Setting the Seine: Sarah’s Parisian Style Guide

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

Bonjour Fairfield!

It’s undeniable that Parisian style has an allure that we Americans have always been completely infatuated with. Simply walking down the streets of any arrondissement, you can easily identify true Parisian women by their chic and effortless look. Parisian style is classic, feminine, and simple. It’s about layering neutral colors like black, navy, and white together with red and gold accents to truly achieve the French I-woke-up-like-this look. With fashion weeks in full swing around the world, and Paris fashion week starting on September 23rd, here’s my guide to achieve a foolproof Parisian look!
