A French-Inspired Guide to Edgy Chic Style
One of the best-kept secrets of French style is subtly mixing genres. This simple trick offers French women endless combinations that keep their wardrobes forever classic and yet constantly fresh and interesting.
Edgy chic is une combinaison préférée that you can effortlessly accomplish by adding bold accents to a classically feminine ensemble. What we love about this style is that it offers interest to an outfit while remaining elegant, suiting women in their 30s just as beautifully as women in their 70s.
Here are five ways to capture the look:

1. Mix Masculine & Feminine Garments
The sharp contrast between a tailored blazer and a flowing A-line skirt is what makes this look so effortlessly cool.
A midi-length skirt offers a sophisticated feminine touch that’s timeless and ageless, softening the sharp lines of the blazer.
2. Style a Midi Dress With Chunky Boots
Similarly, a midi dress and tall or chunky boots pair well together because they’re a unique combination.
Both items are chic on their own, but the unexpected silhouette is what offers the outfit a subtly edgy aesthetic. The contrast between the neutral suede boots and vibrant florals likewise balances the look.


3. Incorporate Animal Prints
Animal prints are bold patterns that come in neutral hues, pairing perfectly with a classic style. Leopard print is especially easy to wear, as it typically comes in black and brown hues.
To strike the parfait balance, limit the animal print to one piece in your ensemble and style with other neutrals. If you own many animal print items, play around with subtly mixing and matching them into your outfits.
4. Embrace Bold Colours
Bold colours are a staple of edgy style that can offer a lot of versatility to your wardrobe in any season. Enviorate a classically chic look—such as a white shirt, denim, and silk scarf—by incorporating vibrant colour accents in your accessories and outerwear.
Mais bien sûr, style is all about using clothes to discover your personal joie. We can’t wait to see how you play around with genre-bending looks in your own way! À bientôt !
