超火的“法式風格”到底是什麼？7個技巧讓你變身法國女孩

Want to live and shop like a French girl? Here are seven tips for running your life à la française.

想像個法國女孩一樣生活、一樣購物嗎？這裏有7個讓你的生活法式起來的小貼士。

Don’t Follow Trends

不要緊跟潮流

Trends come and go, but style never fades. The saying is cliché but true. A French girl can easily tell the difference between a classic piece and a trend that will fade in time. 

潮流來來去去，但是風格永遠不會褪色。這句俗語雖是老生常談，但是無比正確。一個法國女孩可以很輕易地分辨出經典與會隨時間逝去的潮流之間的區別。

French girls don’t follow the majority of Fashion trends, and those they do support are generally vintage trends which have stood the test of time. The desire to be considered in-the-know simply isn’t as concerning to French girls the way it is in the US.

法國女孩不會跟隨時尚潮流的主流，她們真正支持的是真正經典的潮流，是能夠經受住時間的考驗的。想要被認爲知曉潮流動向的那種在美國女孩身上會出現的渴望，不會出現在法國女孩身上。

Invest in Quality Pieces

在有品質的衣服上投資

French girls tend to invest in a limited number of quality pieces each season. Have you heard of the 5-Piece French Wardrobe? French women practice the philosophy of buying less each season, but investing in quality pieces when you do make a purchase. Avoid impulse purchases and go for well-made pieces that will last longer than a few seasons.

法國女孩每一季傾向於在數量有限的有品質的衣服上投資。你聽說過只有五件衣服的法國衣櫥嗎？法國女人每一季都在練習少買的哲學，但是如果的確要買，就要買有品質的。避免衝動購物，買那種可以撐好幾季的良好做工的衣服。

Stick to Basics at Fast-Fashion Retailers

堅持快時尚品牌的基本款

There’s nothing wrong with shopping at fast-fashion retailers like Zara and H&M, but French girls stick to the basics and opt for quality fabrics and solid colors when shopping at these stores. 

在像Zara和H&M這樣的快時尚品牌點買東西不是什麼錯事，但是法國女孩在這些店買衣服的時候會堅持買基本款，也會選擇品質比較好的布料以及純色的衣服。

If you purchase a printed jacket from Zara, it’s most likely a blatant knock-off of a real designer item, which is a big no-no. That being said, some pieces from these retailers are made well and can suffice. Be choosy and don’t fall for trends when you walk into these types of stores.

如果你在Zara買了一件印花的夾克，那麼很可能是在冒充真正的設計師產品，這是一個很大的禁忌。話雖這麼說，這些品牌的一些設計做得很好，可以滿足需求。當你走進這些類型的商店時，要挑剔一點，但別落伍。

No Huge Logos!

不要買帶大logo的衣服！

A French girl will rarely be seen with a giant logo or logo print anywhere on her body. Flaunting one’s money is considered taboo, and the best designers create signature looks which can be recognized without plastering their logo all over the item. 

一個法國女孩很少在身上穿一個巨大的Logo或者logo印得到處都是的衣服。炫耀自己的錢被認爲是一種禁忌，最好的設計師創造出招牌外觀，而無需在整個商品上貼上自己的徽標就可以被認出來。

Forget Louis Vuitton and opt for a chic Céline Box Bag. Stay away from Gucci logo-printed loafers and try minimalist Repetto ballet flats.

忘了路易·威登，選擇別緻的Céline包包吧。遠離古馳的徽標印花樂福鞋，嘗試極簡主義的麗派朵（Repetto）芭蕾平底鞋吧。

It isn’t What You Buy, it’s How it Fits

重要的不是你買了什麼，而是它合不合適

Buy things that fit you well and flatter your body. Try everything on! French girls never buy something that doesn’t fit them right – no matter how in style it may be. When shopping online, don’t be afraid to order two sizes and send the one back that doesn’t fit you as well. 

要購買適合自己、貼合自己身體的衣服。買之前都試穿一下！法國女孩永遠不會購買不適合自己的東西，無論風格如何。在線購物時，不要害怕訂購兩種尺碼的商品，你可以把不合適的退回去。

French girls love oversized clothing, so size up if you’re unsure. Skintight clothing is rarely worn as it can draw too much unwanted attention! That being said, a skintight sweater can be worn with loose-fitting pants, for example, which creates a nice balance.

法國女孩喜歡超大號的衣服，如果不確定，可以買大一號。法國女孩很少穿緊身的衣服，因爲它會引起過多不必要的注意！話雖這麼說，一件緊身毛衣可以和寬鬆的褲子一起穿着，這樣可以達到很好的平衡。

Choose One Statement Piece per Outfit

爲每套搭配選擇一件點睛單品

It’s rare to see a French girl with several flashy pieces on her outfit. A statement piece is almost always paired with basics to prevent looking like a hot mess! 

很少見到一個法國女孩一身衣服中就有好幾件華麗的。點睛單品幾乎總是與基本款搭配在一起，以防止看起來像一團糟！

For example, a multi-color bag is often paired with a basic button-up shirt and straight-leg jeans. Conversely, a patterned sweater is worn with basic pants and a basic handbag. The eye should never be confused as to where it should be looking on your outfit!

例如，一個多色包通常與基本的鈕釦襯衫和直腳牛仔褲搭配。相反，圖案毛衣要與基本褲子和基本手袋搭配穿。這樣在看你的搭配的時候，就不會覺得眼花繚亂了。

Fabric is Important

布料很重要

French girls stick to quality, natural fabrics. The summertime wardrobe is filled with pieces made of cotton and linen fabrics. The wintertime wardrobe consists of wool and cashmere. Everyday pieces are made of silk. 

法國女孩很喜歡有品質的、自然的布料。夏天的衣櫥都被棉質和亞麻的衣服佔滿了，而冬天的衣櫥則都是羊毛和羊絨材質的衣服。每天都要穿的衣服是絲綢制的。

Avoid viscose, rayon and other man-made fabrics when shopping. The one exception to this rule is Reformation, which does use synthetic fabrics, but is environmentally conscious as they are recycled!

購物時，不要買那些使用了粘膠，人造絲和其他人造面料的衣服。有一個例外是Reformation這個品牌，他們的產品確實使用合成纖維，但是在回收時這樣的面料是環保的。
