Paris… All In White

Audrey Tautou Paris , French Essence, Vicki Archer


I can’t help but notice how the women in Paris dress.

Their street style is my most favourite and I am so often inspired by the way they manage to put it all together.

Of course, I want to find the same look for myself.


There is nothing better than seeing first hand what is elegant and stylish… and there is nothing wrong with emulating a beautiful woman… It’s the highest form of flattery.

Don’t you think?


There are several wardrobe essentials that French women hold dear, that are never out of place or out of date.

The white shirt is one of them.

A couple of golden rules… there are never too many white shirts to be had and they must always be in mint condition.

Super white and super crisp… man style, business meeting ready… even when they are worn casually.


I find that the white shirt is the answer when I can’t think of what to wear.

Worn with tailored pants, jeans or a skirt… under a jacket, a cardigan or alone… the white shirt never lets me down.

The white shirt is ageless, timeless and effortless.


What’s not to love? xv
