Picture it: it’s the night before Paris Fashion Week, and you’ve just flown in with 15 suitcases. A taxi is taking you to the city, past the Eiffel Tower of course, which is twinkling for your arrival. You’re wearing your new favourite snake print knee high boots, and there’s champagne in your future. Life is good.
Wouldn’t that be nice? Unfortunately, as I write this — and you read it — we’re all probably sitting at home in another pair of sweats, half a block of Caramilk deep (quelle horreur!). Shall we forget about our troubles for just one night, and skip off to Paris instead? After all, it was meant to be Paris Fashion Week right now. It’d be rude not to.
Are you in the mood to dress up and dance the night away, too? Paris Fashion Week is the perfect opportunity, even if you’re not leaving your house. Here’s some high fashion inspiration.
Ladies’ Lunch on the Champs Elysee
Nothing says statement like a pair of printed, wide-leg pants. Except maybe a pair of printed, wide-leg pants worn with a coloured blazer. And some fun accessories. Waiter, another glass.
Dinner & A (Fashion) Show
Late Parisian nights (at a fashion designer’s house, no doubt) call for pinstripe pants, a silk top, studded jacket and glam accessories. Chic.com.
The After Party
What’s more fun than a runway? The after party, obviously. Layered pieces, a faux fur jacket and look-at-me accessories take you to both. Lucky you brought all those options.
Street Style Vibes
Oh, you want to take my photo? If you’re hanging on the streets outside, you’ll need leather pants, an oversized jacket and combat boots that scream ‘off-duty’.
