The 3 Colour Rule In French Chic Style - Better Style Made Easy

The 3 colour rule is a fundamental principle in authentic French Chic Style. I tell you what it is, why it is so important and how to apply it in everyday style situations. A little known fact - until I mentioned it in my Amazon #1 Best Seller 'How To Be Chic & Elegant' no one had heard of the 3 Colour Rule!

There will also be an offer on my extremely popular Wear Colours Like A French Woman course - the 7 colours of French Chic and over 118 style boards to help you create chic outfits time and time again. The coupon code to be given in the livestream will only be available for 48 hours from the date of the livestream.

I had a doctor's appointment recently and the female physician attending me complimented the trench coat I was wearing. This made my day because I wasn't there under the best circumstances and still went out of my way to look presentable. Something that only happened because of your advice. I was previously stuck in a very long rut of thinking along these lines: "It's only clothes"; "what does it matter at this stage"; "I'm not going anywhere special" etc. Due to lifestyle changes, I simply stopped wearing my "good clothes." The upside to this is that when I do wear something nice, it's in great condition because it's well preserved so maybe that deserves some credit? 😀 The trench I wore that day was older than my son and navy blue, by the way. I just wanted you to know that I felt like the universe was trying to tell me something because the doctor specifically used the word "chic." Now I'm convinced I should continue to "shop my closet" and keep taking better care of my appearance and my health. Thanks for all you do to remind us to "wear the clothes we love and love the clothes we wear" unapologetically -- regardless of age.

While I taught art in my younger years I always taught the rule of 3. Three colors(color families), placement of 3 in the composition and the use of triangles. We examined famous paintings and sculptures to discover the rule of 3. The students were amazed how well it worked.

Navy blue is very classy for every lassie.

Happy colours.

I love the 3 color rule… just traveled for 9 days in Japan with a small carry on bag (which included my minimal makeup!). Jeans, black slacks, and blue, white and black t shirts. 1 blue sweater and black loafers and blue sneakers. So easy to dress each day! (Oops… forgot to mention one long sleeved oversized shirt… cream with dark blue accents)

Cynthia here from Houston, TX. I love the 3 color rule. We are traveling to England, Scotland and Ireland. I don’t want to bring more than 1 full sized suitcases for a 3 week trip. This makes it easier.

Style is journey, that was beautifully stated Marie-Anne. Thank you for your advice ❤

As a US Army Retiree spouse, I never had to clean out closets because we were always moving. Now it is time, too much has accumulated and I am taking out whatever does not fit, what does not suit elevated style, what is not one of my best colors. Marie-Anne, I hear your voice as I am emptying hangers, Non, Non, Non! Occasionally there is a Wow. Thank you!

Hello Marie-Anne,
I have heard of the three color rule …….from you. I was shopping recently, looking at a questionable garment and I heard a very clear French “Noh” in my head……if it is not a wow, it is a “Noh”. This happens a lot now when I shop…..😂Thank you.

Madame, I truly appreciate your good fashion advice. I went through my wardrobe and discovered dozens and dozens of appropriate 3 colour match possibilities. Donc je n'ai besoin de rien de plus. Merci beaucoup!

[janmcdonnal]

Thank you for another lovely video, Marie-Anne! I've followed the 3 Color Rule for many years and it never fails. :-) Camel is one of my go-to colors all year long because it pairs so nicely with black or white and always looks elegant. On a completely different note - I am super excited because I just signed up to take beginning French lessons! Can't wait to get started!

I grew up in England but always liked the French style. Now in my seventies I love wearing just two or three colors. I totally agree with you. Wonderful video. Thank you.
