I'm a Parisian-Here's What 'Emily in Paris' Gets Wrong About French Style, and What to Wear Instead
"One of the consulting costume designers for Emily in Paris, Patricia Field, is now a household name thanks to Sex and the City. The fictional Carrie Bradshaw has become a fashion icon, and women have replicated winning looks from the series, like tutus, flower brooches, and vintage Dior saddle bags, in the decades since the show's first episode aired. The hype was high for the fashion in Emily in Paris since the city itself is a style symbol."
"From the first episode of season one, Emily showcased her excitement for Paris with an accessory as touristy as an Eiffel Tower T-shirt: a beret. The century-plus-old accessory was chic on Brigitte Bardot and Coco Chanel, but these days, the felt caps are the opposite of what the French consider fashionable. Instead, you'll notice women sporting various versions of fedoras, which Parisians personalize with an expertly tied ribbon, scarf, or pin."
Patricia Field gained fame from Sex and the City and contributed to Emily in Paris wardrobe choices that generated significant fashion interest. Carrie Bradshaw influenced trends such as tutus, flower brooches, and vintage Dior saddle bags. Emily's outfits in Paris are eye-catching, yet French street style favors understated, effortless looks. Parisians view berets as touristy and prefer wide-brim fedoras personalized with ribbons or scarves. Mini bags are less practical than crossbody slings. A curated list of 12 affordable items captures the French-girl aesthetic while avoiding overtly showy pieces.
