What French Women Know About Getting Dressed That American Women Don't

French women follow Chanel's rule: "Before you leave the house, take a look in the mirror and take one thing off."


French women go sleek with clean lines and streamlined silhouettes. Americans are cool with cuffed shorts and rumpled denim.


French women favor understated makeup that doesn't shout for attention -- even when it comes to red lipstick.


Even when French women choose to wear sneakers, they pick quiet, subtle colors.


All black is France's specialty: French women play with texture like nobody's business, while American women pick a focal point.


When a French woman wears fur, it's the loudest part of her outfit. Americans are keen on pairing big furry jackets with, say, ombre tights and sky-high boots.


French women don't feel the need to flaunt it.


French wear prints in the most low-key ways... while Americans are brave enough to power clash.


Subtle sexiness is the name of the game in France... while Americans aren't afraid to be overtly sexy.


French women aren't into flashy accessories -- neutrals reign supreme.



French blend their bold accessories in, while big necklaces and aggressive graphics are how we roll in America.
