OOTD from Marie France Asia: The modern Parisian
Nautical stripes, brown leather and sleek shoes are a match made in heaven. Read on to find out how you can pull off the modern Parisian look for your weekend of some much-needed R&R.
We don’t know about you, but shift dresses are one of the best silhouettes around in our opinion. The short length and its straight, shapeless cut gently skims the outline of the body to provide the most flattering fit on every body type.
In focus this week is the striped Petit Bateu number in monochromatic black and white, the perfect versatile addition to your wardrobe that’s easy to match with everything you already have. We love the ribbed neckline and armholes which reminds us of chic sports-inspired looks, while the stripes give off the je ne sais quoi Parisian vibe. At a length that gets away with being both a mini dress and a long top, you can wear it on its own for daytime errand-running, or in the evening when you feel like pairing it with your favourite skinnies or tailored trousers.
This weekend, match it with slip-on brogues (minus the fuss of shoelaces!) and you’ll have that old-school vibe with a modern twist. Wrap a lightweight printed scarf to add some colour to your ensemble, and finish off with funky gold hoops and a rosy-brown lip. Grab a bucket bag in a warm colour like brown or tan to emphasize the vintage feels and you’re ready for a day of museum visits with your other half.
