There is something about Parisian sartorial elegance that
has more than a grain of truth in it. If there’s a word that sums it up, it’s
the understatement of it.
If you believe otherwise, Parisian style is generally more
refined than your average New Yorker or Londoner – they would never consciously
leave the house in a creased shirt. That is why, in Paris, cheap would never be
in.

When you try to look at the ornate structures that surround
the city it may seem that the people have been trying to mirror the stylish
architecture of it all, in the way they dress and behave. The Parisian look has
become more than a fashion statement but also a lifestyle, an image set off by
small key tweaks that are subtle and understated.
Tailoring appeals hugely to the Parisian ensemble. Sharp and
slim fitting jackets matched with tailored jeans or chinos tend to be the key
for the style. Accessorizing yourself in a subtle and understated way is
something that Parisians do well. Adding oversized chunky scarf in masculine colors
or an elegant leather bag to your outfit can do well for a Parisian ensemble.
Although, the subtle things can provide the final touches to your overall look,
why not consider a crisp, slim fitting white shirt, solid black frame glasses
or a vintage pair of brown brogues which can bring that touch of classic
European style to your wardrobe.
