Why do French women look so chic? They have a better choice of clothes is a good starting point. In the UK we have lots of high street “tat”, often great styles but in cheap frankly horrible fabrics.

Or we have very very expensive designer fashion, c £1000+ for a great dress in great fabric. There is very little in between.

I have long been a fan of Galerie Lafayette in Paris for this reason, and now some of these fantastic clothes are here…..

Stylish, affordable, wearable and…. in great fabrics. The UK high street could revitalise by learning from the French. No more polyester, badly cut, oversized waists, cheap shiny see through fabrics, buttons that fall off, shoes that break, dresses that crease even hanging in the shop. There is no pleasure in buying and wearing this stuff. So dont buy it.

Buy French from cutting edge chic to the classic perfect white shirts of Anne Fontaine. Vote against “tat”.

I have decided that I want to live in the South of France, I love the food, weather, people and the clothes. In the meantime boycott  all tat and buy French!!
