I am french but I think, you have seen one of these "french style" videos, you have seen all. The white button down, the wide leg jeans, the striped shirt... 🥱 If you have the opportunity to go to France (and no: Paris is not the whole France!), you will be surprised about not seeing so much of this, but instead much more different styles.. just like in the rest of the world 🤭😀

Ive lived in france for 12 years, in the alps. Fashion varies alot from city to region but my personal favs are the classic jeans with blue blazer look. Flat cute ballerinas. Scarves. They love scarves here. And no, the french dont do logos. It very discreet. I love it here. Great vid x

As a french girl, yes indeed! No logos, stripes and classic jeans, that's it!

I was raised in Europe when there was no "fast fashion", and the practice was always buy the best you can afford, natural fibres, and take very good care of clothes shoes, everything. This has been invaluable, and spending time in Paris as a teenager helped develop own style early. The whole logo thing is more recent, and often seems a bit vulgar, more a way of displaying money and status, than actual style and I do think Social media has contributed to this. I don't find the cropped flare flattering on short people (me!!) , and you too looked taller, leggier, and so much more chic in the dark wash jeans. Loved the video, and glad you had a great trip in Africa☘😍

I’m French Canadian and love the Parisian style of dressing and makeup/hair! I have clothes and shoes that I’ve owned for years. I know the classics will always be ok to wear! And I’m a fabric snob…. Linen, cotton, silk, wool and as I’m getting older( 72 years old) I appreciate a touch of Lycra in my jeans! Lol I really enjoyed this video . Thank you for your informative videos on styles and trends.

Erin, your energy is amazing...feels embodied, slow, and your voice is so deep and rich. And your content is always amazing!

Stripes have always been in my wardrobe-even as a kid. I love stripes. I have an hourglass figure, but that has never kept me from wearing stripes. They are so versatile, classic, and FUN to wear!

Hi Erin I love your red lip. Congratulations on your sponsorship with Se'zane. I just watched a video where a girl picked up a pair of brand beautiful shoes in that brand at a thrift store. I liked this video because I have almost completely quit shopping at the mall or online. Our Saturday date is estate sales and you can only get the more classic styles. I have gotten beautiful scarves ( think a lot of people travel and a scarf is an easy piece to bring home) , blazers, winter coats, trench coats , leather purses, things that have lasted for years. Clothes are very inexpensive at estate sales. I have gotten rid of so many clothes this winter and spring that I bought on impulse and don't spark joy. You look beautiful in everything as usual. ♡♡♡♡

Love Sezane! I live in the Midwest and I have been buying Sezane for years now, love their customer support and how easy is to shop from them; how fast I get my box from France and love the company. BTW word of the wise: their clothing is geared for the typical European woman, meaning small to small-medium breast and hips; so keep that in mind when looking at their clothes.

I live in California but my favorite clothing line has been Sezane for years. The quality and style are consistently amazing. I recently downsized 1/3 of my wardrobe since I’m moving to a very small home and I didn’t remove even one of my Sezane pieces. They are the best. My favorite French fashion is the striped shirt. Although I am heavy I still like stripes. I find that if the fit and style are right then the stripes don’t make me look heavier. Congratulations on your partnership with Sezane!!!! 🎉

Love this “ Classic “ French video! Always appropriate! When we travel to France and northern Italy we find that most women dress very understated and always very stylish!

I will never get used to the shorter flares. Sorry to say, but I find them very unflattering. I never want to say anything negative in the comments, but these, I have to.

J'adore les femmes françaises! One of my favorite things about my trip to Paris was watching the women. They really do have that effortless elegance. Thank you for bringing me back there with this video!

Erin gets it right with choosing classic style and quality, over quantity._ the key to being well-dressed. Many style bloggers constantly shop and purchase cheap clothing that looks like cheap clothing.

Such a lovely video Erin! I love French style, I was in Paris for my birthday last year and I was just blown away by how stylish the French people are. And I agree with you, TikTok has some extremely creative people, they have easy fixes and hacks for everything 😂

Erin, love you in the classic look. Never goes out of style.❤

Thank you!! This is a fantastic video. C'est fantastique! 👏

When I was in my teens, I fell in love with Audrey Hepburn's style and still love it. My closet is full of the kind of pieces you highlighted today..some from online resale sites. Who knew I had French style? 😂 Love the video, Erin! XO ❤️

So much of what you say, I can agree with .... thank you. I am an American but French heritage. Don't know how I learned, for think French when dressing. The scarf moves my boring (by choice) fashions up a bit. I still have the magnificent blue Trench purchased before my youngest son (age 50-ish) was born. And, correct, when learning to enjoy only a few classic pieced, in basic color, my mind set is NEVER.... "I have nothing to wear. Always easy.

Your make up is lovely and the red lipstick just faaaaaabulous

So much of the effortless and chic style that Europeans do so well comes from dressing with intention and ease, in well-fitting, and cared for quality pieces- this makes one FEEL good which automatically reflects in how we carry ourselves 💕 my style words are comfort, function, quality...always with a nod to soft, feminine, and often with a twist of rock n roll or 70 s vibe.

Sezane and my favourite influencer! Dream combo ❤

THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT CONTENT!!!! I WAS A PROFESSIONAL SINGER, AND YOU HAVE A LOVELY VOCAL TONE!!!!

Been collecting pieces from Sezane for a few years. I appreciate the quality, the classic-romantic style, and the ongoing commitment to keep doing better on sustainability. The one thing I find tricky now for the north american/canadian emails, is that when they launch new collections and send out to their customers, the favourite pieces are gone within ½ hour. Problem of popularity I guess.

I love these elegant casual looks💛

Always enjoy your presentations. Thank you. My style is so classic/ leaning into boring. But I love it. I miss the magnificent high qualify Navy Jacket I got a bit larger forcing me to pass it on to my daughter. When I traveled for work continually, I learned that it was smart to use scarves rather than Jewlery. Now I continue to choose scarves and now the larger ones. Funny about logs. When my husband chose to purchase me a Vuitton. Of course is was NOT large as I only like small bags. It was a style I have never seen in the US. No knock offs. I literally wore it out. Now as a widow, I can no longer afford a Vuitton. But would carry one if it was affordable for my income level.

Thank you for the great elegant looks! I really like the idea of the scarf with the pearls. Beautiful!

My favorites, Classic is always beautiful! I appreciate the info you share and not the “do not wear” rut! Thanks so much ❤️

I bounce between Italian and French styles You wear the red lips well. Thank you for another useful video.🌺

I love that you brought up The Sneetches! A great reminder that we should all just wear what we love and enjoy the differences in each other.

I’ve watched this video so many times and I absolutely love it! ❤

I love the Parisienne style. I wear ballet flats a lot to work, they are so comfortable and I feel put together when I wear them. I also love wearing white sneakers. I would love to wear scarves more.

I adore the brand's ethos and beautiful aesthetics but the size inclusivity leaves a lot to be desired. Going up to a size 14 leaves out a huge portion of the globe. I would say adding even two sizes like 16 and 18 would make a huge difference!

I love the look of the scarf with the pearls..so chic. I might give that a try.

Fabulous hair day Erin!

I heard about Sezane a couple of years ago by Dearly Bethany and felt in love with this brand. As you said the price sometimes put people of but I started buying second hand pieces and also purchased some sale itens too. Great quality and stylish too. Love the video! I usually use the small scarf on my hair when is up.

as a french woman, we usually don t like big logos, (unpaid publicity !) we like brands for the quality not for show off . parisians tend to be discret about their wealth , to avoid pick pockets, so no logos

I love that you showed the Breton. I am going to Paris in the Fall, and it is on my list to get a Breton sweater. I loved this video. Red lips suit you perfectly. You look so good in classic clothing.

Sezane is one of my favourites too! I too love everything they produce As a breast cancer survivor their involvement just increases my love for the brand. I do have French ancestry so my love runs deep. Thank you for accenting them . Good job Erin ❤️🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦❤️

Elegant looks never go out of style Love the inspiration ❤

This is so me style wise 👌 Thank you for the scarf/pearls combo -such a good idea.

The video isn't over yet, but....What is that lipstick? I love it! I am light-complected and have trouble finding reds.

Love ❤️ these looks! Love wearing stripes especially in the spring and summer. Red lips too its so elegant!

Thank you so much for catering to us, who are watching from Europe! I love your approach to both sustainability and ethical production. It combines my love for fashion and at the same time being an ethical consumer.❤️

I'm certainly going to incorporate the marinière shirt to my wardrobe. Love it!

Great look and ideas for the french look🎉

Sezane is my favorite retailer! How beautifully do they package their items? When the box arrives at my door, it looks like artwork! Anyway, I really appreciate your focus on European brands. The style is just so chic and timeless.

I love this look😍It isvery ME🤩 I got my ”See By Chloé” sandals last Friday, and I LOOOOOVE them🩷🌸🩷

I do like the final resumed you do,is a nice way to remenber items you were talking about. ❤thanks Bisbee

Those Dior pumps are absolutely fantastic. I love them! ❤

I loved this, Erin! This is a great summary of what to wear in France, especially three seasons of the year. I have all these pieces in one form or another, so now I know what to pack. I follow a Parisian fashionista here on YT and I confirm that your picks are similar to what she has advised! Way to go. You studied in France, I studied in Geneva, lol. Wasn't that the experience of a lifetime (like yours -- that Paris video you did is so aspirational). Sézane is a wonderful brand. Yay! 🤩

When you put the sunglasses on you looked like Jerry Hall. This was a great video, lots of inspiration.

This was great!! Love the red lip on you and your hair is on point!!! Beautiful Erin!!!

Loved this video. I have most of these pieces in my wardrobe already. Love French chic! I have a special liking for stripes and spots or poka dots

Great video, Erin! I love these looks! I'm currently wearing a white button down shirt, high waisted blue jeans with a leather belt and slides! I love shopping at Sezane! Beautiful pieces of clothing! Thanks for this one!

Very classic !!!

Lovely and classy ❤

Magnifique! I would just say one small thing. Back in the day, the term button-down-shirt meant an oxford-type shirt where the collar points buttoned down onto the shirt. Over time, the term has morphed into meaning a shirt that buttons down the front. For us Seniors, perhaps the words button-up-shirt might be more historically accurate. But you probably already knew that, and it's your blog. Merci pour votre temps.

I just ordered a handbag from Sezane the day before yesterday and it’s going to be delivered today! I am hooked on this beautiful retailer! Thanks Erin, and I remember -50 in Watertown, NY. 😂😂😂🥶

You'll always get me with a video about French fashion! I went to school in Paris for a semester and oh yeah, the scarves were everywhere! I started wearing them and did for years until maybe the past 5 years. I'm still on the lookout for a true stand-out that I love. The Breton however? I don't know if I ever will get the classic. I have a version by Tommy Bahama I picked up at Marshall's years ago - slim fit with a broad open neck in white and royal blue. I love it but it's really showing it's age. I never wore it as a staple but more of one of those special occasion pieces.

The sneetches on beaches with the stars upon thars! What a great reference! Love the choker with the button up white shirt!

I liked all the clothes it’s something I will wear. Thank you Erin

Oui! 🇫🇷 ❤😊

love this tips, thanks for sharing Erin ❤

💖 Beautiful looks Erin...💕

First comment! Enjoyed your info and perspective. Thank you for all you do!

🌹🇲🇫The absolute best video I've ever seen "decoding" French/Parisian style! Having lived in Paris, following your video, one will feel perfectly French in France! Merci, Erin❤❤❤ (Would love to see a video on Italian styling---a completely different style)

I love your faith in your manifestation. Made me smile. I need to try it.

I am so excited you’re partnering with Sezanne. I love their pieces. Some favorites are the Leontime striped sweater and Cloe blouse. They have such beautiful feminine pieces. Also have the white oversized button down. Thanks for the tucking tip.

What a fantastic partnership! Love France, the French way of dressing and this brand 🇫🇷 Enjoy! And merci for the video ;)

I love the pleated trench, how cool!

This was so good, Erin! Quiet luxury and classic pieces appeal to me. I've never been to France and will someday! Have an awesome day! xo

Great, classy video!!

My standards are white button down, Chanel ballet flats, loafers, trench coat beige & black, straight leg jeans, stripe tees, cashmere or silk scarves.

I just can’t get on the stripes! Lol. How exciting to see this great subject! Thanks for the tip on the white shirt tuck in!

The french Style really joins in the timelime of old money Fashion and quit luxury so far i understand the momentum but i love you Erin exspecially for your fresh and youthful style so think you should know that 🎉🎉🎉

I think you look tres chic...LOVE all the looks...me encanta!!!!

I love the sustainable look! I know trends are fun but really the good quality items are what will be more sustainable! Quality not quantity is what is we can learn from the europeans/French. My mom is Swiss and she has not many items in her closet but what she has is quality and will last her for years to come :)

I follow some British RU-vidrs and always love the Sezane items they show. 👏🏻👏🏻, Erin!

Great video! ❤ Sezane too.

I love that pearl necklace/scarf idea.

I love the red lipstick!! ❤

Hi Erin, another great video, thank you so much. But Europe is not only the French. Please also do a video about Italians, British, Germans, and so on...and do not forget the Scandinavians, in my personal opinion the ones with the best sense of style. I am looking forward to it

Love Sézane! Have found many of their beautiful pieces second-hand at more affordable price points. Great video, thanks!

The french call their ‘effortless’ hair styles ‘coiffé décoiffé’, it means ‘done undone’ 😊

Star belly sneetches......love this!

Oh my gosh, you were so spot on with the Sneetches comment!❤

Thank you

Loved the video. In the UK we refer to the striped tops as a Breton top.

Loved everything especially the stripper shirt, the red lipstick, the ring and the blue blazer! ❤

The shoes make it!

This is a style I really like and kind of chose on my own. Living in France though, I never saw much of this. People dressed how they pleased and even in Paris nothing was so generic as this is. There are other French fashion experts who would apparently agree with you, but I wonder if they get out much and see the rest of French culture because this isn't a prescription.

I love Sezanne. I have been watching "Fashion and Style Edit" videos from England for a few years now and she features Sezanne a lot. I would purchase more of their pieces, but they are expensive for me now that I am retire. However, I have all of those pieces right now in my closet. A few days ago, I realized I did not have a pair of cognac-colored sandals and looked all over the internet for a pair. I finally found a pair from Macy's, but I love the cognac clogs too. I have a pair of similar white clogs from last year. I loved the jeans, so my style. And of course, those Dior sling backs make me swoon. Thank you, Erin. You look great today with the red lippy. ;-)

Thanks! I must have a dozen St. James striped tops and I just keep buying them - classic and last forever. Also shout out to Sézane - just bought their Scott Trench. I’m partial to Italian brands but really like these two companies.

thanks so much for this video Erin, we are heading over to the UK in July, I have some lovely dresses and trousers with wedges and slingback shoes. A light weight trench and a packable fedora. thanks for the reminder to "tone it down" which makes all the things easier. I find it very satisying to have these classic travel pieces in my wardrobe, some for many years, and I am always excited to wear them.

Manifestation is answered prayer! And boy does it work! God is SO GOOD 🙂❤🙏🏼

I love this channel. ❤

Your lipstick is perfection! Thanks for the link, I just ordered it!

You truly inspire me to be my best
