Many fashionable people have joined the "war", and women in the workplace certainly can not admit defeat. For women in the workplace, clothing is their "face" and is a "weapon" to add to their temperament.

If you want to talk about the hottest workplace items this year, it must be the "shirt". The shirt in the fashion world is also considered a "clean" single product, every spring will be popular, and has never been replaced.

The main reason why shirts are so enduring in the fashion world is that they have an excellent "temperament" effect and can be considered a must-have item for women in the workplace. And with the popularity of the blouse, the long-lost French chic style has made a comeback.

In the French style, the shirt belongs to the high-frequency appearance of the single product, as long as reasonable collocation, easily makes you elegant to the bone. Today, Ann will recommend several "French" shirt inspirations for you to wear, a minute to kill female colleagues.

The essence of the "French" style of wearing a shirt

The French style has a variety of interpretations, but with the shirt, this single product, "elegant and romantic" will become the core of the workplace women to shape the French chic style. If you want to continue the classics without losing yourself, then you must first master the essence of French dressing.

Women in shirts

Essence one: feminine design

French dressing is all about sophistication, and to create a sophisticated, elegant style out of a dull, boring shirt, you need to choose more styles with a "feminine touch". In French blouse wear, ribbon design, waist design, etc. are often the style, with a certain "light sense of maturity", 30 years + women can easily manage.

The flounced blouse adds a feminine touch through its superb drape and dynamic, ethereal look, which can undermine the dryness of the blouse and perfectly portray a sensual, elegant style. The range of waistband designs is wide, with feminine waistbands and light silk belts creating a 'waistband' effect without losing the feminine touch, and can be worn by working women with small bellies.

In addition, blouses with drawstrings and knotted designs also add a feminine touch and are more common in the French style. However, compared to the above-mentioned "intellectual" designs, blouses with drawstring and knotted designs are relatively "age-defying", with a playful sense of French femininity, and are more suitable for working women under the age of 30.

Essence 2: enhance the "drape" and "texture"

For more mature women who want to bring out the "elegance and romance" of the French style, more consideration should be given to "texture" and "drape". Cotton thread shirts, like those commonly found on the market, are not very suitable for women over 30, as they can look very cheap and dowdy.

The most suitable style for women in their 30s is satin, chiffon, and other light shirts with a certain "drape". Satin, chiffon, and other drapey shirts come with a high-quality feel, are very silky to the touch, and visually can show the spirit of the floating; greatly weakening the seriousness of the shirt, serious, more intellectual, and elegant, to create a French "light mature style", the sense of temperament up!

Essence three: "vintage elements" added

The classic French style combines vintage, romance, and elegance, so if you want to make your shirt more French chic, you can add some "vintage elements" to your look. In the French style, "little polka dots, little floral elements" have a high rate of appearance, whether it is laid on the shirt or with the bottom, which can greatly reduce the shirt's formal sense, let the style be more on the vintage, elegant.

However, small polka dots or small floral elements have a certain "visual messiness" to them. To avoid overwhelming styling elements and losing focus, it is best to choose a simple "solid color" to go with it, creating a contrast of "one simple and one complex". This will balance the look and draw attention to the polka dots, and small floral elements on the shirt or bottom, which will be more elegant.

Essence four: "accessories" embellishment method

Every exquisite woman is not without her "accessories", and in French dressing, they are even more eye-catching than the "main items". For the French romantic woman, a printed silk scarf can be used to embellish a shirt, unbuttoning two buttons or tying the scarf in your hair to bring out the "vibe" of an elegant, vintage French style.

For those who prefer a more casual French style, try the "clothes not properly worn" approach pictured above, using the jumper as a "shawl" and draping it casually over your shoulders. Not only can weaken the seriousness of the shirt, serious but also can add a sense of casual, style immediately rose a level, with easy interpretation of the new trend, lazy French style, and not being afraid of beauty but female colleagues.

The shirt "French" wear specific demonstration

The actual French style of wearing a shirt is a good idea. Finally, Ann will send another wave of benefits for women in the workplace to recommend a few specific demonstrations of how to wear French shirts!

① Blouse + Satin Pants

The most important "ace of the crop" for women in the workplace is the combination of a shirt and satin trousers. The satin trousers have a high-quality feel and add drape, which neutralizes the dryness of the shirt and makes your look more slouchy and casual, without losing the premium feel.

The only thing to note is that if you want to continue the high quality of your look, you need to pay more attention to the choice of shirt. Try to get chiffon or satin shirts that also have a "drapey" feel to give a "premium look" throughout the day for a better effect.

A more sophisticated way to wear a shirt and satin trousers is to make a 'suit' that is consistent in terms of 'fabric' as well as 'color'. Not only does it give you a sophisticated, casual French "slouchy" look, but it also lengthens the view vertically, making it both elegant and taller.

If you feel that wearing the same color as your 'shirt suit' is a bit monotonous, then choose a different colour for your shoes. However, to ensure the "coordination" of the look, it is recommended that you do not choose too jumpy colors, the classic "black, white and grey" three-colour system is the best choice.

Blouse + skirt

A blouse and a half-length skirt are a great way to retain the dryness of a blouse without losing the feminine touch, easily creating an elegant French "gentle style". For the more conservative working woman, get this 'wrap' half-length skirt and blouse, add a pair of simple Louboutins for a retro feel and a more elegant and chic look.

For a more sexy, feminine French look, add a touch of 'skinlessness' to your look with this blouse and split skirt. A high split adds a touch of skin and breaks up the stark, serious look of the blouse, so you'll be in style!

This is the end of today's sharing, if you are also interested in the "French" way of wearing shirts, then hurry up and get it, elegant and showing temperament, workplace women should not miss!
