I'm raised in France and Sweden. And the biggest differences in style are the following: *French = Chic and timeless* *Swedish = trendy, accessible and avant-garde*
I’m Norwegian and I would say a well-fitting pair of blue jeans, plus a classic wool winter coat and well-made quality everyday boots would be the must- haves in here Oslo. I think the Scandinavian must-haves in this video are more relevant for teenagers and people in their early twenties. When you pass 25 your priorities change.
Yes, in trondheim it is kinda the same. My go-to's in summer are a nice pair of shorts, flowy wideleg trousers, a denim skirt, and matched with a nice singlet, a flowy cropped shirt, and a t-shirt. In fall/winter I love to wear high waisted jeans with sweaters of every colour
I'm from Finland and to me her tips also seem like a trendy twenty something tips, than something.... eh, stylish? Of course, people in Stockholm have different style taste as me. I'd never ever put on those things! What she's telling about French style makes sense to me though.
Lucky to have lived in both countries...I think one factor makes Scandinavian style unique is that they’re TALL!!! So they can pull off the Acne Studio kinda look really well, which can look really frumpy if you don’t have the height and bone structure.
I'm Swedish but I like the french style more, and how they think. I don't follow trends, I just try to find pieces that look good on me and that I can wear for a long time.
I'm Swedish and I live in Stockholm, and I've always felt weird about the compulsion to change style every single year. It's like people don't have any actual personal opinions, they just follow whatever is on fashion at that point. I guess I'm more French in that sense, I really like the thought of finding what fits me, and go for that. I feel a lot freer in that, I don't have to get something new just because a magazine told me my best trousers are no longer "in". Besides, if you want to try to get away from fast fashion, it's kind of impossible to change your style several times a year. And another thing: Justine, where is your petrol blue coat from? It is fantastic! I've been looking for one like that for ages. :)
America is the like that too. I like timeless pieces, but I also really like black, silver, and pastels lol. I don't care if something is on trend or not, but once in a while I'll follow a trend that I really do like the aesthetic of.
*The more secure people are the more they dress for themselves and not to fit into a group.* You see one item on a few people and the following two weeks every other female is wearing the exact same item. It’s almost as if they worry they will be pushed out of their social circle if they don’t obey the current fashion trend. I find this extra interesting when discussing fashion and so many express they dress in clothes they don’t like because it’s what you are ”suppose” to wear, and not what they genuinly feel like wearing. Why live for strangers when it’s your money you spend and the items go on your own body?! Work on meeting those who are insecure and take the right to critique your fashion decisions. And I know so much what you speak of since I grew up in central Stockholm.
I'm from Finland and I agree with all the Scandinavian "facts" beside the trench. If I'd have to name a third wardrobe essential, it would maybe be a leather jacket or a padded coat.
Yeah I'm Finnish too and I can't really think of a season when we could wear a trench coat! It's always either too cold or too hot. I now live in the UK and I've just started wearing my thin coat (not a trench coat but similar fabric), and I will get a couple of month's wear out of it this season
As a Norwegian I have to agree, from spring until late summer/early fall, it's usually a leather jacket or at least cropped jackets, and for the winter it's usually a padded coat. I also disagree about the jewelry, I rarely see Norwegian women with lots of it..
Great video! As a Scandi myself I think in general people dress very practical here. We need shoes that don't get ruined in a puddle and a coat that can protect us from the rain.
Light beige trench coat brings up memories from my childhood in Finland, when during 1st of May celebrations everyone was wearing it, with our student hat, serpentine around the neck and bottle of sparkling in one hand and balloon in the other. It was like a style nightmare to me!
Liked the the use of side-by-side footage to demonstrate the points each of you made; really emphasized the differences/similarities clearly! Enjoyed this very much; TFP : )
I'm Finnish, and when Justine asked about the hairstyle my mind instantly screamed "messy bun" haha. It's everywhere! Combine that with a sweater, leggings and trainers and you've got a 15 year old Scandi girl
I'm Flemish, Belgian. I would consider my style more French. I also find it funny that of all people Scandinavian people, known for their environmentally progressive ideas, could hold such a consumeristic view on fashion in going for trendy. Guess nobody's perfect! Interesting video.
Me, too! :) Especially about the jewelry, I hardly ever buy myself any, but instead get them as gifts or buy them on "special occasions" like on vacation, so everything has sentimental value. The only scandinavian youtuber I follow is Signe from Use Less, she's Danish and all about capsule wardrobes, sustainability while still staying chique. She mixes french and scandinavian style pretty well I think :)
Oh, it wasn't meant as judgment, a girl loves what a girl loves. It was just very unexpected. Most Scandinavians I know (mostly Finnish I'll admit) seem so functional and down to earth that I just can't seem to picture them as trying to follow trends.
a finn popping in here. i barely own any trendy pieces, or if i do, ive liked them so much that ive worn them a few seasons. and i also skip many trends. im finding myself going towards the more classic and simple pieces. went to stockholm a few weeks ago and a lot of the people seemed to be very on trend. a lot more than in finland imo. maybe we arent as trendy as people in sweden :-) then again everyones different, im sure we can find both types in both countries.
Hi everyone! Happy Sunday! Were these answers what you expected?? 😁 How do you see the style of Scandinavian women? Don't forget to check out Jenny's video, to know what a Scandinavian girl and a French girl wouldn't be caught dead in: th-cam.com/video/duQqBBsBbno/w-d-xo.html
I loved this video - such a fab idea and super interesting. I’d love to do a similar video with you comparing French versus New Zealand fashion. May be tricky given we live a gazillion miles away tho 🙊😂
I'm danish and in the winter we have to dress for the cold, which means spending a lot of money on a big coat and some boots to go with. Even though the clothes have to be warm we still try to be as fashionable as possible :)
I live in Norway and I don't see people trying to follow trends at all cost, or overload on jewelry. And I'd pick a leather jacket or a wooly/warm coat as a staple, rather than a trench coat any day. Fun video though! It's never going to be easy, or possible really, to sum up an entire nation's "style", and Jenny is trying to do 3-in-1 😂
We are also sentimental in America about jewelry - my favorite pieces are from family, my husband, friends. Wedding jewelry is a big one, passed down through generations.
I absolutely loved this conversation! More of them please whenever possible. While watching this I was bemused; my sister and I and 2.5 yrs apart; I fall down firmly on the French side, except for heels because of back problems, while my sis would easily fit into Scandinavian style. In fact I, who am not always aware of fashion trends, can guess what they are just by looking at how my sis is dressing or wearing her hair. Fascinating!!!!
It's the contrasts and similarities between different cultures that are so fun and interesting. Also I would like to see a clip that discusses other cultures influence on your own! For instance the oriental influence in fashion in Europe. :)
both of them are articulate and nice spoken persons, they don't talk nonsense like others........I don't have nerves to listen 98% of you tubers, but this two are great and full of useful information .............thank you girls and keep doing what you do
I'm swedish and I've never been comfortable changing my style with the trends. I've kind of always had "my own style", which is more steered towards timeless pieces. Love having my hair in a bun though! I usually get compliments for being stylish and having my own style even though it's just simple, well fitting clothes of good quality.
@@MathildaFlow Sounds like you have a great sense of style, love that you wear some inherited pieces of jewelry!! You can't go wrong with classic, but individual style!!
Love this collaboration! My two favourite youtubers together! I lived in London and Paris and I'm happy I have sensed the French style correctly when I lived there. My wardrobe went through a big change when I moved from London to Paris, and again when I moved to Amsterdam!
Thank you and bless you for NOT having music running throughout your videos. I find it distracting when there is music playing. Your videos are always clear, positive, and useful, and your English is incroyable!
A dream came true by having these two wonderful youtubers in a collab! I haven't realized until now that both of you live in Berlin ♥ I love you girls! Your devoted Slovak fan :)
The biggest thing I noticed when I studied in France was how muted people's outfits were. Lots of black, everything well tailored or form fitting, barely any baggy clothes, and white sneakers or black/tan chunky heels were popular when I was there. The ankle thing with guys where the pants are almost "flooding" or cuffed shorter was popular there before it was here in the states. Everybody wore nice shoes. Nobody was walking around with scuffed or peeling shoes unless they were another exchange student.
I’m a Floridian (USA), (born and raised) People just dress however they want to here. If someone wants to dress more extreme/edgy, there’s a market for you. If you want to be understated and classic, there’s a market for you. Most people dress comfortably, lots of long, flowy casual dresses, or jeans and a t shirt, or jeans and button downs. A lot of the more (trendy) fashionable women wear clothes that are very sexy and match, usually fast fashion, but there’s been a huge movement towards sustainability and buying local, and I see fashion diversifying and people wearing whatever the hell they want. It just feels so good to see people freely embracing what they want to wear.
This was awesome!! Do more videos like this, please!:) It's really nice to see style differences between cultures. Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed it.
Hi I’m from Sri Lanka. I don’t know if you have ever heard my country but I really enjoy your style tips. They are very professional and applicable universally.

This was cute! The visual comparisons made side by side really help to emphasize the differences. I love that you have been able to collaborate with other TH-camrs lately.
I loved watching the style comparisons with you two, and my husband enjoyed watching it with me. He asks if you have done other videos comparing styles like this in other countries? I'd love to see more like this, it was great watching it!
I was hoping to see you together for a very long time!! I am so happy ❤ I actually discovered Jenny's channel after watching your videos on capsule wardrobe and minimalism. And you are two of my favorite youtubes! Greetings to you both! 😊
It's so amazing that you two collaborated! I have always found myself loving both french and scandinavian style. I hope to see more collabs with Jenny! How about a style-swap for a day? :D
I really love both these styles. I probably identify more with french style in terms of basics/minimalism but I love the comfort and casualness of Scandi style
The Scandinavian style feels really fresh and trendy but I ABSOLUTELY ADORE French style, it's so timeless and classy and make so much sense to me. Awesome video Justine, as always
I'd say both styles have in common the color mixing, as they tend to the monochrome. Here in Latin America we definetely dress more colorful and love the color contrast, even if it's only a black and white look. Great video!
Another difference, that you did touch upon a bit but not fully, is that Swedish people that has a less trend driven style generally like to dress in classic clothes that they like a more preppy & sporty look which I rarely seen in France.
Thank you so much for this video! ♥️ I think the biggest thing that effects our fashion and style in Scandinavia is the winter and lack of sunlight. People tend to wear a lot of black, grey and neutral colors and they don't want to attract very much attention. Right now many young people like pastels and candy colors, those look good against our fair skin. I live in a small town - Southern-Finland. Here in Finland we have our own cosmetic line, Lumene. Please check it out! Finnish ladies have loved Lumene for many years.
I mostly agree with Jenny on scandinavian fashion. But i think we "aspire" french fashion were it is practical (and affordable) clothes: One essential piece .. woolen sweater! (well, also a really warm coat) makeup: I am with Justine here, i think most women try to look natural here accessories: Yes, dont mix silver and gold. Actually, i know very few that do wear gold at all. Mostly silver or steel. shoes: Must be practical and warm! Well, you can wear heels in Reykjavik for going out .. but not where i grew up in Vik, cause .. there is nothing to go out anyway and you will just make a clown out of yourself walking around in such shoes. hair: natural long, rugged, i rarely see bangs Then again, i just googled and had to realize that we are not actually considered part of scandinavia lol. I always though we were.
simply_A many still count finland as part of scandinavia when talking about this sort of stuff bc we are pretty similar in many ways, even tho geographically were not part of scandinavia, but fennoscandia
also a thing ive noticed with the jewelry, people with warmer/darker skin color usually suit gold better. at least me being very white and cold undertoned suit silver a lot better. definitely goes with preferance but i think that can also have something to do with it lol
ann oh definitely! My sis' skin color is tan and she can work with gold or silver. Although she prefers gold more! For me, I prefer gold too although my skin color isn't as dark. I think the clothes are also an influence with what matches with what.
Aaaaw I found this only now! Both of you are my inspiration, I've been watching you ladies for quite some time now, so it's great to actually see you together :)
Loved this collab! I agree with Justine about the jewelry (sentimental pieces being my favorites) but with Jenny on the shoes. Now on to the next one on Jenny's channel.
I must be French and didn't know it? I never go along with trends and have the same exact style that Justine described . Now it's time to watch the other link! 👍❤
I love that you two make that video together, I haven't watch Jenny for a while and I'm shocked, Jenny darlin you have eyebrows again, love both your esthetics. Great job !
There's definitely a tendency in Scandinavia to follow short trends, but there's also a lot of people who are deeply practical. At least here in Finland, there's so much emphasis on the practical side of things that we easily forget that beauty and pleasure are also important.
I definitely love and prefer the French style, which is a lot more elegant, classic, timeless and it makes a lot more sense! Congrats Justine 👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️👏🙏♥️
As I was doing a bit of spring cleaning through my closet I realised a lot my clothes are from Scandi brands (Swedish or Danish). I find their oversized stuff very comfy and effortless (but still paired up with super skinny Nudies :). But I tend to style those pieces the French way, because I absolutely hate bringing too much attention to myself haha...
Filippa K and Acne gets mentioned here (UK) a lot. I have some modal & cotton basics from Samsoe & Samsoe, dresses from Monki and denim items from Cheap Monday. All my clothes are affordable (for a student's budget), but they last if you wash them properly. Nudie jeans are very high quality, but they don't really suit my tiny Asian frame. I bought one, which I had to alter, years ago and they've aged better than any jeans I ever owned. I bought a few chunky wool jumpers in Stockholm years ago. They have that traditional Swedish/Scandi pattern (looks like a Christmas jumper). They've became my fav jumpers. Unfortunately I cut off the tags, but it was just a local store so it might have been an unknown brand anyway. Scotland makes similar items and they're relatively cheaper, but still of good quality.
I've been waiting for you two to collaborate for so long! Your channels are among the very few from which I never miss a video, and I love hearing your perspectives on regional style. Thanks so much for the fantastic, thoughtful content!
Jenny, i would like to see one or more videos showing "the beige trench coat" over the years. I was fascinated with your subtle taste. I am an American. When young, a while ago, it seems that -unknowingly - I followed a lot of the Frech style.
I loved this! And, just as note, I identified more closely with French on everything except the hair - I can’t do bangs & I can appreciate a good messy bun!!!
Bonjour Justine, je suis originaire d'un pays nordique, cela fait (cet été) 40 ans que je vis en France et point de vue maquillage, garde robe etc. je suis devenue une vraie française et j'en suis contente et même fière : tellement plus élégante. Grand bonjour de la Bretagne XXX

@Thornback Same in Northern Sweden. Stocholmers really have a thing of their own.
Yes, in trondheim it is kinda the same. My go-to's in summer are a nice pair of shorts, flowy wideleg trousers, a denim skirt, and matched with a nice singlet, a flowy cropped shirt, and a t-shirt. In fall/winter I love to wear high waisted jeans with sweaters of every colour
I agree. I'm Norwegian too.

You can tell how proud Justine is of French style! Love the slightly mischievous smile and sparkle in the eyes ;)
I'm Swedish but I like the french style more, and how they think. I don't follow trends, I just try to find pieces that look good on me and that I can wear for a long time.

And another thing: Justine, where is your petrol blue coat from? It is fantastic! I've been looking for one like that for ages. :)
my coat is from Comptoir des Cotonniers (from a year when that color was everywhere - right now it is almost impossible to find)
I think all the French style is about '' how to forget fashion '' that's why timeless clothes are our preferred
America is the like that too. I like timeless pieces, but I also really like black, silver, and pastels lol. I don't care if something is on trend or not, but once in a while I'll follow a trend that I really do like the aesthetic of.
same almost in Denmark, trends rule people alot.
*The more secure people are the more they dress for themselves and not to fit into a group.*
You see one item on a few people and the following two weeks every other female is wearing the exact same item. It’s almost as if they worry they will be pushed out of their social circle if they don’t obey the current fashion trend.
I find this extra interesting when discussing fashion and so many express they dress in clothes they don’t like because it’s what you are ”suppose” to wear, and not what they genuinly feel like wearing.

I live in Stockholm, and I hardly ever see trenchcoats! When the weather gets warmer it’s all about the cropped jackets.
I agree with you. I thought she will mention stripes . Or flower prints for some reason.😂 Finnish girls uniform in a way.
lol
As a Norwegian I have to agree, from spring until late summer/early fall, it's usually a leather jacket or at least cropped jackets, and for the winter it's usually a padded coat. I also disagree about the jewelry, I rarely see Norwegian women with lots of it..

I like how sneakers were not even on the radar screen for Justine.
Its like she was scandalized I enjoyed her reaction a lot 😂😂😂
One thing both of you are is efficient! I love a video that gets straight to the topic, no long intros carrying on and on about absolutely nothing.
I live in Sweden, everyone here wears full black clothes 😂
Same in Finland
I'm Finnish, and when Justine asked about the hairstyle my mind instantly screamed "messy bun" haha. It's everywhere! Combine that with a sweater, leggings and trainers and you've got a 15 year old Scandi girl
this is so much fun ! it's so cool to see myself on your channel, hihi ! :)
same for me! I have your video in my subscription feed and it feels weird :-D
You two are the best youtubers in my opinion. Great to see you both working together. This video was perfect.
elegant work you two! looking fwd to seeing the series ;-D
I didn't come on any channel but it was fun watching both videos😘 .....

Wouldn't the weather have a big impact on fashion choices? I would think that coats would be important in areas that get snow. And boots.

Justine Leconte officiel ♥️🤗
I'm more French-oriented when it comes to dressing myself, though I'd go for Scandi interior design (maybe because I love building IKEA flatpacks).
Justine please do more of these, it would be so informative and interesting! (comparing cultures)
I second this!
Ha ha I asked the same thing on Jenny's channel!

French style all the way !!
I lived in Norway for half a year and this description of Scandinavian style is so accurate!

This was cute! The visual comparisons made side by side really help to emphasize the differences. I love that you have been able to collaborate with other TH-camrs lately.
I loved watching the style comparisons with you two, and my husband enjoyed watching it with me. He asks if you have done other videos comparing styles like this in other countries? I'd love to see more like this, it was great watching it!
Yessss this is the collab we all wanted but didn't deserve!
I was hoping to see you together for a very long time!! I am so happy ❤ I actually discovered Jenny's channel after watching your videos on capsule wardrobe and minimalism. And you are two of my favorite youtubes! Greetings to you both! 😊
The collaboration I've waited for my whole life
It's so amazing that you two collaborated! I have always found myself loving both french and scandinavian style. I hope to see more collabs with Jenny! How about a style-swap for a day? :D
lovely idea... we don't have the same size at all, unfortunately :-)
+Justine Leconte officiel You could do a make up/hair style swap instead. Jenny gets a long dark wig and you shave off your eyebrows ;-)
I really love both these styles. I probably identify more with french style in terms of basics/minimalism but I love the comfort and casualness of Scandi style
wooow! 2 of my favourite stars together! ♡♡♡
love these two, so great to see them together
Love that gorgeous statement necklace you showed just briefly! Dresses up a black outfit just right
I love French fashion more though. Anyway, you both so beautiful and nice accents.
The Scandinavian style feels really fresh and trendy but I ABSOLUTELY ADORE French style, it's so timeless and classy and make so much sense to me. Awesome video Justine, as always
Great idea to compare styles with other European countries!
I'd say both styles have in common the color mixing, as they tend to the monochrome. Here in Latin America we definetely dress more colorful and love the color contrast, even if it's only a black and white look. Great video!
Loving these two classy women ❤❤and loved the video !
Thank you lovely ladies!!!
Although I am three times more Scandinavian than French, I have to say I follow the French style on each if the ten topics that you discussed. 😏
French have it figured out. It's tough to find quality clothes in Stockholm, unless you are 170 cm and 60 Kg.
Helen lanning Same! I was actually kind of embarrassed by the Scandi style...
My goal is to build a French inspired classic wardrobe for sure! It pretty much guides any purchase I make these days!
I love you two so much!!
OMG I wanted this episode 60 mins longer!!!!!! You two are fabulous
Hehehe we would have gotten carried away if we had been talking for 60 minutes 😅
Another difference, that you did touch upon a bit but not fully, is that Swedish people that has a less trend driven style generally like to dress in classic clothes that they like a more preppy & sporty look which I rarely seen in France.
Thank you so much for this video! ♥️ I think the biggest thing that effects our fashion and style in Scandinavia is the winter and lack of sunlight. People tend to wear a lot of black, grey and neutral colors and they don't want to attract very much attention. Right now many young people like pastels and candy colors, those look good against our fair skin. I live in a small town - Southern-Finland. Here in Finland we have our own cosmetic line, Lumene. Please check it out! Finnish ladies have loved Lumene for many years.
I mostly agree with Jenny on scandinavian fashion. But i think we "aspire" french fashion were it is practical (and affordable)
clothes: One essential piece .. woolen sweater! (well, also a really warm coat)
makeup: I am with Justine here, i think most women try to look natural here
accessories: Yes, dont mix silver and gold. Actually, i know very few that do wear gold at all. Mostly silver or steel.
shoes: Must be practical and warm! Well, you can wear heels in Reykjavik for going out .. but not where i grew up in Vik, cause .. there is nothing to go out anyway and you will just make a clown out of yourself walking around in such shoes.
hair: natural long, rugged, i rarely see bangs
Then again, i just googled and had to realize that we are not actually considered part of scandinavia lol. I always though we were.
still, it is interesting to read about the style in your country!
Same with Finland :D we are Nordic country but not part of Scandinavia, even tho we are so close ;D but style is pretty much the same
simply_A many still count finland as part of scandinavia when talking about this sort of stuff bc we are pretty similar in many ways, even tho geographically were not part of scandinavia, but fennoscandia
also a thing ive noticed with the jewelry, people with warmer/darker skin color usually suit gold better. at least me being very white and cold undertoned suit silver a lot better. definitely goes with preferance but i think that can also have something to do with it lol
ann oh definitely! My sis' skin color is tan and she can work with gold or silver. Although she prefers gold more! For me, I prefer gold too although my skin color isn't as dark. I think the clothes are also an influence with what matches with what.
Aaaaw I found this only now! Both of you are my inspiration, I've been watching you ladies for quite some time now, so it's great to actually see you together :)
Omg so cool I ❤️ you both!! What a wonderful video today! 💕💕💕
Justine, you are so elegant in the black dress. But also elegant in general, with the way you carry yourself.
Thabk you 💛
Loved this collab! I agree with Justine about the jewelry (sentimental pieces being my favorites) but with Jenny on the shoes. Now on to the next one on Jenny's channel.
Chariots1981 I'm agree too on jewelry, I never wear cheap jewelry, there is no history, it's so sad
LOVE you and Jenny Mustard together! more please.
I must be French and didn't know it? I never go along with trends and have the same exact style that Justine described . Now it's time to watch the other link! 👍❤
I love that you two make that video together, I haven't watch Jenny for a while and I'm shocked, Jenny darlin you have eyebrows again, love both your esthetics. Great job !
It was really interesting to hear about two countries fashion and habits.
There's definitely a tendency in Scandinavia to follow short trends, but there's also a lot of people who are deeply practical. At least here in Finland, there's so much emphasis on the practical side of things that we easily forget that beauty and pleasure are also important.
Stocholm is not representing Scandinavia. When going there everybody is following latest trends and look more similar than rest scandi-capitals.
I definitely love and prefer the French style, which is a lot more elegant, classic, timeless and it makes a lot more sense! Congrats Justine 👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️👏🙏♥️
The best collaboration I could've dreamed of! ♥️
I love learning about beauty in different cultures! Thanks!
As I was doing a bit of spring cleaning through my closet I realised a lot my clothes are from Scandi brands (Swedish or Danish). I find their oversized stuff very comfy and effortless (but still paired up with super skinny Nudies :). But I tend to style those pieces the French way, because I absolutely hate bringing too much attention to myself haha...
Rahmi what are some good Scandinavian brands?
Filippa K and Acne gets mentioned here (UK) a lot. I have some modal & cotton basics from Samsoe & Samsoe, dresses from Monki and denim items from Cheap Monday. All my clothes are affordable (for a student's budget), but they last if you wash them properly. Nudie jeans are very high quality, but they don't really suit my tiny Asian frame. I bought one, which I had to alter, years ago and they've aged better than any jeans I ever owned. I bought a few chunky wool jumpers in Stockholm years ago. They have that traditional Swedish/Scandi pattern (looks like a Christmas jumper). They've became my fav jumpers. Unfortunately I cut off the tags, but it was just a local store so it might have been an unknown brand anyway. Scotland makes similar items and they're relatively cheaper, but still of good quality.
I love the perspective from two different countries and fashion perspectives. Many thanks...it was interesting, instructive and amusing.
I loved the video and the chat, I think most people recognise their locals when they are abroad :)) there is something about each nationality
I've been waiting for you two to collaborate for so long! Your channels are among the very few from which I never miss a video, and I love hearing your perspectives on regional style. Thanks so much for the fantastic, thoughtful content!
Collab of dreams!
Jenny, i would like to see one or more videos showing "the beige trench coat" over the years. I was fascinated with your subtle taste. I am an American. When young, a while ago, it seems that -unknowingly - I followed a lot of the Frech style.
french style is the best! you can't go wrong with a french style. It's classy and timeless:)
Right ! But I do no think that Justine is really an ambassador for the French style, she is too old school !
I feel so sophisticated learning about French and Scandinavian style.
SO SO happy to see you together girls ! Would you go for some more videos together maybe ? It's so interesting !
Some two favourite TH-cam people - what a joy.
I loved this! And, just as note, I identified more closely with French on everything except the hair - I can’t do bangs & I can appreciate a good messy bun!!!
I LOVE THIS! My 2 fave youtube gals together at last!
This is a wonderful video! Thank you Justine and Jenny! x
Very interesting! I'm from Canada and listening to this, it makes me reflect on our own national style tendencies, and how my own tastes fit in!
Please do more of these videos exploring different styles with people from other countries! Maybe do Germany next? 😄
They both live in Germany so they can see every day what people are wearing.
Bonjour Justine, je suis originaire d'un pays nordique, cela fait (cet été) 40 ans que je vis en France et point de vue maquillage, garde robe etc. je suis devenue une vraie française et j'en suis contente et même fière : tellement plus élégante. Grand bonjour de la Bretagne XXX
Justine, your long hair is so beautiful!
sdraper2011. Yes, long like a princess, Gorgeous,
OMG I never expected that both cultures could be so different. Thanks for both videos.
