Major Style Inspiration: 60's French Throwback

“Choose one, Anna Karina or Brigitte Bardot?” might be one of the question we often throw to people in order to determine which style compass they aim towards. Both are French of course (in Karina’s case, Danish-French to be exact), they’re heavily involved in the French New Wave cinema movement (enchanting Godard’s films anyone?), and both are the epitome of the French girl aesthetic people go bananas for. Their legacy on effortless looks stood the test of time with present celebrities taking their style cues from the 60s icons, think Alexa Chung and Zooey Deschanel with their famous Anna Karina-inspired bangs or the Bardot’s signature bouffant and sultry cat eye we often see on Sienna Miller and Kate Moss on the red carpet.

Both represent different styles, where doe-eyed Anna Karina goes for the preppy-chic vibe, think quirky colors and prints that play a heavy influence, or Brigitte Bardot who shines with her free-spirited feel and pieces that flaunt her killer figure sophisticatedly. So with both serving as our style inspirations, here are some pieces we put on whether we’re feeling more like Anna or Brigitte at any day of the week.
