5 Tips to Wearing Your Balmain Jeans Like a French Girl

Balmain, as a couture house, was founded in France during the teen years of the twenty century. Today, the brand reimagines their original Madam Jolie with all the glitz and glam that comes with an atelier heritage, but with the rebellious air of modern youth culture. Channeling 70s French rock n’ roll femmes, Balmain crafts their ready-to-wear with couture-like detail and takes denim to the next level.

Whether you are a fashion Francophile or just looking to pick up on Balmain’s rocker-chic vibes, here are our top tips for making these jeans Parisian-chic.

(Spending) More is More

Take it from the French and invest in designer digs for stylish pieces you can wear for decades. Not just high-street quality, these high-fashion jeans are stitched with lavish detail. Balmain takes these basics beyond your standard skinny jeans with embroidery and moto-inspired seams for jeans that will feel special for years to come.

…And Less is More too

The Parisian less-is-more attitude toward style is embodied by balancing subtle statement pieces and quality basics. Pair your Balmain pants with simple pieces, like a love-worn white tee and clean-cut Chelsea boots and let your jeans be the star of the show.

Borrow a Few Things From the Boys

Flat shoes are a French favorite. Slip into a loafer or a brogue to anchor your sexy skinny jeans. Top off your outfit with a double breasted blazer and bring it back to feminine with a red lipstick.

Count on the Classics

Trench coats, ballet flats and silk scarves, the French love a classic. For a coat that speaks to your rocker-chic jeans, throw on a leather moto jacket. Let your hair go au-natural for a laissez-fare hair do’ to match your rebellious outfit.

Do As Chanel Says…

…and remove one piece of jewellery before you leave.  Zipper pockets and metal appliques on your jeans read as jewelry, so follow Coco’s lead and keep your other accessories to a minimum.

Just jeans? Not when they’re Balmain. Channel your inner Françoise Hardy and give your Balmain jeans a little je ne sai quoi  when you style it like a true Parisian.

When it comes to Fashion, the French know best.
