Dress Like a French Woman

A Parisian-inspired one-page style guide for effortless, everyday dressing.

Everyday Fall Classics With Frank And Eileen

When I choose to bring pieces into my closet for a new season, I always think about how classic they are and how much I can wear them. My thoughts always guide me around the French wardrobe philosophy of investing in quality pieces, which you can wear season after season. These are the pieces that will outlast any trend and will always remain stylish and classic.

A few years ago, I was introduced to the brand Frank & Eileen and was immediately drawn to their classic pieces, specifically their selection of button-down shirts. Frank & Eileen started in 2009, when the company’s founder, decided she wanted to reinvent the women’s button-down.

The company was named after her Irish grandparents, Frank & Eileen, and has since become a global fashion brand. It’s a woman-owned and women-led company that focuses on sustainability and quality items.

Frank & Eileen are known for their button ups, with five different styles to suit everyone. My favorite style and the one I started with is the Eileen, which has a relaxed fit, yet still looks polished and classic. It is a little oversized, so I always go with a small in this style.

My favorite way to wear a Frank & Eileen button up is to scrunch up the sleeves and pop the color a bit.

Derry Illusion Pants + Victoria White Blouse

If you’re looking for the perfect white top that’s a bit longer but very luxe-looking, then try the Victoria Blouse. I have several blouses from Frank and Eileen, but this one elevates any look. It’s the brand’s first Tuxedo style, and I absolutely love the look. It does run oversized, so I went down two sizes to an XS.

I finished the look with the Patrick Fleece, I am wearing a medium. This cozy top is perfect when you want to throw something on in the mornings.

When I first tried on the Derry Illusion Pant I was a bit nervous about it fitting like a legging but that couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s actually a straight leg pull on pant that feels incredible and gives the illusion of jeans.

I am wearing my normal size in the Derry Illusion, which is a size 6. I can see these being a pair of pants I travel to Paris with throughout the seasons.

Belfast English Peacoat + Galway 1972 Denim

The Belfast English Peacoat is a perfect fleece coat to wear for travel. It’s not heavy yet feels warm and cozy. Wear it with a t-shirt and jeans or pants for your next trip and you’ll feel comfortable and stylish looking. The coat does run large and I am wearing a size small.

The Galway Jean, is also great for travel or as an everyday denim. It has wide legs and a crop making it perfect to wear with boots for fall. I am wearing the Galway in my normal size.

Monterey Rolled Neck Sweater

During the fall and autumn season I love to wear a cozy sweater for travel or school drop off. This Monterey Roll Neck sweater is amazing and feels so luxe and soft. I went up one size to a medium because I wanted it to fit a bit more relaxed. It comes in several colors to wear with denim or even trousers for the season.
