8 French Fashion Trends That Will Change Your Life

The French are known for their love of fashion, especially designer brands and haute couture. Don't let this intimidate you; the French are also good at taking shortcuts to be fashionable. Here's eight easy, inexpensive ways to look more chic and simplify your wardrobe:

1. Sneakers with basically anything

Being fashionable is usually synonymous with painful footwear, but not in this case. Go ahead and throw on your comfy sneaks with any outfit you want. This is my favorite trend everyone embraces in France.



2. Dark or neutral colors

This trend is the best for simplifying your closet. If you buy all neutral colors you can mix and match everything and not have to worry about clashing. Bonus, no one can tell if you’ve wearing the same black shirt you were three days ago, so you can actually buy less clothing.


3. Effortless hair

It's effortless because you literally rolled out of bed that way. The French don’t emphasize perfectly silky or styled hair, they just work what they’ve got. So follow their lead and you won't have to set your alarm for so early.




4. Canvas bags

The French are obsessed with these super cheap, versatile bags. Whether you are running errands or headed to class, these bags are perfect carry-alls for people on a budget.

5. Bold lipstick

Want to look instantly chic? Try a bright colored lipstick for minimum effort and maximum results.


6. Black pantyhose

It might sound weird, but these are a wardrobe staple for tons of French girls. Pantyhose are different than the opaque or patterned black tights you throw on under a dress on a fall day because they’re more sheer and (in my opinion) more chic. You can wear them on repeat with anything in your closet.

7. Cropped jeans

Everyone, and I mean everyone, wears cropped jeans or cuffs them so they hit just above the ankle. This is a super easy way to make your look more fashionable.

8. Oversized coats

They're warm, comfortable, and chic… what’s not to love? Never sacrifice function in the name of fashion again.

So, I'm not a French fashion expert, but these are a few things I've observed on the streets of Paris. Give them a try if you want some simple ways to be more fashionable!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
