The Sartorialist

Love the bottom picture – that is a most fantastic belt especially contrasted with the light weight silk of her dress. Not so sure what’s going on in the top picture, her top and the tassle look interesting but the pants don’t work for me. Maybe this outfit needs to be seen in 3D or as she moves?

Beautiful. I love the classic- chic look she has in both pictures

Wow, love the first image. Those trousers are wonderful. High-heeled and Katherine Hepburn-esque.

Even though the outfits vary greatly, there is continuity in the way she wears her clothes: the mid-arm sleeves, the clear waist, the pose, the amount of roominess in her pants, the scarf. To my queer eye, she seems extremely sexy although she is covered up. Jorge from W Palm Beach

The proportions here look odd to me, particularly in the top photo. I think the way the sleeves are pushed up to end right at the belt creates an unflattering, or less interesting, line (that’s probably more true in this pose than in motion), the pleated pants with the short legs seem to shorten her own legs (which are in fact long, otherwise it would be even less flattering), the scarf seems out of place and out of scale- all the proportions just look slightly off- TO ME. There’s also a stiffness to the look which I find unappealing. Sorry.

She looks glorious in the second picture specially…my god the boots, the belt..and the dress itself, everything is fantastic.
Great choice!!!!

Love the confidence she has in her style!

It seems to me that often the women who seem most self-assured (in these posts) are not carrying a purse. Often they are holding their phone/blackberry and notebooks in their hands. No bag. I like this (though at times it is impractical) and think it communicates confidence.

I think we are post the big “it” bag which for too long was used as a stand-in for real style and alas was only fashion.

What an incredibly stylish lady! Classic and smart, feminine but not saccharine, quirky without cloying ‘look-at-me’ kookiness.

Her top in the first photo is a fascinating shape, and I’m dying to see more of that tassel…

if only i had it that easy!

The belt?

To die for :)

And gold and navy look stunning together!

LOVE her boots in the 2nd pic….In fact, love the complete outfit (except for the belt…)

First one = picture perfect !

Elegance.

The first picture is such a good look. This is THE look of the season. All of my looks this winter will hopefully be as good as this! Those trousers are perfect with those shoes and the scarf just gives it a chic edge. Navy grey and blak are the ones to watch!

Not my style at all, but I love the belt on the bottom picture!

i love the colors….the second look is fabulous, awesome boots and great belt.

Salut,

the combintation and the way she is wearing it is not perfect.
The boots to this blue outfit are an absolutly no-go. I would say: Stiletto heels in gold.
No Scarve, hair open would be better.
She needs a clutch!

I LOVE the Shoulderpads on her dress.

A bientôt,
Jérôme

She looks a little like Juliette Binoche, with her delicate features.
I had an outfit like the bottom photo, back in 1982. I still have the WonderWoman belt. I even had foam shoulder pads that miraculously melded to my body, allowing me to bulk up the shoulders of clothes that had no built-in pads.
Are those days back?

She has such eloquent style.

that belt is amazing!

I love that her boots look lived in. Twelve by Twelve (oddly enough) had a great dress similar to this last year. I bought it, and this photo has inspired me to wear it differently. Merci beaucoup!

I love the classic Hepburn pant! When the fashion press declared the pleated, tapered leg ugly and out of style in the 90s, I said, it is not ugly if you have the figure that can wear it! If the wool is superb with drape like this, not the baggy polyester stuff that everyone bought in discount stores. I am so glad I stored my Ralph Lauren trousers while awaiting its return. Enough of flat fronts, lowrise and bellbottoms! (Breathes sigh of relief.)

She looks alarmingly chic in the first shot.
Just gorgeous. There’s nothing like a strong leather belt.

The bottom picture is just breathtaking! I love how a single, well-chosen accessory truly embellishes an otherwise difficult to enliven ensemble.

I really love that her hemline ends below the knee. It’s a refreshing change from all the mini-skirts we’ve seen/

Oh no, not this time, it’s too much the late 80ties. Does anybody know this? To dislike deeply the fashion of the time when you were 17 years old? ;-)

Now this I love, both of them. Often the pictures are… a bit too trendy for me (I’m a mature woman) and as much as they may be interesting they are usually too young for me to wear.

This look is classic and I love it. You can wear it at any age and to me it just looks well put together. I don’t love the sleeves pushed up but thats often how close are worn,,, in a way that works for the wearer… their job, what they were doing prior.

Anyhow she is lovely.

ok…that belt in the second pic is AMAZING!!! and i luv the dress.

the first pic wasn’t as stunning as the first one…but those heels are to die for!

She does look elegant in the first picture. Is this a half-tucked sweater? If so, it works well here.

I would prefer a different colour scarf: perhaps burgundy, like the tassel.

I love it!

Hello sartorialstmate,

I think , both look are a good trial, but some details to improve.
Belts on both looks are a good point, scarves as well: even if I don’t agree with the thickness of the first look… I would rather wear flowing material kind of Falier Sarti’s mix cachemire silk.
She’s on the good way for her style.
I don’t like the tiny chain on the first look.But the association trouders and shoes is awesome.

Iam a bit perplex for the high boots on the 2nd look… It makes the silhouette heavy. A good option would be the YSL by Pilati’s low boots 3 inch heels.

Good luck Dearest, you got the style.. try hard

A bientôt

I love the trousers on the first pic… I’ve been looking for smt like that this whole autumn! Does anyone know where to find them? thanks thanks thanks

Love the scarves

And also dans L’Express Styles… Just Waou !

That blue/purple is delicious!

the dress in the second picture.. where is is from? anyone?

comfort and style! a killer mix.
please show more of her!

Great looks, Has Paris ever been unfashionable?

She looks like she could be Juliette Binoche’s sister, meaning fashion is irrelevant to such beauty. A simpler style would suit her better.

I prefer the second look, the first remembers me to my mother´s style in 90´s. sorry ;)
but the blue dress is really nice and easywear…

why why why all the girls in paris are not dressed a litle bit
like her ?

many time they wear nothing interesting.. franch womens don’t know how to dress them many times..

:(

kiss from Paris

I like her color combinacion. It’s mute and elegant.

B.E.L.T beautiful enchanting lovely thing.

Prefer it to be finished with ankle boots or round toe heels those feel to heavy for dress to me.

pretty pic ! :)

She looks very nice in that first picture.

Not a great fan of the top outfit, i hate to say it but… it’s quiet boring!

I love the second outfit thought, how the boldness and heaviness of the belt plays with the lightness of her playsuit.

Great photographs!

This woman is fabulous. I want to breathe the same air as her.

Looks like I’ve missed a lot of great looks lately.

very nice :)

Great Look, the colors and scarf ar really elegant

that belt is amazingggg! and i love love love navy blue.

She is gorgeous and has real grace, but I would tweak both of these looks.

The pegged trousers would have worked better with a flat ballet, and a closer fitting top. And those boots are the wrong choice given the weight of the fabric and the skirt length…better with black tights and a snug elegant ankle boot.

Wow…that belt is incredible!!

She is soooo chic. And yet, the first outfit bothers me… its the patns. I’m not loving the tapered leg, but it could be just the pose…

The second outfit is gorgeous – the rich hues of dress, belt and boots are so yummy.

The fit of the dress in the second photo is spectacular. It’s draped without looking roman – messy without being sloppy. I love it.

Classic! I love both outfits, especially the first one.

the color of her dress is beautiful and I love how the belt pops.

regarding the top photo,
Pleated, tapered, cuffed?
3 wrongs do not make a right.
Haven’t all the fashion gurus preached for the past 10 years against all of these things, and now that some designer as flaunted them down the runway, they are all the rage. they were unflattering a few years ago when they were out fashion and even now that they are back, does not make them any less unflattering.

Put together flawlessly. The contrast of the gold belt and the navy jumper. Perfect.

beautiful! I love both looks. she looks fantastic!

Top picture is beautiful. Nothing irritates in the outfit. it looks relaxed and in the same time very intelligent.

beautiful,chic ¡

Love it!

Gorgeous looks. Those grey pants are just amazing. They fit her so perfectly. Love the length and the fit right at her waist. Its so totally classy. She just looks like a lady. Her hair is perfect. Not fussy. Thats the thing about her. Everything about her is natural, uncomplicated and yet luxurious. Amazing style. Its four years later, and her style looks cutting edge.
