French style – Its so effortless, so simple, so classic and timeless, yet sexy and sophisticated! Its trending!!! To make this style more accessible for shoppers all time French style icon Inès de la Fressange launched a line for highstreet retailer Uniqlo earlier this year (Inès de la Fressange x Uniqlo). For fall all French style addicts can look forward to Charlotte Gainsbourg Current Elliott, season one of a collaboration that is scheduled to last for 4 seasons.
There are around 40 pieces in the Charlotte Gainsbourg Current Elliott collection, which is available at the Parisian concept store Colette and arrives worldwide at the end of July. It consists of really basic pants, tee shirts, shirts, sweaters as well as outwear. All slightly inspired by Gainsbourgs own style. Here are my 4 top items to have a closer look at.
The flared denim is pretty cool. It coincides with a general trend towards flared pants for fall 2014. Its super favorable for many shapes due to a leg elongating and hip reducing effect. One of the most beautiful colors for me is the grey version. Worn with a blush pink top and a red bucket bag its the perfect piece to pack for an upcoming Saint Tropez holiday. Combined with a slightly lighter or darker grey sweater and a peacoat its the go for item for fall!

OK, there is a certain age limitation and surely a huge shape limitation. But for the few lucky ones that are in the group with skinny straight and perfectly shaped legs the corduroy shorts are a great alternative to the usual denim cutoffs. Surely they are more for summer! But taking inspiration from Alexa Chung there might really be some, who fabulously combine it with black tights.
A staple of every stylish French girls wardrobe is the oversized knitted sweater. One of my favorites is the black navy bicolor knit. It will definitely look incredible with a skinny jeans with deconstructed hem, brogues and a cool fedora hat.

There are really great cosy coverups in the collection. The grey wool blazer is definitely a pieces that is going to stay in a wardrobe for years. With some white pants, black shoes, a slightly darker grey pullover and a neutral scarf its not only great for fall but also for the evening when you are vacationing at a more northern beach region.
