This Parisian style offers an accessible interpretation of classic French style. I am frequently asked to define the nuances between French and classic (American) styles. The distinction, while subtle, is worth noting. In the United States, classic style often leans towards a more subdued palette, as exemplified in the look below. Parisian women, conversely, tend to embrace color – think pops of color like red and bolder patterns. Beyond this subtle divergence, the two styles share a significant degree of commonality. French style is a tad trendier than classic American style, which is why I love the concept here at Fifth and Paris, French style with a New York State of mind.
