Bonjour!
Are you wondering why French women over 50 look so good, modern, classy and chic?
Paris is the city of love and fashion and French women over 50 are well known for their
sophisticated and chic style.
Parisian women over 50 are famous for their effortless chic and timeless fashion, which
combines classic pieces with modern elements.
In this video, I will show you how Parisian women dress, how to look like a French woman
over 50.
I will share with you all the style secrets and why they look so good over 50.
And the first thing to know how to dress Parisian women over 50 is to dress simple but well
put together.
The Parisian style over 50 doesn't rely on flashy and attention-seeking clothes.
Instead, the Parisian wardrobe consists of simple, minimalist but well-made pieces, timeless
that can be mixed and remixed season after season, dress-up or dress-down, depending
on the context and the occasion.
But they love to rely on timeless pieces that will never go out of style.
The key takeaway of Parisian women over 50 is simple but at the same time sophisticated
and elegant.
And it is really how you style these simple pieces that really make the difference.
For example, Parisian women over 50 love to wear some oversized or more relaxed fit pieces,
but they often pair with more structured or fitted garments so the overall look is never
slumpy or frumpy.
The best way to describe the Parisian style over 50, simple but sophisticated, will be
for example with this Parisian uniform, a simple, crispy, white button-down shirt, well-made,
well-fitted.
A white button-down shirt is simple but at the same time looks so chic and elegant.
This is the exact casual, chic piece you should look for if you want to dress like a Parisian
woman.
A white shirt with a jean.
The jean is also a casual piece.
Style it with a perfect sartorial blazer and a pair of ballerinas and you really get, you
know, the Parisian style over 50.
Simple, but yet at the same time chic and sophisticated.
Parisian women are always classic, modern.
Parisian women always look chic, classic, classic, but always modern.
They never look outdated, aged, old, they never look like the regular old grandma.
This is something I love about Parisian women over 50, I'm going to show you their secret.
How do they do to look always classic but modern so they look 10 years younger than
they age?
Parisian women over 50 master the effortless look, the art of the casual chic by mixing
modern, casual pieces with something that is a little bit more modern and trendy.
For example, they will never ever go for the full tweed look or the old grandma look with
a tweed skirt with the matching tweed blazer and add the silky shirt and a pearl necklace
and you really look outdated.
It looks aged, outdated, too classic, it's not modern and it looks very constrained.
Instead, Parisian women over 50 will wear a tweed jacket with a white tee or a crispy
white shirt, a jean, some ballerina and a pearl necklace and now you look more modern,
more trendy and this is really the Parisian style over 50.
The third secret to know if you want to dress like a Parisian woman over 50 is to go for
the ageless look.
Parisian women over 50 don't believe in age restrictions when it comes to fashion.
They believe in dressing in a way that flatters the figure and makes them feel confident.
The ageless style means it looks good whatever your age.
Some tips if you want to go for the ageless look, choose some classic pieces that are
timeless and wearable, they work whatever your age or your style, for example the sling
bag from Chanel, a white shirt, invest in high quality fabrics such as wool, silk, cashmere
which are both comfortable and stylish and always choose clothing that fits well and
flatters your figure such as a well-fitted pants, a well-fitted skirt, a well-fitted
shirt.
The fourth secret how to dress like a Parisian woman over 50, they focus more on style than
wrinkles or plastic surgery.
Parisian women over 50 embrace their natural age, they don't focus on wrinkles so much
on plastic surgeries, they really believe that you can look modern and younger just
by transforming your style.
Too much plastic surgery can really age you, it can do the opposite making you look aged,
outdated, a little bit like a whole cliché, they really believe that style can transform
you and make you look 10 years younger just by updating your wardrobe for example or by
changing your hair color or your hair style and of course they avoid the heavy makeup,
the heavy foundation, they always go for the no makeup makeup look and especially over
50 it really makes you look so fresh, you look so fresh if you go for the no makeup
makeup look, you look fresh, younger.
Fifth secret about Parisian women over 50, confidence is key.
Parisian women over 50 tend to develop a more refined and polished sense of style, they
embrace their maturity and dress in a way that reflects their confidence and sophistication.
They understand the power of classic styles and embrace the understated elegance choosing
high-quality pieces that flatter the silhouette.
French women typically opt for neutral colors such as black, white, beige with the occasional
pop of color for interest.
They opt for classic pieces such as well-tailored blazers, timeless handbags and elegant pumps.
They go for the power dressing but with a casual and effortless style.
Remember that age is just a number and the way you are carrying yourself speaks volume
about your elegance and style.
Sixth, if you want to dress like a Parisian woman over 50, don't go for the logo and designer
brands.
People ask me a lot about French style and Parisian style and it's a spirit and it's
a kind of freedom where women dress up to feel good rather than to seduce someone because
they know the best way to seduce someone is first to feel good and then it's not show
up like not showing have a brand and things like this, there's not the wish to look wealthy,
the wish is just to look cool.
Parisian women over 50 and over 60 are not obsessed about looking wealthy.
They want to look modern and they want to look cool of course and I think over 50 when
you are obsessed about to look wealthy, it's almost a deal breaker.
You can really really look so outdated and so aged by wearing designer brands head to
toe and for example wearing Chanel head to toe can really age you.
So the key of the Parisian style over 50 is to really mix designer brands with something
that is a little bit more casual.
The key of the Parisian style is to wear whatever you love.
You love and it's not about the logo, it's not about the brands, it's not about how much
it is expensive.
You're not here to show off.
You're here to express your style and style also express itself not through brands, not
through logo but through texture, through balance, through proportion of course, through
a lot of different factors but it's not about the logo and the brand.
And the 7th secret how to dress Parisian women over 50 is to evolve and update your style.
Parisian women over 50 are not afraid to evolve their style, to update their wardrobe so they
really also look more modern.
Never allow yourself to get stuck in a style depending on your age.
You will look old instantly.
Remember that over 50, you have reached the end of that fabulous decade and you feel comfortable,
confident with your looks.
Everything suits you and life is full of possibilities like your style.
Over the years, my style has been changing a lot.
First, because when you're very young, you think that you need a lot.
You need a lot of makeup, a lot of hair, a lot of accessories, a lot of clothes.
You never have enough and with the time, you learn that you need few but good and you don't
need too much.
Too much lipstick, red nails, a lot of makeup on your eyes, on your cheeks and all.
Far from making radical changes, the Parisian women over 50 knows how to evolve her style
as she gets older.
Evolving for Parisian means stay interested, be curious, be interested in different styles
and it is very easy in Paris because Paris is the city of fashion, this is the capital
of fashion.
This is an international city where there are so many different styles, so many different
people.
So it's easy to stay interested and to stay up to date in Paris.
But Parisian women always try to be curious.
They try new designers, they try new niche brands, of course.
They are always curious to try different styles and the next thing you should know if you
want to dress like a Parisian woman over 50, they never neglect themselves.
Another thing I love and I really admire about Parisian women over 50 is they always, always
look fashionable.
They never, ever neglect themselves.
They never look frumpy, slumpy.
Even if it is just for walking the dog, throwing the trash, they are always, always fashionable.
And this is something very European, very French.
French women, Parisian women always look fashionable, well put together, no matter the circumstance,
no matter the event.
Remember that dressing well is a sign of respect for yourself first and also for others,
but this is a sign of respect for yourself first.
So forget the sweet pants, the athletic leisure, the oversized sweater.
Parisian women over 50 never wear athletic leisure.
They never wear gym pants, for example.
They never walk the dog in a gym or sweater pants.
They will always try to dress well, a white shirt, a jean, for example, a blazer.
This is really the Parisian uniform over 50.
And the next thing you should know if you want to dress like a Parisian woman over 50,
don't be blind and don't follow conventions.
After 50, following cliches and following conventions can really age you.
And Parisian women over 50 really understand that.
They are not afraid to be bold, to try new clothes.
Don't feel obliged to follow any convention or any fashion rule because of your age.
For example, Parisian women will wear a bomber jacket in place of a blazer at night,
some ballet flats instead of heels with a chiffon dress.
And the last thing, Parisian women over 50 always find the right and perfect accessories
to elevate their look.
They always find the perfect accessories to elevate their basic outfit, to make it more
interesting, to really add something that is more funny and more modern.
The best example I can show you is, for example, Inès de la Fressange, which is another iconic
Parisian woman over 50.
She was a model.
She writes many books about the Parisian style.
She really knows how to accessorize.
For example, she often wears a navy or black striped sweater or even a striped shirt.
But sometimes, on a whim of surprise, she goes for a fuchsia pink blouse.
She goes for leopards, ballerinas.
She often wears bold accessories in a very classic, modern chic look.
For example, big earrings, big necklaces.
She always adds a funny accessory to her outfit.
And Parisian women are not afraid.
Usually they go for something that is super timeless, super classic.
And they're not afraid to mix and match with bold accessories, you know, whimsical brooches,
for example, whimsical jewelry.
It is super interesting.
