Parisian Edit: The New Classics
A Parisian Edit on Timeless Pieces with a Modern Twist
I love how classic pieces are everywhere right now and they look just a little different.
Fashion never stands still, even the classics are evolving.
What I am very excited about at the moment is not new clothes, but familiar ones worn differently. The foundations of a great wardrobe remain the same, yet the proportions, volumes and attitude have shifted and this is exactly where French style feels most relevant.
The Parisian Approach: Evolve, Don’t Replace
In Paris, style is rarely about chasing trends.
It’s about refreshing the classics so they feel current again.
The pieces haven’t changed, the way we wear them has.
The White Shirt, Reimagined
The white shirt has always been a Parisian essential.
Today, it feels fresher with:
A slightly oversized cut with an open neckline
Dropped shoulders
Longer sleeves worn rolled
Denim with Better Proportions
Skinny jeans have stepped aside for:
Wide-leg
Straight-cut
Soft flare
The right jeans create presence without effort — a very French idea.
The Lace Cami, Elevated
The lace cami has long been part of the Parisian wardrobe — but right now, it feels especially relevant.
Worn in a modern way, it becomes:
A layering piece under a blazer or light jacket
A contrast to tailored trousers or relaxed denim
A feminine touch balanced with structure
The key is simplicity. Clean lines, delicate lace, and a cut that feels intentional rather than overtly sexy.
It’s this play between softness and strength that makes the lace cami timeless — and when paired with modern proportions, it feels current, confident, and effortlessly chic.
Knitwear That Breathes
Cardigans and knits are back — but lighter, shorter, squarer.
Think:
Boxy cardigans worn buttoned like a top
Fine knits that skim the body
Stripes and neutrals that mix effortlessly
They feel classic, but not nostalgic.
Tailoring, Softened
Blazers, trousers and vests are everywhere — yet they’ve lost their stiffness.
Worn open, layered over simple tops, or paired with denim, tailoring now feels lived-in rather than formal.
Why It Works
This return to classics feels reassuring — but the modern proportions keep everything interesting.
It’s a reminder that style doesn’t need constant reinvention.
It just needs intelligent evolution.
That’s the heart of Parisian dressing:
Respect the past.
Adapt to the present.
Dress for real life.
