4 Places To Flaunt Your French Girl Style

It’s no secret that everyone wants to dress like a French girl - at least to try it out. Now, there is something of a misconception that you have to be French to really nail the look. But nothing could be further from the truth! Just look at model Alexa Chung. She embodies perhaps the epitome of French-girl style, but was born and raised in the UK. Some people also assume the best place to wear your sleek and sophisticated French-girl clothing is in Paris. While the City of Lights is certainly one of the fashion capitals of the world though, and the most logical place to flaunt French-inspired style, there are plenty of places around the world where your chic sense of style will work beautifully for you.

Here are four stylish cities where you can flaunt your French-girl style.

Chicago, Illinois, United States

Chicago, Illinois is one of the trendiest places in the United States from a style perspective. Even in the freezing cold winter, people take the time to dress their best while roaming the city streets - particularly if that means walking up and down the Magnificent Mile, which is famous for its culture, culinary scene, and luxury shopping. You'll fit right in with a French-girl look. If you’re feeling particularly fancy, meanwhile, be sure to stay at the Ambassador Chicago. The hotel can best be described as '70s chic, which means you can easily get away with a vintage French look, like your best imitation of the groovy and iconic Jane Birkin. (I realize that Birkin was actually British, but she’s another Alexa Chung situation.)

Santorini, Greece

Satorini, Greece is a perfect place to show off your effortlessly stylish wardrobe. The island is known for its beautiful beaches and postcard views, so you’ll want to bring some swimwear along - which is just another great opportunity to embody your favorite look. When you go sunbathing on Santorini, wear a light-pink gingham one-piece. Put on a breezy white button down dress as a cover-up, and top it all off with an oversized hat. You'll look so perfect for the spot that you might, in fact, end up on a postcard!

Christchurch, New Zealand

Many who visit Christchurch, New Zealand are impressed by its natural beauty. The Avon River, the Southern Alps and the Canterbury Plains are genuinely breathtaking, to name just a few spots. However, Christchurch is also known for its nightlife. It’s home to a thriving bar scenes, and while clubbing isn’t a huge part of the city, the Christchurch Casino is available for a more involved night out. The establishment is thriving in spite of lots of online gambling activity in New Zealand, and offers you the perfect place to put on something equally sexy and classy and have a fun night out. Try a polka-dotted wrap dress with a high slit; pull your hair back into a messy bun and opt for minimal makeup, preferably just light foundation, a coat of mascara, and some red lipstick. You’ll be all set for a spell at the casino and some bar-hopping, likely among a mix of locals and internationals from all over.

Copenhagen, Denmark

As with Parisans, those who live in Copenhagen tend to dress comfortably, but do so without sacrificing their style. As you visit all the city’s tourist destinations, such as The Little Mermaid statue, Tivoli Gardens, the Experimentarium, and so many more, try your best to blend in with the locals. This likely means wearing a black turtleneck tucked into a pair of wide-legged white trousers and a pair of pointed flats. Accessorize the look with a dainty gold necklace and matching hoop earrings, and you'll be in business in yet another super-stylish city.
