THE SUMMER FRNCH SUITCASE

Opening your closet, thinking about what you’re going to take with you on vacation, making a selection (because no, you don’t want to make the same mistake as last year with an heavy suitcase), then finally putting everything in your suitcase because “you never know”, struggling to close it…

To avoid a nightmarish start to your vacation, here is a little FRNCH suitcase overview to simplify your life and free your mind: between seasonal essentials and favorite pieces, be ready for your next summer getaway.

Our advice? Make a list and think in terms of versatility: bring skirts, shorts or jeans that will match several tops, shirts, sweaters and accessories BUT above all, bring the pieces you really love.

Let’s be ready for the summer FRNCH list:

For the sun, we necessarily adopt
the Loanne hat, a little new one in the FRNCH wardrobe and already essential to avoid sunburn while remaining stylish.

Timeless and trendy, the knitted tops are a must-have, so we take with us the Zania et Emiliane.

To wear tirelessly all summer: the inevitable Orlane short overalls, ultra confortable. On adore son allure décontractée. On ajoute un short taille haute structurant la silhouette, a floral dress in a sparkling chromatic palette. We also invest in the Katejumpsuit for a perfect mix of lightness and a touch of chic. Its advantage? It can be worn during the day as well as in the evening.

We do not leave without our best allies of the beautiful summer days that is to say the skirt and the dress. Easy to wear and comfortable when temperatures are rising, the FRNCH team has opted for the Menisis skirt, a real sunshine.

You should also have a little dress for outdoor parties, theJailysdress should be the solution: light and airy, it won’t take up much space in your suitcase.

Don’t forget to take a cardigan sweater or jumper to wear on the beach when the sun goes down Our choice: the Mandi cardiganpour une dose de douceur.

For a successful summer monochrome look, pack the Zoeshorts and the coordinating Jody shirt in fuchsia or pistachio versions. Don’t forget to add a touch of orange to your suitcase (this season’s IT COLOR) with THE THEAleashirt dress, which can be worn with both sandals and sneakers.

All you have to do is pack your outfits with
Marie Kombo’s magic method and you’re ready to start the holidays without a headache

Mix & Match: Never cast a clout till May is out

Are you tired of following trends, of not being able to wear your favorite pieces at the same time and of worrying every morning because you think this shirt doesn’t go with these pants?

No more injunctions on the outfits, bye bye the too sober looks, no more the unique pattern. Today we tell you all about the Mix & Match, or the art of matching different colors and patterns together.

But be careful, Mix & match doesn’t mean looking like Harlequin and dressing up. Yes, yes, we can already hear you say: “I will finally be able to wear my green pants with my pink jacket and my purple tee-shirt”.
While this outfit is very tempting and seems to meet the definition of mix & match, it may turn our heads.

Don’t panic! We’ll give you the codes to manage this trend and allow you to be even more spontaneous in your looks.

1) The golden rule

If we tell you “too much information kills information”. You tell us?
If we tell you “too much pattern kills pattern”? Do you have it?

As you can see, not too many ingredients and just the right amount of ingredients make a good mix.

That’s why you should choose two or three colors maximum, and two patterns or prints, for perfect matches.

Let see:
We mix the orange ZANIA ribbed mesh top with the pink PARVEDY cotton pants, for a colorful and vitaminized look.

The navy blue GABY viscose pants and the purple MAIWEN blouse.

Or, the ochre GINA trousers, and the pink SHERINE top.

2) Play with colors, play with prints, and mix and match.

The key word:

DARE Dare to challenge the codes you have always learned. Dare to change your habits of color or pattern associations.

Why wouldn’t checks go with polka dots? Who said that stripes only go with solid colors? The rules that have always been imposed are gone, now say hello to originality.

Here is the secret so make these combinations work well together : have a common thread. If you know the purpose of your outfit, and the results you expect, then you’ll have it all.

Thus we do not hesitate to combine stripes with patterns. The association of the printed Paloma DORIA short and the red cotton top FLORA shows us perfectly.

Or flowers with checks: the liberty LISIANE top and the pink PARVEDY gingham pants for example.

3) Create contrast: with opposite colors or materials

For the less daring, we suggest you play on the materials and their volume.

We dare to wear a light printed skirt and add a thicker sweater with expressive material.

Take the white MIKA sweater and the mesange Elyette skirt, you’ll have an original and perfectly mastered outfit.

We can also play with multicolored pieces and match them with other colors. A colorful top close to the body, shorts a little looser but straight, and a large knit will dress you perfectly. For this, take the white KATHY shorts, the brick CATALINE jersey top, and the rainbow MANDI vest.

You will then get an outfit with character.

Femme FRNCH 〰️ Meet Thaïs

Can you introduce yourself?

My name is Thaïs, I’m 25 years old and I’m from Bordeaux. I studied in a business school and I specialized in communication / digital. I have always worked in the fashion world, from luxury to premium. I am now at FRNCH for a few months.

What is your role at FRNCH?

I am a digital communication project manager. I’m in charge of the communication of the brand on social networks, through newsletters or on the e-shop. I am also in charge of partnerships and collaborations. I am the guarantor of the image conveyed about FRNCH.

How long have you been working at FRNCH?

4 months

FRNCH in three words for you, what is it?

Colorful, feminine and cosmopolitan.

How would you describe your style?

I am chic while being casual. I’m often in sneakers to stroll around Paris, but I always enhance my outfit with a nice chic coat, or dressy pants. And I never forget the touch of lipstick.

What is the piece that best represents you?

A nice jacket (or coat). I think that it finishes an outfit perfectly and it’s the first thing you notice, they are strong pieces.

What is your first fashion memory?

It is when I used to steal my mom’s things from her closet (especially her heels) and play with them. I had also done a fashion show as a child, and that’s when I realized that I loved fashion.

Why work in fashion?

I have always been fascinated by fashion,especially by the different styles that exist. I love dressing up. An outfit that I will love will make me feel good about myself and confident.
I wanted to be able to participate in making women feel confident and to be able to work from my passion

The best advice we could give you?

“Everything happens for a reason”. Every moment of your life is there for something and it’s one more step to get to your final goals. This saying allows you to ask yourself the right questions and to be positive.

The thing you can’t do without on a daily basis?

Listening to music. I live by music whether at home, at work or elsewhere. It puts me in a good mood and motivates me.

Do you have any passion(s)?

I love boxing, it has become a real hobby. It’s a fun sport where I can work out.
I am also passionate about traveling. I love to discover new countries, new cultures. It is a real wealth that I love to explore. I try to leave as soon as I have the opportunity.

Mexico: I lived there, and I fell in love with this country.

Print Party !

We’ve been telling you about them for a while now, but we haven’t really explained them to you. An integral part of the FRNCH know-how, giving it its unique DNA, our prints are exclusive and homemade.
Home made because they are developed by our graphic designers in our Parisian studios.
From the inspiration to the final print, there are many stages and everything is organized in our studios. Moodboard after moodboard, our graphic designers draw inspiration and sketch designs. As the collection is created, they evolve towards their final version.
Once the design is validated, it is digitized and harmonized. The colours are edited for a perfect finish.
Each season has its own prints, from accessories to ready-to-wear.

At first glance, the Tasselli print is made up of colours here and there, arranged in dabs like scattered paint marks. But take a closer look. When you zoom in further, you can see the tiles melting away, composed of these brightly coloured touches. The pastel background softens the overall effect, bringing you delicacy and discreet colours for a sweet summer.
Vintage liberty inspirations brought up to date with modern touches, this is the successful bet of the Tasselli print.

Inspired by postcards of paradise islands, blue skies and sunsets, the Reunion Island print invites you to enjoy the sea breeze. It takes you on a journey to this heavenly island. It brings you a zen state of mind and a feeling of calmness thanks to its blue tones mixed with pastel. It will give a retro chic touch to your outfit.

Bright and harmonious colours to revive your complexion, that’s the Mésange print effect.
Inspired by colourful Art Deco mosaics, it hides floral and animal motifs. Can you make them out? The shapes reveal birds and various flowers. Look closely and be swept away into the psychedelic world of chickadees. It is the ideal ally for a vitamin-packed summer.
