Escape To The French Riviera

The French Riviera. Sigh! Known for being glamorous, it’s where the rich and famous take a holiday. Filled with yachts, fabulous resorts, and natural beauty, the French Riviera is a perfect place to vacation. And with the Cannes Film Festival coming up, you can be sure that celebs will be spotted in beachy looks! Luckily, you don’t have to be in France to take some style tips from the region. The classic style of the French Riviera is a combination of preppy stripes and comfortable beach attire, and completely possible to achieve with the right mix.

For a day in the sun, look like you are fresh from a trip to the Cote d’Azur with a classic red one-piece, a playful white cover up, a wide brimmed hat, and some large sunnies. For a daytime stroll, wear a striped maxi dress and some beige espadrilles for that effortless chic look. And for a night out, unleash your inner Parisian woman and take a risk by wearing a bright romper underneath a chic navy blazer, accessorize with some chunky jewelry and you are good to go! Of course, it always helps to accompany your French Riviera look with a nice tan and a relaxed attitude.
