For the colder months, I have a grey cashmere rollback that still looks new and has seen me through a decade of winters now. Two gorgeous long charcoal grey wool knitted skirts - one fluted, one straight - that never fail to get compliments, and whether paired with flat boots or high heeled boots, the look is always elegant. And because its charcoal grey, its the perfect colour foil for any other colour of sweater or boots. I love those skirts so much that I was able to find the same ones online years later, so now I own two of each. And of course, being winter, I have a timeless MaxMara coat (101801 coat), and a cream puffer jacket that have seen me through many winters and they will continue to do so. Knowing how to look after your clothes and footwear, and knowing how to store them will make all the difference in being able to enjoy your favourite and classic items for years, especially if you have invested in quality items.
I found a beautiful Burberry trench from a vintage shop. It still set me back but was a fraction of the price - a great investment. Also consider one with a removable lining to go through more seasons
The best piece I bought and still buy is a v neck t shirt from rag and bone. I wear it in black grey and in white. It is very good quality and looks really good.
Silk turtlenecks from Lilysilk are wonderful and elegant for fall/winter, blazers yes, handbags, (my obsession) and Nike sneakers or loafers. Being retired, don’t wear dresses anymore, except a linen shirtdress in summer. My timeless pieces are white jeans or white or beige trousers, white leather sneakers, and a Chanel bag, the Trendy CC is my favorite style.
I love a trench coat but for me, a navy trench coat is my favourite. I have never found a neutral trench that looked good on me. By the way, Burberry also makes navy trench coats and they’re fabulous.
These are great tips and I find that I do find French women to look effortlessly dressed. Lately, I have been loving black....not just tops but jeans and trousers. All black even with navy, I find to be very French!!
Hi Janelle, I also love black jeans and to be honest I have more black jeans and rousers than any other color :) It's a personal style. Thank you so much for watching and have a great weekend! xoxo
I wear peplum tops a lot in the summer. I wear a pair of olive green carpenter paints that I got from the thrift store. They are really cute. I like comfortable foot wear. I wear mary jane style sneakers.
Great tips! The only difference I would add is for a purse: I think that if your outfit is already quite neutral, this is where you can add a bolder statement, to treat the purse as the highlight piece. I sew, knit and male most of my own clothes (I studied fashion design in my undergrad and have been sewing since a teenager), but this summer, I made a purse in a bright green. I wore it almost every day because it’s such a perfect colour to highlight grey, brown, black, almost everything went with the green purse because it didn’t match with anything. And I was constantly stopped in the street to ask where I got the purse. I think we’re trying for timeless clothing but also balancing that with personal style.
Sounds absolutely gorgeous and yes, if you can add your personal touch it's fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your tips. It's really helpful. xoxo
I have a couple of black dresses, but I prefer trousers (pants, for us Americans) and have a selection of black pants and black tops that can take the place of a little black dress.
My husband and I recently went to London and Paris on vacation, and I couldn't believe how many women wore trench coats! One of the many wonderful surprises of our trip! I fell in love with the look and after many try ons, bought one of my very own. Wore it for several days in London, and have greatly enjoyed wearing it back home in the U.S. Also love how chic and classy it makes me feel! Highly recommend investing in one...instantly improves your confidence!!
Fitted turtlenecks for fall and winter. Silky camisole for spring and summer. I live in the Pacific Northwest and have a super rainy climate…the trench coat has been such a great change from my usual gross raincoat. I also bought an umbrella for the first time in my life this fall!
I have a pair of black boots that go with everything. They are a very good quality leather, so they have held up very well. They are just right - not too casual, not too dressy. I can wear them with tights, skinny jeans or a skirt. I have had them for years and I feel they are timeless.
Timeless pieces in my wardrobe. Black bottoms (skirts and pants), cashmere sweaters and dark jeans. I also love boots. I have ankle boots, knee high, lace up suede moto boots that I wear year after year. My mother was from Europe and taught me how to take care of garments so they last.
Hi Liz, thank you for mentioning that we should take good care of garments so that they last. Really important nd it can save a lot of money. Have a great weekend and thank you so much for watching! xoxo
I own two Burberry trench coats, both were birthday presents from my husband, both neutral in color yet totally different in tone and cut. I can no longer imagine my wardrobe without them. Thank you for this great Video, Angela!
Dear Angela, thank you for the video. Really enjoyed to watch it. I have to say that my best timeless Items I have are wool red winter coat (I think 12years old), black beret, then jeans jacket (probably not really french style 😀), but what really always stays long in my closet is a skirt. Skirt always fits - if i am extra 5kg or minus 5kg. I have some favourite once in A shape and i can style them changing upper part. So if I am not scared to spent money on something then it is skirt. Best regards from Germany
I have a couple of Burberry trench coats and was unable to find a tan color that was flattering for my skin tone. My solution is to use a scarf close to my face, in colors that are flattering. My other trench coats are navy and a gorgeous red, which I love wearing on a grey and gloomy day. Longevity is perfect, too. My “newest” Burberry is twelve years old. Aside from my Burberry coats, I think my most timeless pieces are silk scarves. Some are expensive investment pieces, some made by local artisans, and others just caught me eye.
This week, which is winter here, I have worn a white and black slim fit v neck shirt, high wasters cords, water proof booties, navy trench, navy turtleneck, red plaid pants, red cashmere long cardi, white t, black dress, sparkle jacket, cream v neck, lace up pants, orchid colored baby doll dress, over knee boots, “fur” coat, camel slim fit pants, slip on sparkle loafers. And with everything leather gloves and a heavy gray parka
Classics will always serve you well. I have all the mentioned pieces except for the mariner top (I used to). However, if I am to walk in Paris, I will be wearing sneakers most of the time. Then change into my cute flats. 😉
Thank you for your informative video. I believe good tailored trousers go a long way and so easy to style. A good pair of straight leg jeans and a some quality blazers are a must. Always looking forward to your videos and thank you again. 💐
Since I am now retiring I am updating my wardrobe to dress down. Your tips are brilliant. I love my new dark jeans, my turtlenecks and I’ve also added some silk shirts. I love my red one lol and I have always worn striped tops so thank you for confirming that. Please what month is the best month to be in Paris with all the beautiful locals.
Hi Angela! This is magnificent advice!! I am tempted as everyone by pieces of clothing that may be trendy and not timeless. My elegant, timeless pieces are high-quality neutral coats that are long, well-tailored, and neutral. For me, black, charcoal gray, or cool-tone beige paired with a cashmere or linen scarf. Also good quality boots (1 tall and 1 short pair since we live in a climate where it rains 6 months of the year.)I also love ballet flats for work! So classy. These are great fashion tips. Greetings from Oregon, USA. Thank you! ❤
Hi Angela. Love your suggestions. I do love a great scarf especially when traveling. I get mines in museums. They really dress up my winter outfits. In Miami not many chances to wear them. As for horizontal lines I don’t wear them I am very very big chested😫 and they don’t do me any favor. Verticals I love. And of course the little black dress is a staple on any closet. 🥰😘😘
Hi Gloria, vertical striped elongate the silhouette. This is such a nice suggestion! I wrote to you on Instagram. I hope everything is OK with you. Sending you hugs! xoxo
If you want to wear a scarf when the weather is hot, you can drape it so that it doesn't touch your skin. I have several long, lightweight silk scarves that I can drape around my top's neckline loosely. You can use a light brooch to keep it in place this way: wrap the scarf over your top, then secure the two tails into the open clasp (don't put the pin through the silk or you'll make holes). Then fasten the pin in your top and fasten the clasp. Your brooch is acting like a scarf keeper.
These are all great ideas for any woman’s wardrobe. I would also add a pair of black slacks and a nice cardigan. They are versatile, you can dress them up or down as you like. I do like a nice tweed coat, too. I would like to buy Chanel in the future, but I have one from Tory Burch. It is lovely and I wore it for years and the coat is still going strong. I appreciate your insight as always, Angela! I hope Angela and all of you have a wonderful weekend! 🧥👗👖🙆🏻♀️🇫🇷🥰❤️💕
Hi Christina :) As always you have excellent recommendations. I also want a tweed coat. It's on my wish list and actually it has been on my wish list for a while :) Have a great weekend! xoxo
Haha your daughter has great taste 😂🤣 Way to go Brianna! Sending you hugs, Melinda! I imagine the pain but I'm sure your beautiful girl is happy with her new Chanel bag ❤
I would recommend Acquascutum instead of Burberry for a trench. Burberry's lining is too recognizable and it becomes a target for thieves, you can't relax when you need to take it off in a restaurant, etc.
I agree . But also Burberry doesn’t have quite the same cachet that it once did - too ubiquitous , rather like Barbour . My father had an Acquascutum for years which some burglars left behind . He always wore it with a trilby hat and looked like Frank Sinatra .
charcoal rollneck sweater, I know it sounds boring but I love it.....I will admit that I bsically wear black and charcoal grey (with the exception of dark blue jeans and a boat neck ,navy /white striped shirt like what you mentioned in the vlog!
I have a favourite cashmere rollback sweater that I've had for years and couldn't go through a winter without it for so many reasons. It looks great under all my coats, and other than an evening look, it can take me just about anywhere, and precisely because of its colour. Charcoal grey is a colour I love to wear in the colder months, its my favourite colour staple for winter and fall because its a perfect foil for so many colours. Think Grey with chocolate brown suede (boots, pants, skirt, handbag) for some casual chicness, for example. Or how about charcoal grey with burgundy, taupes, creams, navy blue, red, orange, green, pinks, or black - all work well. I tend for solids in winter and my patterns are usually in my scarves, and charcoal grey makes such a good background for that. Charcoal grey never sounds boring to me. It's perfect. ;-)
For travel, especially European: I love a gray V-neck cashmere sweater. A neutral color silk blouse that can be worn day or night, with jeans or dress pants. Also a brown or cognac color leather crossbody bag that will carry all the essentials. You give great advice for dressing in Paris! I am studying up! I would love to know what you would wear in the French country as well though. I will be touring around France after I visit Paris for a couple of days this summer.
Hello Angela. Thank you for the tips on trench coat. I made it a rule to have a white shirt, a pair of jeans in classic blue colour, ballerina flats and a black blazer in my wardrobe and I use them a lot. Recently have added la mariniere too as I enjoy this type of tops.
Hi and thank you so much for watching and for sharing your timeless wardrobe essentials :) I think the white shirt and blue jeans are irreplaceable. Have a great weekend! xoxo
Hi !! I love your Channel , For me it’s hard to find something because I am full figured more bulky on top it’s there a advice you can give me how to dress.
My timeless item is a black button down shirt. (Same as white recommended.) Would you have a suggestion for stylish sneakers for traveling in Paris? I can't wear flats but I don't want to stand out in colorful American sneakers. 😊 Thank you.
Hi Anne Marie :) As long as the sneakers are not too colorful you can wear pretty much whatever you like. Just make sure you feel comfortable. A lot of people in Europe (Paris including) wear the Adidas superstar line because the are durable and overall affordable. These have been a huge trend in the past years. Another option can be Geox sneakers. They are even more affordable. I don't know if you have them in the US. They make breathable sneakers mostly: very comfortable and suitable for the summer months because they are very light so you can walk a lot in these. Then you can always have New Balance. I think you have those in the US. These are also trendy in most European cities and are a great option for walking or even Converse sneakers in white. These are used very often too. (and beige, dark blue or black and white). So don't think too much about it. As long as it's not too colorful i.e. with too many colors; sneakers are the best option to explore the city. Choose the ones that will feel most comfortable to you. xoxo
Thrift a Burberry. It may take a while but if you find one that is too big buy it and have it tailored. My Trench coat is 10 years old and a size too big so it can be worn over a heavy jumper.
I have had the worst time finding a trenchcoat, esp. at Burberry. The coats are cut too slim for my curvy figure and all their shades of beige makes me look like a corpse.
Ciao cara, sono italiana e ho 58 anni e porto sempre vestitini di lana di un solo colore sui leggins se fa freddo con scarpe ballerine o mocassini. Se è freddo sopra maglioni o pile con una cintura. La lana mi sembra un caldo abbraccio. Non amo i tacchi e neppure le sciarpe, ma ho collana giorno e notte. Non sono più di moda i fuseau ma io li amo sempre. Come stai bene con i capelli così!
Parisian style secret #11: don’t wear those horrible fake eyelashes. They are, by definition, fake and unnatural, they don’t flatter anyone. Striped T shirts are what American women think French women wear from French movies. Don’t follow the cliche :-)
Hi Judit and thanks for watching! :) I fully agree about the fake eyelashes. I never liked the way they look. I should admit that in the past years I started to see more young French women starting to wear lash extensions and heavier makeup. But overall it looks very tasteful. About the striped top: I have to disagree with you. This used to be a trend 10 years ago and still I see so many women in France wearing stripped top. I usually spent a lot of time in France and I think this trend hasn't changed over the years. Maybe American movies are exaggerating it a little bit but that's the magic of Hollywood that we all love. ::) Have a great day!
Love all these tips! The only thing I differ on is jeans. I mainly wear white or ivory jeans but when I choose blue, I prefer light to medium washes. I wear light, neutral colored tops and when paired with dark denim, I find this to be too much of a contrast in colors for me. 🤍 Thank you for this video!
Hello and thank you so much for watching my video! :) White and ivory jeans give a very chic and expensive look. I rarely wear those but I like to see them on others. Have a great weekend! xoxo
Hi dear friends, let me know what are some of your timeless wardrobe essentials :) I'm very curious to know your must-haves. Have a great day! xoxo
A black cashmere turtleneck sweater. :)
@@robertaw3434 Absolutely gorgeous and timeless! Thank you so much, Roberta! xoxo
@@Frenchforaday I wear tailored black trousers to work usually once a week. Thank you for your great video.
So chic dear Angela my essentials are jewelry and shoes 😝
A pair of neutral boots

The sophisticate eyeshadow palette from Charlotte Tilbury and Chanel red lipstick in Pirate create the classic french look, in my opinion.
The best piece I bought and still buy is a v neck t shirt from rag and bone. I wear it in black grey and in white. It is very good quality and looks really good.
Silk turtlenecks from Lilysilk are wonderful and elegant for fall/winter, blazers yes, handbags, (my obsession) and Nike sneakers or loafers.

I love a trench coat but for me, a navy trench coat is my favourite. I have never found a neutral trench that looked good on me. By the way, Burberry also makes navy trench coats and they’re fabulous.
Navy behaves as a neutral in a lot of situations, so I think it counts.
Navy is my preference in a trench coat as well. Very classic.
Navy is neutral, just like gray, black, and white. She's using the wrong terminology.
I have a navy Burberry trench and it is the best investment piece. I bought it nearly 15 years ago and still classic, and looks brand new
These are great tips and I find that I do find French women to look effortlessly dressed. Lately, I have been loving black....not just tops but jeans and trousers. All black even with navy, I find to be very French!!

Hi, I would say you will see more soft sneakers than ballerines in Paris today...
Ballerinas are unsupportive and you can’t walk very much in them. Being that Parisians walk alot, they wear sneakers!!!
I have had the worst time finding a trenchcoat, esp. at Burberry. The coats are cut too slim for my curvy figure and all their shades of beige makes me look like a corpse.
I'm curvy with narrow shoulders and managed to purchase a Burberry raincoat in London. It has raglan sleeves and is single breasted.
Hello Angela
May I ask you where are you from?
Ciao cara, sono italiana e ho 58 anni e porto sempre vestitini di lana di un solo colore sui leggins se fa freddo con scarpe ballerine o mocassini. Se è freddo sopra maglioni o pile con una cintura. La lana mi sembra un caldo abbraccio. Non amo i tacchi e neppure le sciarpe, ma ho collana giorno e notte. Non sono più di moda i fuseau ma io li amo sempre.
Come stai bene con i capelli così!
A beautiful camel coat for winter is a classic.
Hi Susan, I couldn't agree more! That's such a timeless piece! xoxo
Parisian style secret #11: don’t wear those horrible fake eyelashes. They are, by definition, fake and unnatural, they don’t flatter anyone.
Striped T shirts are what American women think French women wear from French movies. Don’t follow the cliche :-)
Hi Judit and thanks for watching! :) I fully agree about the fake eyelashes. I never liked the way they look. I should admit that in the past years I started to see more young French women starting to wear lash extensions and heavier makeup. But overall it looks very tasteful. About the striped top: I have to disagree with you. This used to be a trend 10 years ago and still I see so many women in France wearing stripped top. I usually spent a lot of time in France and I think this trend hasn't changed over the years. Maybe American movies are exaggerating it a little bit but that's the magic of Hollywood that we all love. ::) Have a great day!
thought you would show your examples. Maybe next time
Do French not wear atheleisure styles?
No. That is why they look so good.
Love all these tips! The only thing I differ on is jeans. I mainly wear white or ivory jeans but when I choose blue, I prefer light to medium washes. I wear light, neutral colored tops and when paired with dark denim, I find this to be too much of a contrast in colors for me. 🤍 Thank you for this video!
Hello and thank you so much for watching my video! :) White and ivory jeans give a very chic and expensive look. I rarely wear those but I like to see them on others. Have a great weekend! xoxo
