8 MARCH 2013 | STYLE

In homage to Paris Fashion week, a favourite haunt of Kotur’s and highlight of our season in so many ways, this week’s Three ways to Wear focuses on working a bit of French chic. Be they working some serious high fashion or a boyfriend style tee, the latest runway look or a timeless classic, be they prim and polished or perfectly dishevelled, there’s something about the way these ladies dress that oozes chic every time.

Click through the gallery above of three of our favourite french fashion icons for some handy hints on how to work their looks (clothing details below.)

Carine Roitfeld – The ultimate French Editrix is a master at a sophisticated take on sexy. With a style DNA that relies heavily on pencil skirts, silk blouses and many a statement shoe, hers is a proven look that works a winner every time. (Smokey eyes a must.)    (Picture from thesartorialist.com)
