What defines Euro Chic Fashion? European Chic style is quality and sophistication with fashion forward edginess. French clothing has a way of not apologizing for being stuck up. It's as though it takes on a life of it's own.

It's about paying attention to the quality and the details. You don't need a lot in your closet. What you do have however, is quality clothing and accessories.

European chic French clothing is not trendy. It's not about showing off the labels you wear, that would be euro trash to put it blunt.

It's a blend of edgy and classic and as the classic fashion style is you don't seem as though you have to try to look polished, it seems to be that you wake up in the morning this way.

* You wear classic pieces with an edge.

* You look polished and you pay attention to the details.

* You're not dictated to by trends, you create your own trend with style.

When I was a teenager, my girl friends had posters of pop teen idols. I had photos of Catherine Deneuve, Coco Chanel, Linda Evangelista and Iman, to name a few, all pulled from my issues of my Vogue Magazine subscriptions.
