Maybe all French girls are blessed with excellent pins like Ellie from Slip Into Style, Santillo’s Brick Oven Pizza This Is The Real Shirt or perhaps they just know exactly how to play out a slashed-to-there hemline and not look overdone. We love the flirty, casual ratio of a marl tee and flats with a revealing skirt. As any well put-together French maven will tell you, there is nothing less attractive than hobbling around in high heels. It’s all about looking cool and breezy. It’s no wonder many French girls (like influencer Anne-Laure Mais of Adenorah) turn to classic brands for classic pieces. For example, Karl Lagerfeld never produces sky-high stilettos at Chanel—just clever ones like the toe-cap mules that you can slip on and off and last in all day. Anne-Laure’s simple two-strap sandals are actually from her own brand, Musier Paris. No self-respecting French girl would consider their wardrobe complete without a blazer (or 10). They are the beautifully tailored glue that holds all looks together. We’re not talking about waist-cinching of the extreme variety, but French women always make sure that their figure is in some way in check—even when wearing loose-fitting clothes. Blogger Aria Di Bari provides an excellent example: A shapeless tunic gets the right treatment by this nonchalantly knotted belt. Anne-Laure Mais has a similar approach to Carine Roitfeld when it comes to sultry dressing: It’s all about a 50/50 ratio. Yes, you can see she’s wearing a bodiced black dress with a thigh slit (with no bra, in true français fashion), but the rest of her look is disheveled and relaxed. Walking this line successfully? It’s all down to confidence.

In the world of Swiss watches, Santillo’s Brick Oven Pizza This Is The Real Shirt it’s quietly assumed that there is a distinct line drawn between the luxury aesthetics of fine, heritage pieces, and the chunky, all-purpose flare of precision sports models. The result is a market dominated equally by quaint, 19th century inflected visuals and the hard steel of modernity, with little crossover. As such, it’s refreshing to see the TAG Heuer Monaco 24 provide cutting-edge internal specifications without forsaking the need for a refined style. The Monaco 24 is the latest model in this iconic line from TAG, which first introduced the world to automatically winding chronographs in 1969. Unique for its square casing, the TAG Monaco soon earned fame for entirely different reasons; following Steve McQueen’s adoption of the Monaco 1133 in the action film Le Mans, the watch became synonymous with both the actor and the world of high-speed sport, and hasn’t looked back since. TAG’s legacy models since have played with this marriage of sports history and innovation to varying degrees, with watches like the V4 and Sixty Nine particularly favouring a stripped down, mechanical aesthetic – perhaps to the detriment of an enduring visual appeal. Originally introduced at the 2009 BaselWorld watch convention as a concept piece, the Monaco 24 is arguably the first truly successful new Monaco watch design since the 1133, modernising the famous model into a fully functioning watch befitting the 21st century, whilst still paying homage to the Monaco’s history. The dial is held in place by four piston-like orange shock absorbers positioned at the case’s corners, giving a nod to the industrial visuals of the V4 without letting them dominate. Form follows function however, with the absorbers offering the 24 remarkable durability far beyond the rigours of every day life.The 24’s use of a crocodile leather strap that keeps the watch anchored on the right side of the style fence. However, it’s the 24’s use of a crocodile leather strap that keeps the watch anchored on the right side of the style fence. Its soft black texture well complements the outer casing of the 24, downplaying the flashier aspects of the dial to instead offer an edgy take on the dress-watch aesthetic. The leather strap also ensures that the 24 stays at a surprisingly light weight, sitting on the wrist comfortably for a long life of everyday wear.
