Что надеть: советы по стилю для женщин

Colorful hilltop towns, bright blue coastlines, and mind-blowing cuisine are just a few things the French Riviera boasts. Not merely just another playground of the rich and famous—the French Riviera is тотдетская площадка, и у нее есть негласная униформа, которая находится где-то между морским и парижским шиком.

For centuries the Cote d’Azur has been known for its glitz and glamour all over the world. With vistas a-plenty, lavender fields galore and perfect bays to park your yacht, this area has it all for a summer getaway. But don’t forget your wardrobe to match…

Французская Ривьера известна тем, что ее гости и жители одеваются в стиле Бобо. Образ, который выбирают утонченные француженки, элегантный и классический. Хотя шорты длиной капри определенно в моде, забудьте о потертых джинсах, футболках с надписями и спортивных штанах, так как они не впишутся в обстановку Французской Ривьеры.

Люди на Французской Ривьере, как правило, уделяют много внимания тому, что они носят. На самом деле, в таких городах, как Канны и Монако, не редкость увидеть женщин, одетых с красивой прической, простыми, но элегантными украшениями и макияжем, нанесенным только для того, чтобы выгулять собаку.

What To Wear (& What Not To!)

Below, we bring you a guide to what to wear during your stay on the French Riviera:

Ditch the Heels

In French Riviera fashion, ditch those mile-high stiletto pumps for chic comfy sandals. Heels don’t fare well on grass or the area’s many steep cobblestone streets, so smart locals rarely wear them.

Dress for the Beach

Шикарные сумки-тоуты, сумки-кроссоверы и даже плетеные сумки-корзины — это просто фантастика, особенно если в вашем наряде есть белый цвет. Широкополая соломенная шляпа или федора в сочетании с шикарными солнцезащитными очками «кошачий глаз» (никаких авиаторов!) мгновенно сделают любой наряд летним и шикарным.

Flowy Dresses are Classic

It’s time to flaunt your breezy summer dresses in classic colors and flowy silhouette. Choose natural fabrics like linen, silk, and cotton, that never go out of style. Skip the synthetic and sheer fabrics. Aim to look elegant, not ‘sexy’. Tight-fitting, mini and low-cut dresses are what women who are ‘for sale’ wear (…there are plenty of them around), and –trust me– you don’t want to be mistaken for that.

Go Nautical

Breton stripes are all over the beaches and streets of the French Riviera. So, think of classic nautical stripes on your dresses, casual top, dress pants, feminine skirts, chic jumpsuits, and rompers that can make your look appropriately dressed against the seaside scenery. Pair something striped with something white in cotton or linen, for an elegant, nautical look.

White is the New Black

Because it’s hot on the French Riviera, stick with light neutral colors preferably white or cream. Keep your tight black NYC outfits in the closet and go for light and airy. Think minimalist and pick ensembles with detailed tailoring and upscale natural fabrics. Opt for a loose but belted blouse and romantic, flowing skirt combination that would be an ideal look for when you are having your breakfast at a seaside café.

Leave Your Designer Items at Home

Due to a completely crazy (but actively enforced) French customs law, it’s not safe to wear designer items. Here’s everything you need to know about that law.

Aside from that, theft is common (and the local police don’t seem to want to investigate these crimes), so if you want to avoid being beaten within an inch of your life for your watch (as many have been), leave it in the safe at home.
