Fashion Paradise Paris
Paris is the birth place of fashion. The whole fashion world gyrate around the Paris. Parisian style is so remarkable that everyone love to follow them. It’s not like that they prefer some specific look. It’s an attitude, a state of mind, cool and nonchalant.

The key to dressing like a Parisian is understatement – less is more, bling is out, ideally two colours maximum – mixing classic basics with vintage and luxury highlight pieces. Must-haves include a man-style blazer, trench, navy knit, jeans, leather jacket, ballerina flats and, of course, a little black dress.
THE SCARF
