Look Of The Week: Paris Chic


This is Über Chic's Back to School Look of the Week Extravaganza last Look of the Week and let's face it, we are already sick and tired of school. And what better way to forget about boring classes than to imagine yourself in more glamorous places and what's more glam than the city of lights? So channel your inner Parisian with a effortlessly chic look. Black is key as are slim trousers or tights . Stripes are a fun cliche but opt for a big beanie instead of the predictable beret. If you are only looking to ad little french touches to your everyday wardrobe a black turtle neck will be forever chic or choose a fun bag like Sarah Jessica Parker.

But it is best to really get into the mood so don't brush your hair for a week, listen to Coralie Clément's Bye Bye Beaute and imagine yourself window shopping at Avenue Montaigne as you enjoy citron and café macarons from Ladurée. But the most important thing is attitude, of course.
