European women are known all around the globe for their envious style. Their style is classic and effortless, yet always put-together. Women from all over the world look to others from Milan, London, Paris, and now Scandinavian capitals like Copenhagen, to see how they can try to take a few tricks from their personal style guides.
What exactly what makes European style look so good? Below are our top tips for incorporating some European style into your closet!
Look for a structured handbag
One thing you will notice about European women is their love for structured handbags. These bags are more polished, and they give you a more put-together look. You will rarely find a woman on the streets of Paris or Stockholm without an on-point bag that compliments their outfit oh-so perfectly. You’ll probably notice most bags are made of leather. When looking for your perfect handbag, check out sites like Mirta that offer stunning Italian purses made of the most beautiful leather, and of high quality designs from small artisans. A classic handbag will always elevate your look!
Invest in timeless staples
Blazers, loafers, and flats are staples in European style, and they always make for good investment pieces. European women rely on these timeless pieces that have become a significant part of their everyday essentials as they can be styled so effortlessly.
Like structured purses, blazers help give you a polished look and can be worn with everything from pants to dresses and skirts. A good blazer is so versatile, and is perfect both for the office and the weekend.
European women understand that you don’t necessarily need high heels and stilettos to look or feel classy and gorgeous. For this reason, loafers and flats are some of their most-worn shoes. Also because, generally speaking, in Europe you tend to walk or bike a bit more to get where you need to be and need to wear comfy shoes!
Sneakers with tailored pieces
Whilst we all wear sneakers with athleisure clothing, European women are big on wearing sneakers with tailored pieces. This creates an effortless, yes put-together look, that has the added bonus of being comfortable. For this reason, you will rarely meet European women wearing leggings with sneakers unless its styled with an oversized blazer or it’s a trip to the gym!
The way European women wear sneakers with tailored pieces is one of the most-copied looks by women around the globe. European women often wear sneakers with dresses, suits, or even with nice jeans and a flowy blouse. You can’t go wrong with investing in a good pair of sneakers – they’re both practical and stylish, and are a piece you’ll get a lot of wear our of.
A beautiful vintage piece
Vintage pieces have been a strong trend in Europe that has never really died, and if anything, it’s more popular than ever now due to sustainability reasons.
This is why vintage shops thrive in this part of the world! You will often see women pairing a stunning vintage jacket with shoulder pads with jeans and a t-shirt, or a scarf wrapped up in a ponytail, to stunning gold vintage earrings to add an extra touch of glam and rare beauty to an outfit.
We hope these style tips gave you some inspiration for your everyday style, and gave you an idea of what pieces are worth investing in. You can find so many great pieces at high street shops such as Zara, or take a look at your local vintage shops for that one special piece to give you some French girl vibes!
