Every time I do an FAQ on Instagram I always<\/em> get the question: where can I find affordable French style if I’m on a budget?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This question is definitely hard to respond to because as we all know French girl style<\/a> is associated with luxury which basically means high prices. Even though many designer French brands are out of reach for most people, there are definitely plenty of affordable French brands you can shop for cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I am a fan of the \u201cbuy less, shop well\u201d mentality and I prefer to spend a little bit more money on fewer, higher quality items than go the cheap route. That being said, I know that not everyone has the budget to do that (especially when you\u2019re young) so I will share with you some tips on finding affordable French style, cheap French brands and saving money while shopping!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, I always think it’s hard to find a good mid-range brand.\u00a0Most American and European Brands offer a really great design paired with a high price or terrible design at a low price.\u00a0Right now, Reformation<\/a> is one of the only brands offering mid-range prices and good design that you actually want to wear (and even they have gotten expensive).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affordable French Style Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s talk about a few ways that you can save money when shopping for French style clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join the Mailing List<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My first tip might be obvious to some, but I recommend that you join the mailing list of all brands you want to shop to get 10% off online purchases. Most brands offer a discount for new customers and it generally ranges from 10 to 15%. Scroll down the homepage and you can generally find the email opt-in box somewhere!\u00a0Other times it pops up right after visiting the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep a List<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I always have a running list of items that I’m looking to buy. I check retailers websites about once a week to see if those items are on sale or if there’s any coupon codes available. I have a folder of bookmarks on my web browser with links to all of the items at different retailers. I’ve also used websites like Lyst to keep track of these items. Lyst emails you whenever something goes on sale. It’s a good way to get a discount on something you really want! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find French Style Designs in the US<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can find many French style<\/a> clothing items in the USA. France is incredibly influential in terms of design and trends. Many American brands imitate French designs around a year after they are produced. You can find so many French influenced clothing, shoe and handbag designs if you look closely!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
