What is better anyway? Looking elegant or chic? What is the secret of French elegance?

Fashion designers do not talk about this, maybe they themselves do not know?

Do not flatter yourself, they know and how they know, but it's like faith, they tell everyone about it, without giving out main secret: What is God?

We will deal with fashion, for someone it is no less important than the secrets of being.
Americans, for the most part, have already come to terms with the fact that they cannot comprehend the secrets of elegance and have fallen into chic wealth, young people wear carat diamonds, comb their hair in the image and likeness of Jennifer Aniston, and with makeup, dressed in pajamas (like Britney Spears) shop through the endless American malls.

MTV plays videos around the clock with gorgeous aliens who do not belong to any known race.

Who are the fashionistas of today?

The average European girl (let's agree to call everyone up to forty so) is influenced by American design, she is dressed in cheap-expensive clothes, what does this mean? And the fact that these clothes are made of cheap fabrics (the maximum price of which is 5 euros per meter)

However, these clothes cost quite decently, blouses from thirty to fifty euros, trousers from forty to eighty, jackets revolve around one hundred and twenty.

A European can afford to buy new clothes at such prices for each season, these clothes are not practical and will not last longer anyway.

The public believes that fashion is fleeting, and it seems to suit everyone.

The design of these clothes is often freshly stolen directly from the catwolk, but what?

They changed a little somewhere and we do not accept claims, of course, not Europeans became the pioneers in this matter, these would not have had the spirit. This innovation was brought by the Turks, Indians, Chinese, I remember fifteen years ago, here in Europe they were distrustful of newly born stores like Esprit, Mehh, and now wherever you are in Cologne or Barcelona, London or Marseille, everywhere you see familiar signs, there is nothing to be done about globalization, and people are dressed approximately the same in Moscow or Berlin ...
But there is, there is a reserve in the world good taste, this country has long attracted people like a magnet, they tried there and only there to comprehend the secrets of fashion ..
Why do French people know how to dress and others don't?

A French mother teaches a girl to be fashionable from childhood.

In a children's store, you can hear how a young mother with her daughter and the seller discuss the style and advantages of the dress for half an hour.

If the rest of the Europeans buy almost boyish outfits for girls, and in the schoolyard in Germany or Holland, girls are almost all in jeans, then in France, especially little ones, all in dresses, beautiful skirts, blouses and excellent shoes.

French mothers are not too lazy even to curl their children's hair, make beautiful hairstyles, let down girls' hair, pinning it up beautifully, many have dresses with white collars and coats instead of jackets.

The girls look like princesses.

I especially liked the little girls' red coats with black velvet collars.

It looked so chic! When I see Hollywood stars with their offspring, for example, a couple of Pitts with kids, and I see frankly sick children, especially girls, I understand that this is so because their mother herself grew up in dysfunctional family never received proper care.

Cruz's girl is always shaggy and even in the cold without pantyhose, in dresses dangling on her. By the way, Keeti Holmes herself is also always poorly dressed. Yes, Suri even had a dress from Burberry, but it was ugly, just the famous check.

French women, teaching a girl from childhood to dress, always instill a desire for individuality.

In France, there are a lot of boutiques where you can find a dress in general in a single copy. French women are not frequent visitors to monster stores like C&A.

Therefore, growing up, these girls know what suits her and what does not.

The rest of the Europeans and Americans just look at the brand of clothing, if the brand has a sonorous name, we take it. Therefore, the lack of taste is often replaced simply by the monetary equivalent. Look how much money they paid for the dress!

But typically French style is a love of quiet things that don't scream for themselves. By the way, French girls almost never wear these terrible pink barbie colors!

French women adore black and gray, but for example in Paris, residents of the 16th arrondissement, the most prestigious, almost never wear black.

They all mostly go in delicate pastel clothes, love blue blouses, shirts, beige trousers and skirts. The color of the old rose at the dress, light green and sand ... and at the same time, almost everyone is very well-groomed.

French women visit hairdressers regularly, and rarely anyone can be seen with regrown roots, but it’s also impossible to say that she’s just from the master, French hairdressers make her hair somewhat disheveled. The famous French chic, non-chalant. What does careless mean.

A Frenchman or a Frenchwoman knows how to wear scarves.

Moreover, they have a lot of them in the wardrobe and teach children the same way from childhood. If you think they were born that way, you are wrong.

French children, just like adults, spend a lot of time in front of the mirror, trying on their outfits, choosing the right poses and gestures that suit them.

That is, they direct their behavior a little.

American women, even famous ones, go to Paris to gain charm. They leave with empty wallets and full bags, but they never know the secret.

One American friend complained that without her jewelry, she would feel naked, but the Frenchwoman looks great.

So, how is a Frenchwoman or a Frenchman dressed?

The main thing in their clothes is that it sits naturally, like skin.

Remember Carla Bruni hosted the Medvedev couple.

A simple knitted dress and everything, nothing more, not even a bra!

French women love skirts, sundresses, dresses, but they almost never wear a mini skirt, with all their freedom, a French woman is terrified of looking like a prostitute.

In clothes, they prefer natural fabrics, they love to bare their shoulders, blouses falling from one shoulder, a kind of Josephine Beauharnais style. French women like to wear tight, slightly short trousers, which makes their legs visually longer. As if, sorry, there is a small flood on our street!

Shoes? Here they are no longer stingy, whether it be boots with thick soles or slippers, it will almost always be of a good company, after the release of the film, Beauty of the Day, with Catherine Deneuve, the French women rushed to the shops for shoes, like the main character, remember with buckles , and so then they were sold 12 million pairs.

It's the same for men, it seems overgrown, but in fact, just a haircut.

Then, if, for example, a Russian man wears a suit, pay attention to the trousers, but it's indecent when you have such long trousers hanging down on your shoes!

The suit immediately takes on the appearance of a bag, the trousers of the trousers should barely touch the shoes (And the shoes? Shoes with a suit - only on thin soles with a tuxedo, please lacquer). The sleeves of the jacket should never be longer than the bone of the wrist!

The Frenchman will surely elegantly tie a handkerchief around his neck (If he doesn’t like a tie), and not only bohemians let go of their hair, but also simple ones too.

In winter, a man, regardless of age, is dressed in a raincoat, coat or jacket, and a beautiful scarf is tied around his neck.

Mitterrand, remember, is always in a scarf, so noble and elegant… (though it turned out to be a womanizer and squandered the state treasury…).

Often a Frenchman, jumping out of the office for lunch or just like that, takes a walk during a break, just in a suit, and around his neck is an expensive scarf over a suit or jumper.

Women really like it, and women also get marvelous scarves-tables for the winter and, going out into the street, elegantly chilly wrap themselves in them in the wind, men just want to warm the poor thing, and then you look and a casual conversation will start.

But French women treat jewelry in a peculiar way, they adore them and a French woman will not save on buying jewelry, but she will buy a product whose value is not so much in expensive stones as in individuality and beauty.

Often in uniqueness, for example, something antique, or they wear as a talisman, a family heirloom or some other expensive gift.

French women prefer bracelets, and ring earrings, rings often with huge semi-precious stones, regardless of fashion, boldly cling to a grandmother's brooch or an old chain. They love jewelry.

Audrey Tattoo has the only piece of jewelry in general - a ring that the dentist dad himself made from the patient's crown, in my opinion, this is a bit of an excess, but I repeat this style.

But they don’t save on bags and will buy the very best, in the Lafayette gallery in the department of bags there are always people, but there’s nothing to say about Chanel and Louis Vuitton bags, one French woman admitted to me that she would rather starve than save on clothes, for all their carelessness, they still dress mostly in expensive clothes, only the main rule is not to overdo it with color, makeup and jewelry.

I advise young girls in Russia, spit on the pursuit of brands and glamor, see what suits only you, stop dreaming about Guchs and others, sew for yourself good dress and a skirt! Just be unique!

One piece of advice for Russian women of about 40 who occupy leadership positions - sorry, forget about the style of noble weavers!

These standard short haircuts, rings, suits on heroic shoulders, reminiscent of military uniforms, blush all over the cheek and where did you get this lipstick color?

Was this recommended by your stylist? Then it's probably better to look elsewhere.

Yes, and most importantly! Go to the beach without makeup, and nature has generously rewarded you with everything else. .

How do French women dress?

France is often associated with the concepts: fashion, style, french chic. This country is considered a trendsetter and they are very surprised to see modestly and even somehow dull-dressed people on the French streets. Where is the high fashion ?

Do not forget that high fashion is an art that defines trends in the fashion industry, such clothes in Everyday life nobody wears. It's like putting on a museum piece. And here prêt-à-porter closer to life.
french fashion- refined, so it takes time and subtle perception to understand it, in the same way, you need to develop your taste in order to distinguish Bordeaux from Georgian wine.

Many Russians, having arrived in France for the first time, are surprised by the French way of dressing. After all, we often think that the more things, sparkles, flowers and bare parts of the body, the better, forgetting that there is such a thing as “vulgarity”. Of course, on the French streets, as in any other country, you can see anything you want. However, if you look closely, you can see those little subtleties that make up the individuality and style French women.

What is she like a Parisian street fashion? One of her distinguishing qualities is exquisite carelessness. A French woman dresses in such a way that no one will notice that she tried very hard. True French style does not mean slavishly following fashion. The French are well versed in fashion trends and clothing brands, but dressing only in these same “brands” is in bad taste.
Aerobatics in the ability to combine the seemingly incompatible. A thing from an expensive boutique can coexist with a cheap one bought in a supermarket, and slightly torn and frayed jeans with an expensive belt, cashmere or silk. Super fashionable update from the latest collection can be worn with a vintage "cloth" from the grandmother's wardrobe.

Stores selling items from old collections are very popular with French women. famous designers, not only because French women do not like to overpay for clothes, but, above all, because there you can find an excellent quality little thing that no one else has.
But on bags and shoes, French women will never save. In this country, it is believed that only expensive shoes can be truly comfortable, good quality. French women know how to pick up details and do not neglect them. You can often see interesting accessories on them, an original scarf, a beautifully thrown stole.

French women cherish their individuality, so they look very natural and organic. For them, comfort and relevance are important in clothes. Everything should be simple and convenient. Many note that the streets of France are mostly dark colors in clothes, although there are a lot of fun and colorful things in the shops.
There is an opinion that the very elusive charm began to disappear from modern French streets. Everything is replaced by simplicity and convenience, and real French elegance is inherent only in women over 40. When two French women walk - mother and daughter, the mother often looks better than her daughter.

Of course, everything depends on the city, and in the city and on the area in which people live, on their occupation and place of work. For example, in the Paris metro on line 1 (where many go to offices) in the morning you can see a lot of elegant Parisians, including young ones.
Unfortunately, some trends towards simplification in the manner of dressing exist now both in Europe and in America. So such trends could not touch France. Increasingly, jeans, trousers, T-shirts prevail on the streets; in the summer, most people wear slippers or flat sandals on their feet.

French women don't like high heels. A woman on high heels in broad daylight on French cobblestone pavements causes some bewilderment, alas, often these are our compatriots. An elegantly dressed madam or mademoiselle in the office will prefer shoes with low or medium heels.
The skirt can be slightly above or slightly below the knee (of course, with stockings) or long to the middle of the calf. And no mini-skirts and nothing defiant at all. Mostly young girls wear short skirts and dresses. If on the street you see a girl or a woman in a clear mini or in shorts up to "there is nowhere higher", then, most likely, madam is a tourist from Russia or its neighboring countries. Others don't dress like that.
Transparent - is also perceived without enthusiasm. In general, the most unacceptable combination for French women (so loved by many of our compatriots) is stiletto heels in combination with a miniskirt and neckline! If you really open, then one thing: or legs, or chest!

In general, in France it is not customary to dress up and show your financial solvency. Women and girls from higher circle, dress at first glance in very simple things, although in fact they are of very high quality and not cheap. And among young people, flaunting money and fashion labels is not at all acceptable.
French women know how to dress appropriately, and simply, comfortably, but at the same time remain elegant. It's amazing how sophisticated they look in summer in light-colored cotton trousers, discreet blouses and well-chosen jewelry. Now, to the theater, and to the opera, and to visit here, most often, they go dressed casually. You can also easily come to a restaurant, and not to the cheapest one, in jeans and a T-shirt, or in some very inexpensive clothes. And no one will cast contemptuous glances at you. That's where they dress in a festive way - so it's for a wedding.

Even French women are able to masterfully maintain beauty. According to statistics, French women spend more than all other European women on face and body care products. Taking care of yourself does not mean wearing makeup so that everyone can see it. You just need to look as natural as possible, and behind this "natural" there is a lot of effort. Minimal make-up on the face. It must be chosen very skillfully, tone on tone, in order to even out the skin well and give it a beautiful shade. This is the famous French makeup, which should be present, but not noticeable.

Almost all hair is tinted to enhance its natural color. Hair dye, like cosmetics, is used "tone on tone". This makes the hair more well-groomed, healthy, shiny, and "artificiality" is not striking. People rarely go with long hair in France, mostly girls and women prefer hair length just below the shoulders.

And they prefer short or medium length nails, although you can see long and even extended ones. But in France, as in all of Europe, long nails are bad manners. Take a look at famous fashion magazines , all the most sophisticated women in the world with short, well-finished nails, covered with colorless varnish. And nail art is complete absence taste.

Finally, the last, but very important detail in the image of a Frenchwoman is perfume. They are not just scented with them, they wear them, combining with color and style clothes, mood and even seasons.

Another article. You know about my addiction to collect everything in one post so that it is easy to find :)

The Frenchwoman is the standard of elegance, style, charm, feminine sophistication and beauty. She is a trendsetter. It dictates new principles and lifestyles. She is that feminine ideal that many aspire to, but which is not so easy to achieve. Who is she, this divine Frenchwoman, and how to become one without living in France?

Taste for life.

You will never meet a French woman who does not love life. Life is beautiful for her in all its manifestations. Even in the most difficult moments, a real Frenchwoman will never give up, she, with her inherent ease, will behave as if there is no problem at all. At the same time, many will think in the words of Andrei Makarevich's song: "the one who goes through life laughing cries at night." If she cries, she will immediately laugh at her tears, discard sadness and, with her head held high, boldly march forward in life, believing that the best, of course, is ahead.

French women have such a property - to start life anew, and no matter at what age, for many women life begins at 50 or even 60 years old. That is why in the country of love and romance women change their image so often (as a rule, this happens once or twice a year). This is a wonderful property that helps a woman to constantly keep her tone, be in dynamics, follow fashion and just cheer up.

French women say: "to cheer up, sometimes it's enough just ... to wash your hair." Such a simple attitude to things, that ease with which French women perceive the joys and sorrows of life, and makes them so attractive and charming to others.

The Frenchwoman nurtures her intellectual level in the same way as her appearance. He constantly reads newspapers, watches the news, understands politics and economics, attends exhibitions and concerts.

Friendship for French women means a lot. They are sure that it is given from above and for life. But Liaison very often passé again.

Non-committal flirting in France is always welcome, no matter how closely a woman is bound by marriage. This increases self-esteem and raises the tone.

The Frenchwoman's most secret secret is very simple: she actually has a secret! Every French woman has her own "jardin secret" (secret garden), which she carefully keeps in her heart throughout her life. Even if it's just a dream of meeting a prince, a secret hobby or love affair that no one will ever know about.
Appearance.

A French woman who doesn't take care of herself is not French. There is no need to talk about the fact that the leading roles in the field of fashion and cosmetics have long been assigned to French companies. Paris regularly hosts haute couture weeks. You might think that all Parisians, as one, unquestioningly follow fashion trends. Yes, they follow, but, as the unsurpassed Coco Chanel said, "individual taste decides everything, and universally recognized - nothing." That is why you are unlikely to be able to draw a single line in appearance French women. Of course, there are certain patterns, such as preference for black in clothes, simplicity of outfits and a minimum of jewelry and cosmetics in everyday life, but you will not find those incubator echoes of fashion that, unfortunately, are so characteristic of our Russian reality. “Fashion should be accepted, otherwise you will look ridiculous,” as Chanel said, “However, new items should be accepted imperceptibly, in small portions.”

The obligation to be beautiful every day is inherent in the French woman almost on a subconscious level, and she takes care of herself primarily for herself, but "women who do not listen to men in matters of fashion often become a laughingstock," said Chanel, who devoted great attention male opinion. She once remarked: "Men like women who are well dressed, but not conspicuous." And French women seem to follow exactly this principle.

She does not pursue new cosmetics and perfumes, preferring proven and always fashionable classics: “Chanel No. 5" or "J'adore" by Dior. The more natural the makeup, the better. A little mascara and lip gloss is enough. Evening option - false eyelashes and red lipstick.

The style of the French fashionista is always feminine and romantic, even a little feigned. For example, a light chiffon blouse with jeans or a leather miniskirt with a knitted half-belt are clothes worthy of a French fashionista. Everything looks very ordinary and modest, but not without the charm of seductiveness.

“The main thing is convenience” - the motto is not for a Frenchwoman. Therefore, she often wears shoes with heels. “The main thing is it's beautiful!”

For convenience and self-esteem, beautiful underwear is a must! Not only on special dates, but also for every day. The same goes for tights and stockings. Saving on their quality is not for a Frenchwoman.

Oddly enough, French women prefer to wear glasses rather than contact lenses, considering such an accessory to be very seductive and emphasizing individuality.

Sex life.

France is traditionally considered the country of love, and French- the international language of love. For a long time, the French were credited with special passion, and indefatigability in love pleasures, and innumerable victories on the "passion front" ...

And is it really so?

In 1992, studies were carried out in France that showed that sex life The French, in general, are not very different from the habits of the inhabitants of other countries of Europe and America. Surprisingly, despite the fact that the French and French women are famous for their love of love, they are by no means the leader in the number of sexual partners throughout their lives.

A Frenchman enters into close relationships with an average of 13 women during his life, for comparison, an American - with 16. American women have 6 partners, and French women - only 4. But the French maintain close relationships with their partners longer and, as a result, have sex more often . Residents Western Europe and the United States more often change partners in their younger years - from 18 to 29 years, and French women "take their own" in old age - from 50 to 59 years.

For a modern Frenchwoman, no matter how sad it may be, family and children fade into the background. First, they have a job. Moreover, for a very long time they can work only for the idea, while receiving a penny. The French rarely arrange marriage, but if they come together, then the relationship between them is no worse than officially formalized. Treason is no exception, but they are committed and said goodbye with the ease characteristic of the French. After all, there is nothing higher than that burning, even fleeting, feeling of love. "Love rules the world," say the French.

Nutrition.

"Five minutes in the mouth - a lifetime in the thighs" is a well-known French proverb. Indeed, among French women you rarely meet a full lady. Does it depend on nutrition? Perhaps, but somewhere I read that if a Russian woman eats fat-free yogurt, then a French woman can afford goose pate.

Most likely, that harmony, which is almost the first in the list of classic qualities of a French woman, lies in the way of life. You will never see a French woman with a plate of something to eat in front of the TV. In general, French women, as a rule, do not cook, and for the most part they do not know how. But dinner for the French is sacred. Here they work age-old traditions when all family members and friends gather at the same table and have a conversation.

The famous French deli Bria-Saverin in his book "Psychology of Taste" devoted many pages to the French art of keeping up a conversation while eating. He also wrote a curious thing: "French women do not chase expensive products and do not hesitate to serve yesterday's soup meat for dinner, but a side dish will be required."

Does this speak of the frugality of the French? Speaks.

Thrift.

On the streets of Paris, you can often see such a picture: how a beautiful woman puts an ugly motorcycle helmet on her head, saddles a steel horse and leaves somewhere towards the Moulin Rouge. "Why spend more when you can spend less!" - the Frenchwoman will tell you. But she will never save on herself.

Self respect.

In a relationship with her lover, she always remains a sovereign person. He doesn’t make a scene about a missed call, doesn’t express dissatisfaction with him, doesn’t get jealous for no particular reason. On the contrary, a man always gets the impression that she is too busy to think about such trifles. And to achieve its location, you still need to try.

A Frenchwoman does not hang herself around her neck and does not behave depravedly. But you can get to know her easily and without problems. And this is also her secret. Instead of sitting at home on the couch, he goes to a cafe on Sunday afternoon and reads a book there. In the evening, he is not going to gossip with his girlfriends in the kitchen, but goes out with them to a bar, to a disco or just to the nearest park. Thus, she gives more chances to men to get to know her!

75% of Russians spend their first date together. A French woman often invites her admirer to a party with friends. So she can impress him not only with her appearance, but also with her culinary abilities. And at the same time, watch how he communicates with other people, whether it fits into her lifestyle.

In relations with a man, a French woman observes the principle of Laisser-faire: she accepts her partner as he is, without trying to remake him to fit her template. Instead of moaning: “Why don’t you notice me?”, The French woman “prescribes” her man with jealousy therapy. Understanding that other men find you attractive has a much more effective effect on a man than your pleas for his attention. The recipe for happiness in a relationship is very simple: a man appreciates her because he knows that he can lose her.

"A French woman will perceive inattention from men as a personal insult."

Maybe it's the French men? It is their gallantry, courtesy that allows a woman to feel that she is a woman. One can argue for a long time what is primary and what is secondary. But the unshakable fact is that, first of all, a woman's personal self-respect, with what feeling she presents herself in society, how she behaves.

For example, a French woman considers it above her dignity to come into conflict with someone on the street, and even more so to swear. She is always sweet, friendly and very polite. So, if you are going to live the life of a real Frenchwoman, start by saying hello to people before asking anything, whether it's a cashier on the subway or a passerby on the street...

Sergey Anashkevich writes: May all women forgive me for this post. I wanted to write it after my first trip to France, but somehow it didn't work out. French women. One of my biggest disappointments in this beautiful country.

I don’t know how it is for anyone, but for me France has always been associated with beauty, haute couture, sophistication, style and beautiful women. But with beautiful women there is a real problem. No, of course they meet from time to time, but compared to how many beautiful ones we have, they simply don’t exist here ...

French women are known for their ability to maintain a figure and fresh skin. Moreover, they have longer duration life. Michel Zime, a well-known Parisian doctor and TV presenter, has written a book on the secrets that allow French women to maintain their youthful appearance despite their age. He described how to look great at any age, and the tips turned out to be very simple. You can try them too!

Drink like a sommelier

Many people drink to keep up with the group, but this can quickly turn into bad habit. It harms the heart, dries out the skin and hair, shortens life. Drink like a sommelier. Just pour some wine into a beautiful glass and take a sip. Enjoy the aroma, keep the wine in your mouth longer. If you are used to drinking every night, try to do it less often, constantly increasing the number of sober days.

Buy expensive sunglasses

If you don't protect your eyes sunlight, you may be at risk of cataracts. Glasses should be wide enough, up to the eyebrows, with good lenses and UV protection.

Eat garlic

The French eat a lot of garlic. It is an excellent antioxidant that protects cells from free radicals that accelerate the aging process. In addition, garlic protects against colon cancer and heart disease. In addition, garlic reduces the risk of breast and prostate cancer.

Wash out the fridge

The older a person is, the weaker his immune system is. That is why it is so important to protect yourself from various dangerous viruses and bacteria. The refrigerator is the ideal place for them to grow, so be sure to keep it clean or it will turn into a breeding ground for harmful microorganisms and mold. Clean your refrigerator at least twice a month. Do not use chemical cleaners, just use a sponge with vinegar, and then wipe everything with a dry, clean cloth.

Take care of your neckline

Many women care about the face and neck, but forget about the skin of the décolleté. The skin there stretches and becomes too thin. Try to moisturize your skin daily, there are even special creams that you just need to apply in a circular motion. This stimulates the production of collagen, which restores skin elasticity. Cleanse your skin with a gentle scrub. Use sunscreen in spring and summer. Apply perfume on clothes - it dries out the skin.

Dine in style

Treat food as a pleasant ritual. Set the table and then eat deliciously. You don't have to do it in front of the TV. It takes twenty minutes for the brain to realize that the stomach is full. If you eat in front of a screen, you eat more and chew less, so it's easy to miss the moment when you should stop eating. French women do not exhaust themselves with trendy diets, they just eat in moderation and know how to do it gracefully.

Learn french exercises

To protect yourself from osteoporosis, exercise in the water. Aqua aerobics and underwater cycling are the best views fitness. When you are underwater, your heart rate slows down and your workout becomes more efficient. In addition, water serves as an additional load on the muscles, while the load on the joints, on the contrary, is reduced. In addition, water massages the entire body. In France, many people go to such training, and those who live near the coast run in chest-deep water. Such exercises are extremely useful and effective.

Find the perfect pillow

In order to maintain health as long as possible, it is necessary to provide proper rest for the joints and ligaments, especially in the neck. If you suffer from neck pain, it's time to choose a pillow High Quality. If you like to sleep on your back, choose a firm pillow, and if you like to sleep on your stomach, choose a thin, elastic pillow that will keep your neck in a straight line with your spine.

Pay no attention to the little things

If you are constantly worrying and blaming yourself for something, lead healthy lifestyle life becomes difficult. Remember that no one is perfect. The most important thing is to accept it once and for all. In addition, the world is not black and white, everything is much more complicated. This is what makes us unique, complex and interesting. Strive for perfection is exhausting. Follow your desires and live to the fullest! Confident man looks especially beautiful.

The ideal of a Frenchwoman - through the eyes of a Frenchwoman ...

Charlotte Gainsbourg

There is a stereotype in the world that all French women are sophisticated, sexy, feminine, airy creatures, a little frivolous, windy and charming... Inspirers and creators. Sounds strange?
In the 18th century, they created conversation clubs for men, where Voltaire and Rousseau were inspired...
There was a time when it was. But now, unfortunately, they have changed. And those who correspond to this image, alas, become less and less.
France is ceremonial, softness, brilliance, discreet chic, lost grandeur...
Homeland - feminism, fashion, perfume, wine and cheese ...

Michelle Mercier is the same Angelique, but in fact she is not a blonde.

Paris is a museum, the former capital of the world, the place of residence of many peoples, a colossal number of migrants. Despite the internal alienation of foreign influence by the native French, the culture of the Anglo-Saxons, Americans, Arabs is increasingly invading the culture of France itself, the way of life, morality, and the perception of the surrounding reality. It is sad to see Paris and France in general lose itself...
But back to women. What are they now? They are independent, independent, equal. For example, you can see a woman bus driver as often as a man.
Education, career and solidity are the main things in the life of most French women, they are in no hurry to get married and even PAX is a serious decision in their eyes.
Many young French women pay little attention to their appearance, rarely use makeup, and are indifferent to clothes. Many smoke, although now there are fewer of them. Older women smoke electronic cigarettes. Own hair, usually clean, very rarely dyed, sometimes uncombed. Wigs, hairpieces and the like are worn only by black women ... Everyone is usually dressed in black, or dark colors. There are those who follow fashion and dress fashionably, and it will still be dark colors. If you saw bright colors, then 99.9% is not French! A lot of people are wearing jeans: classic and dark colors, torn and frayed, expensive and mostly expensive branded ones). Shoes ... Sneakers or sneakers! Anytime and anywhere! Even in the theater, at the ballet, at the opera, however, they still try to change their shoes there. (A T-shirt, jeans and sneakers - they don’t shock anyone! A lady in an evening dress can sit next to her - again, 99.9% is not French! A man in a tuxedo and a man in a T-shirt are nearby). Rarely high-heeled shoes, even less often boots, high heel- this is exotic ... Alas ... Many people wear glasses, this is not a tribute to fashion, really bad eyesight. French women are rarely fat, that's a fact! But food service establishments like McDonald's have successfully invaded and are rapidly developing, becoming very popular. Perhaps soon French women will become like American women. So far, they know how to dose everything around them, to be graceful, slender, to seem, or to be well-groomed, you can see tattoos and piercings, but less often than among German women. The chest of a French woman is a rarity, but the legs are usually beautiful and slender. The hair of the girls is long, in the bulk you can see brown-haired women and brunettes.
But less and less girls wear short skirts and shorts, the neckline is less and less visible ... There are situations when a schoolgirl wearing short shorts is insulted and beaten in a public place, her peers, calling her a whore!!! Claiming that she was indecently dressed!!! Of course, this is where there are many migrants from the Maghreb countries.
There are many women with their heads covered, especially in the south and in Paris ... But for now:

The style of French women is distinguished by elegant simplicity. Even in a simple blouse with jeans, they look French sophisticated.

How French women dress And what principles do they follow when choosing clothes for their wardrobe?

1. Learn to be small

A dressing room in a French woman's house is a rarity. She doesn't need a lot of storage space.

The minimum number of things is the first rule of French fashion. Instead of 10 pairs of trousers in different styles and colors, get two that can be easily combined with other things.

In accordance with this principle, the rest of the clothes and accessories are selected.

The point is that the problem called “nothing to wear” has one cause - an overcrowded closet. But the less clothes there are, the better you learn to create a variety of sets from the same things.

2. Wear nice underwear

Underwear is a thing that is not worth skimping on. It makes you feel feminine and attractive.

And then everything that is worn over it ceases to have importance- in any case, you will be sure of your attractiveness.

There are no special rules for the choice of color and style, the main thing is that the linen is of good quality and fits in size.

3. Prioritize the Basics

Buying a fifth dress with sequins or a T-shirt with a bright print can bring a lot of joy, but a good wardrobe is distinguished by a good base.

Basic things make it possible to choose the right set for any occasion.

Do you have plain cotton T-shirts, quality jeans, simple sweaters, dress shoes in your closet? If not, you should go shopping.

After all, such things are very practical, allow you to create truly stylish outfits.

4. Choose quality

French women follow this principle exactly, despite the fact that the opportunity to update the wardrobe is very tempting, especially during the sales period.

Instead of buying cheap stuff of dubious quality, they save money on really nice clothes allowing them to look luxurious.

Aim for a large number clothes can be interesting, but impractical.

Thanks to the fact that French women buy quality basics in neutral shades, their stylish looks are so popular.

5. Wear things that fit.

Maybe, small size on the dress tag will raise self-esteem, but the figure in it will not look slimmer.

If a thing does not fit well, it presses, it emphasizes the flaws of the figure, do not buy it, otherwise it will be useless to follow all the other principles of French fashion.

To look elegant and fashionable, you need to choose only those clothes that adorn the figure and have the right size.

6. Be groomed

French women love to take care of themselves. You can spend a huge amount on the purchase of quality clothes, but everything will be to no avail if you do not pay attention to yourself.

Regularly do manicures and pedicures, change your haircut, pay attention to the condition of the skin and hair. Then you will look great even in the simplest outfit.
