Do you dream of strolling by the Seine, savoring a croissant, and sipping coffee—all while looking absolutely fabulous? We do too! And Emily in Paris has us swooning over the amazing outfits and unbelievable combinations that are sure to make heads turn. So, we've found simple ways to transform your wardrobe to match hers—without spending a fortune or making dramatic changes! Here are our 5 simple tips to add glam and elegance to your daily life:
1. Use Bold Colors
We know it can be daunting to step away from black or jeans, and that’s okay! You don’t have to change your entire style all at once. Instead, slowly incorporate bold and bright items into your outfit. Start with a bright blazer — a style staple that’s simple to incorporate into any look. Pair it with your old jeans, classic black heels and a simple clutch and then add the bright jacket. As you gain confidence, add more brightly colored items until all-black ensembles become a thing of the past.
2. Play with Patterns
Bold colors are great and easy to style, so don't overcomplicate it —begin with one color and keep the rest of the outfit neutral. To elevate your look, introduce bold patterns. Start slow with a black and white checkered shirt paired with brightly colored pants. As your confidence grows, add more patterns and experiment with matching them. Keep half of your outfit simple until you’re ready to truly unleash your creativity.
3. Accessorize
Accessories can elevate any outfit. Finding them might seem daunting, but you don’t need to spend a fortune. Explore second-hand stores for unique, bold bags that may not match everything but will fit with one or two outfits. Get a stylish hat to complement and elevate any design, and a scarf (more on that later). Rotate these three staples to create endless new looks!
4. Sunglasses
Consider investing in good sunglasses. They don’t have to be designer brands; look for young brands offering unique, affordable pieces. Ensure the glasses are of good quality, then wear them with pride. An interesting shape or color can make you feel like the main character.
5. A Square Scarf
Now, hear us out—you want a versatile accessory that works in many ways? You need a square scarf! This seemingly humble staple can transform any outfit. Find a scarf that reflects your personality with its design and colors, then let it speak for you. Style it differently depending on the occasion—a simple necktie, a Parisian headscarf, a bold hippie hairtie, or wrap it around your bag handle. Personalized items like this scarf are the most special and can make your Parisian dreams come true on a budget. Check out our shop for the perfect square scarf!
Match these new items with your regular clothes to effortlessly elevate your style. Don't forget to invest in some good, classic staples to ensure your outfit looks put together. Create a style worthy of Emily, and watch heads turn as you walk by!
