All the French Fashion Tricks You Can Steal From Jeanne Damas
If you haven't heard of French street style star and model Jeanne Damas, prepare to be obsessed. She has that cool Parisian thing nailed, with the ability to make a grey T-shirt and pair of Levi's look like the coolest outfit on the planet. Seriously, though.
If you are a fan of the French-girl look, then you need to follow Jeanne (of course, she has a cracking Instagram). Sidewalk snaps from fashion week can look a little OTT, but whether she's at a Dior show or running errands, Jeanne Damas wears simple ensembles anyone can replicate. She relies on a few hero items—including silk blouses, red accessories and ballet flats—and she ensures that everything she owns coordinates. The result? She has an efficient, chic and practical wardrobe.
Jeanne has turned her impeccable style into a serious business, too, as she has launched her own clothing line called Rouje, which is sold exclusively online.
