Festive Outfits for that French Girl fashionista.
These French girl-style festive outfits will have you looking like the belle of the ball this Christmas season. Christmas is in full swing and we can’t wait to see what treasures Santa has brought us. The lead-up to Christmas is just as exciting with our calendars filling up with festive parties, now is the time to pull out the most glamorous outfits that will make you feel like the star on top of the tree.
Christmas fashion doesn’t have to mean ugly Christmas jumpers, pom-pom earrings, and flashing headbands, it’s the best time to be extra glamourous. We have taken inspiration from some of our favourite French french Girl festive fashion outfits that perfectly capture the Christmas spirit.
Unlike the many of us who can go a bit overboard with all the sequins, jewels and glitter at our disposal, the French know that the devil is often in the detail and sometimes less is more.
That is not to say that they are opposed to a little sparkle, but it is done in what you imagine in a more chic and subtle way. You will rarely find a French girl wearing a tinsel jumper and unless the event asks for a ball gown or cocktail dress, they won’t be too overdressed either rather they will simply elevate a relatively simple outfit.
Keep reading to get the ultimate French girl festive outfits guide that will give you endless outfit inspirations to get you through the Christmas period, chic and in style.

Casual Festive Outfits
Jeans and a nice top become a staple, elevated with jewellery such as a pair of sparkly earrings and makeup such as a red lip or a smoky eye to take it to the next level.
This casual look is a fail-safe outfit any time of year and a French girl’s go-to for any festive soirée. To make it more festive and winter-appropriate, choose a long-sleeved top over a short sleeve or a cami and pair it with a pair of black jeans or black trousers.
The simplicity and more casual look of the jeans allow you to play around with different textures, prints and colours of the top, for Christmas we recommend velvet or a top adorned with some sparkle. Finish the look with a blazer, some barely-there heels and bold lips and you’ve got a chic outfit that works in almost any scenario when you need to look like you’ve made an effort but not too much, as is the French way.
Minidress
If a minidress or short skirt is your party outfit of choice, give it some chic French flair by pairing shorter silhouettes with either a pair of knee-high boots over tights. Not only will this keep your legs warm, but it will keep a little mystery when it comes to showing off your body which gives the look an added touch of elegance.
You can keep it chic and simple by opting for all-black or you can choose a dress with some sparkle to make it more festive as long as you keep the rest of the look simple. You could also opt for a basic dress and pair it with some sparkly tights for the ultimate Christmas feel.

Power Suit
French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent changed the fashion world with his Le Smoking Tuxedo in the 1960s. He was the first fashion couturier to present the suit as a form of women’s evening wear, defining an era for feminism in favour of more masculine power dressing for women. To this day, there is no look more elegant, timeless and definitely more French than a bold suit.
For the ultimate Parisian chic look, stick to an all-black suit, size up to go bolder in the shoulders and accentuate your waist with a simple black belt. Since it is a monochrome outfit, you can add some sparkle with your accessories or opt for a colourful shoe.
Slip Dress
The slip dress is the epitome of tasteful sex appeal and a French fashion staple. If you are going to a fancier event or simply want to look and feel your best self, a long-line silk slip dress is the way to go. The long skirt of the dress balances out the more revealing top to keep the look elegant while still allowing room for sexiness with the revealed décolletage.
The silk material is perfect for the festive season and elevates the dress’s simple structure with grace. Drape a wool coat over your shoulders and add delicate accessories.
