The Secrets to French Elegance
In this week’s Looking Good pages, we have an extract from Ageless Beauty by Clemence von Mueffling (Michael Joseph £14.99), in which three generations of Parisian women – grandmother, mother and daughter – share their beauty secrets for timeless elegance. If you’ve always longed to master French style, here are a few wardrobe suggestions to get your own touch of Parisian chic:
The Trench
Whether it’s worn casually over jeans or with a sharp pencil skirt and heels, it works for every season and instantly pulls your look together
