The Ultimate Guide to Dressing like a Character in Emily in Paris: Fairfield Edition
Emily Cooper is living out what most girls dream of in the hit Netflix series Emily in Paris. Emily moved to Paris to work for a luxury marketing firm for a year. Along the way she experiences love in the most romantic city, events that are undeniably amazing, and, of course, is influenced by some of the most renowned fashion trends in the world. Here is the ultimate guide on how to replicate Emily’s wardrobe.
Step 1: Don’t be afraid to mix fun colors and patterns
While it may seem scary at first, mixing bright colors and patterns can make a boring outfit pop. The best way to begin trying to incorporate different colors in your outfits is to use a color wheel. By using analogous colors (colors right next to each other) and complementary colors (colors across from each other), you can find ways to make certain garments stand out, while pairing them with shades that complement each other. Remember, playing it safe is boring! Find ways to mix it up, while still feeling comfortable and confident!
Step 2: Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!
If there is one thing you notice about the fashion in Emily in Paris, it's that Emily always accessorizes her outfits. Adding even the smallest accessories can elevate any outfit, no matter how simple it may be. While a beret hat may be a little bit over the top for your walk to class, a fun pair of sunglasses, jewelry, or bag could just as easily make your outfits that much more interesting and put together. Be creative with what you add to an outfit, and remember it's supposed to compliment your style: not completely overpower it!
Step 3: Blazers are your best friend
While this may not be your everyday going-to-class outfit, the blazer look is back and it's here to stay. A blazer can make a casual outfit look put together in seconds, whether you wear it with a sweatshirt and leather pants or spice it up with a skirt or dress, similarly to our beloved Emily. Not to mention the fact that blazers can easily blend into any season and are the perfect layer for brunch or dinner. What are you waiting for? Go buy one now!
Step 4: Make every outfit your own
Don’t get me wrong: Emily certainly had some wild outfits throughout the show. However, what makes them look so natural on her is the fact that she made them all her own. Don’t be afraid to use outfits as a form of expression. Add pieces that make you feel comfortable and confident, and remember that at the end of the day, the way you dress should make you feel good in your own skin. Now go out and conquer the world, Emily in Paris style!
