Leave it to the French to devise a simple, yet chic answer to the eternal question of “what shall I wear?”
As documented by Bill Cunningham’s “On the Street” column for the NY Times, the French are sporting an oversized dress shirt in white, olive, or navy with trousers (cropped and full-length) and black leather skirts.
On the surface it may seem boring, especially after being brainwashed by seasons of embellishment, until you see Cunningham’s photographs. The French demonstrate there are so many delicious ways a shirt and a pair of pants or skirt can be combined.
Every woman needs a uniform and mine varies according to season and taste. This fall I am pairing oversized shirts with cigarette/skinny pants, a statement necklace, a black leather jacket, and jeweled flats or leopard heels.
What’s your uniform?
