@tribbles2955]

A pleasure to watch.

[@jocharkingdom7819]

Two of my favourite youtubers. Both r sophisticated and inspirational! Love this video!

[@BessieRAHH]

No way! I follow and adore both of you inspirational ladies!! This is awesome :D

[@rsnide1891]

I loved this! And, just as note, I identified more closely with French on everything except the hair - I can’t do bangs & I can appreciate a good messy bun!!!

[@helenmathieu7808]

Thanks for sharing this was very interesting ! Please do more of these !

[@ArteoftheMist]

This was so fun! I'd love to see more "country" comparisons. Off to see the other 5 questions!

[@denisaivancinova995]

A dream came true by having these two wonderful youtubers in a collab! I haven't realized until now that both of you live in Berlin ♥ I love you girls! Your devoted Slovak fan :)

[@traceynewman2308]

Yay. I love you both.

[@tatianaovcharova9388]

Great questionnaire! Really I see now the big difference between these two styles

[@marcelamartinez3688]

It’s so cool to see you girls together. I follow you both of your channels and love your content!

[@justineleconte]

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday! Were these answers what you expected?? 😁 How do you see the style of Scandinavian women? Don't forget to check out Jenny's video, to know what a Scandinavian girl and a French girl wouldn't be caught dead in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqa0onV4qKeVpNE

[@lisaannejane2]

Wouldn't the weather have a big impact on fashion choices? I would think that coats would be important in areas that get snow. And boots.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I loved this video - such a fab idea and super interesting. I’d love to do a similar video with you comparing French versus New Zealand fashion. May be tricky given we live a gazillion miles away tho 🙊😂

[@annabirch2249]

I'm danish and in the winter we have to dress for the cold, which means spending a lot of money on a big coat and some boots to go with. Even though the clothes have to be warm we still try to be as fashionable as possible :)

[@Lionorelle]

I live in Norway and I don't see people trying to follow trends at all cost, or overload on jewelry. And I'd pick a leather jacket or a wooly/warm coat as a staple, rather than a trench coat any day. Fun video though! It's never going to be easy, or possible really, to sum up an entire nation's "style", and Jenny is trying to do 3-in-1 😂

[@danamahmoud951]

Justine Leconte officiel ♥️🤗

[@mercedes-benzbentleyranger1070]

I love French fashion more though. Anyway, you both so beautiful and nice accents.

[@catherineanderson4755]

Fascinating!

[@jasminj.844]

yeeeeeiiii,thanks for this collab!!

[@takadoshika5]

I loved the video and the chat, I think most people recognise their locals when they are abroad :)) there is something about each nationality

[@arlinejernigan]

I loved this too, and yes do more like it. I definitely fall more under the french girl category,

[@saraream133]

Two of my favorite ladies in one video! Thank you from the US.

[@simonamay1684]

I have been watching both of your channel and I looove that you did a video together ❤️

[@emmanuellecornier5706]

Great idea to compare styles with other European countries!

[@cherkkiable]

wooow! 2 of my favourite stars together! ♡♡♡

[@astraholmes8751]

love these two, so great to see them together

[@Avrilbk]

Made my day beautiful! Love you both.

[@joanamarchana4602]

Can't believe in this video! You two together, love this!!

[@Helen-xv7ot]

Although I am three times more Scandinavian than French, I have to say I follow the French style on each if the ten topics that you discussed. 😏

[@lindatisue733]

French have it figured out. It's tough to find quality clothes in Stockholm, unless you are 170 cm and 60 Kg.

[@LadyDragonbane]

Helen lanning Same! I was actually kind of embarrassed by the Scandi style...

[@julesbjeweled7891]

I must be French and didn't know it? I never go along with trends and have the same exact style that Justine described . Now it's time to watch the other link! 👍❤

[@amandab6034]

Super fun collab I love both channels so this made my morning!

[@SH-qp3qc]

Love watching you both. How fab to watch you together. Thanks girls
