Paris Street Style

Paris is undoubtedly my favourite city in the world. Every time that I visit I am always mesmerised by the beautiful architecture, culture and, of course, the fashion. My mum and I used to walk around the city and say that when we get home, we would replicate the fashion style in our own daily outfits. I think that from these wonderful memories, I have grown to love the way that Parisians look and the 'Paris street style' book has helped me gain some more knowledge of the fashion sense that the Parisian women have.

To start off my outfit, I am wearing a plain black tank top from Forever 21 layered underneath a cable knit jumper from Jack Wills. From looking at the pictures in the book, I could tell that layering was one of the main fashion trends. The jumper is from a traditionally British brand; I have tried to style it so that it can look European as well with the red scarf tied around my neck. When I think about stereotypical French fashion staples, having a small scarf tied around the neck is one that springs to mind. However, straying away from the stereotypes, my trousers from Anthropologie are quite detailed with the buttons down the leg and the front zip pockets. I wouldn't have thought about styling these for my 'Paris street style' outfit without the help from the book - I would have probably worn a blue and white stripy dress before reading it! I never thought that Parisian women would go for trousers with as much detail but I've learnt that if you wear a piece like these trousers, they should be the item on show. My boots, which you may have seen in my Brooklyn Street Style post, are from Topshop. I think that the silver zips tie in really well with the zips on the trousers and make the outfit appear more put together. Many photos within the book feature the women wearing trousers and heels to make a day time outfit look more dressy. They are also such a comfy pair of heels that I can imagine me wearing in the streets of Paris. 

What did you think of my Parisian styled outfit? How would you style your own?
