Gamine look

It’s the time to explore more in to the world of gamines.

Day time Gamine

The Look is neat, sweet and petite. You are vulnerable, girly and feminine in a playful way. The Gamine look depends on shape and colour rather than obvious labels.

Top

A white cotton top with a pretty collar is the backbone of the Gamines wardrobe, teaming it with a neat knitted cardigan or sweater will complete the look.

Skirts

Gamine clothes always have a little girly quality. Skirts are flared or A-Line, Never bottom hugging.

Necklines

Necklines are high and buttoned up. Somewhere between Madeleine and Minnie Mouse.

Dresses

An essential item in a gamine wardrobe is the cute tunic dress.  The skirt is flared and the hemline should be just above the knee.

Accessories

When the sun peeps out, enhance your fragile doll appearance with a huge round sunglasses, belts are delicate and slim.

Legs

Complete the Look with bare legs, opaque tights or over the knee socks.

Shoes

A gamine girl cannot skip to the park with pin thin heels, the perfect foot wear to complete the look is a pair of flat ballet pumps.

Night time gamine

The look is sexy yet in a sweet and innocent kind of way. It’s the time for a gamine to grow up. The look is delicate and girly, but the chick dressing invokes and air of mystery. The feminine charm is conveyed by the arms.

Dress

The little black dress or LBD is an important item in a Gamines wardrobe, it even has its own time saving acronym.

Coat

A cute coat which is made out of wool, flared and never longer than knee length.

Handbag

The handbag is always understated, small and complements the dress.

Jewellery

Small and simple, a pair of delicate earrings helps to make the head appear more prominent and your neck more slender and fragile. Tie the hair back to show them off.

Shoes

Avoid Flashy shoes.  The gamine always prefers a round toe, whether it is high or low.
