Discover the secret of the typical French look

Discover the secret of the typical French look

French fashion brands are inherently linked to that typical 'je ne sais quoi' style. A fashion style that appears effortless but is secretly meticulously thought out by Parisian women. French women have a penchant for timeless silhouettes, beautiful fabrics, and refined details. It's all about investing in the right pieces to enjoy for years - and this perfectly aligns with PB's basic philosophy. Beautiful, timeless pieces that are endlessly versatile, match your personal style, and exude craftsmanship. If you want to add French style to your wardrobe, beauty routine, and even your interior, read on.

French Style

How can you spot a Parisian woman? In a relaxed-fit T-shirt, an oversized blazer and/or trench coat, jeans or tailored pants, and ballerinas or brogues, sneakers, or low-heeled boots. The secret? Each item worn by a Parisienne has the perfect fit and length, with French women valuing quality brands that offer a timeless style. The basic wardrobe naturally includes not only the items mentioned above but also jersey basics, silk tops and blouses - think Equipment - cashmere sweaters, flowing long and short dresses, and skirts.


Because French women invest in timeless pieces, prints are subtly used by French brands. Exceptions to the rule include Zadig & Voltaire with a refined rock-chic style, IRO with a glam-chic vibe, and Vanessa Bruno with a boho undertone that push the boundaries of French style but never loses sight of the iconic timeless feel. The classic that should not be missing from your wardrobe? The Breton stripe! Tips from other French brands that add their own twist to the French style? American Vintage, DIEGA, Majestic Filatures, and SU Paris.

The Finishing Touch

What do French women value as much as their outfit? Accessories! The preference is for multi-purpose accessories that effortlessly mix with every styling. From designer bags to shoes - where stylish comfort plays a big role. Sneakers, ballerinas, and low-heeled ankle boots are part of every Parisienne's basic wardrobe. Don't forget the sunglasses as the finishing touch. The must-have brands? Jerome Dreyfuss, IZIPIZI, K. Jacques St. Tropez, and See by Chloé.

Beauty and Skincare

What is important to French women in addition to fashion? Skincare, skincare, and more skincare. French women and skincare go hand in hand, and no concessions are made. The skin is well cared for with high-quality products that boost the natural radiance of the skin. This natural look also dominates in makeup, avoiding excessive makeup and instead opting for soft nuances that highlight the beautiful features of the face. In our brand portfolio, we have a refined selection of beauty brands including Caudalie, Christophe Robin, Compagnie de Provence, Cosmydor, French Girl, and Patyka.
