    My French Inspired Minimalist Wardrobe : Women's FAshion & Style
    Disclaimer:
    I am not claiming to be an expert on French style and I am not saying that all these points refer to every single person in France. This is just a wardrobe tour that I feel I can compare some of the french styling points I've heard made by French Women.

    I love your episodes. I grew up in Canada, went to Quebec, went to France, took 12 years of French. But never ever until I loved in the US did I hear stripes are French. I do not know where Americans got this idea or this history they have created about it, I have lived here 22 years now and every single time I ask someone why they think stripes are French, they give me a completely different answers. I should ask some friends that are from France and Quebec about the stripe stereotype invented by Americans, fact or myth, I have a burning desire to know 😃🤪🤣

    • @EmilyWheatley
      @EmilyWheatley  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you Shelli! So glad you like the episodes. The Breton stripe comes from the French Navy and I believe it was Coco Chanel who made it an iconic style. It's funny because I find most things in fashion come from a hard working gritty background. Khaki coming from the English Army, Jeans coming from Factory workers, etc. But to your point maybe these days it's more of a cliche. It wouldn't be the first time us Americans blow up a cliche :-)

    What is it about seeing OTHER people’s clothes that is so fun? Peeking in someone else’s closet is always a good time. I’d love to see a video of age and how that (should) affects how we dress...aging gracefully is tricky. Whether it’s from your late teens into your 20s and 30s, or your 40s into your 50s and 60s. But surely a classic basic wardrobe would make that easier. Maybe it’s just the tweaks and little add-one that could change depending on ones decade. Maybe you could explore that🧐🤔🤗

      I second that idea. I'm in my sixties and surprisingly dress quite a lot like you, Emily, except slim jeans instead of skinny and similar small tweaks. That's what I love about your and the French style: it's not only timeless, it's ageless. No surprise, since it's the French that seem to value and admire maturity in women unlike the youth obsessed US. Would also love a video where you speak to this topic. Love your sassy vibe, too! Keep em coming.

      @MsDeMandeville 4 роки тому +1

      I don’t wear much print to be honest. Definitely none in the tops department and maybe a few prints in dresses but I rarely wear them. I’ve got a couple of Temperley London dresses which I always wear with chunky boots (too girlie otherwise) and a couple of Les Reveries - and that’s it and they are small floral print. Always a small print, never big, and always v-neck but not too low. I get them on The Outnet As too pricey otherwise - but I haven’t bought a new dress since leaving London.

      Strictly speaking black, especially next to the face, only suits around half the population, possibly less. The rest of us can only risk it with a bit of cosmetic help to avoid looking ill. Even then, some people still cannot wear it.

    No to black. You can wear it beautifully, but with my low-contrast, slightly warm colouring, I cannot. I look like hell and at least 10 years older. High contrast stripes are another no for me. They completely wear me and look awful. On the other hand, olive green looks amazing on me. A girl has to play the hand she's dealt.
