French women are held up as the epitome of style and elegance. Think of a Parisian and you’ll likely conjure an image of a put together woman who somehow also looks effortlessly chic.

While Schuman nor the commenter went into detail about why the rule exists (or how closely it’s followed) we can’t help but feel it makes a lot of sense.
