3 reasons why your new favourite jacket is blue and French

What is worn on the streets of Paris cannot be wrong per se. Like the dark blue "Worker Jackets". My recommendation for a chic spring.
My last flying visit to Paris didn't just benefit my pain au chocolat-loving palate. Of course, there was also plenty of fashion inspiration to soak up. If you trust the flair of the French - and I do blindly when it comes to style - one item is at the top of the must-have list this spring: the blue worker jacket.
It's called that because it was actually once worn by mechanics and railway workers as a smock to act as a protective shield against dirt and grease. Today, the lightweight jacket prefers to be stain-free. On wearers who only bend a finger to scroll their smartphone. Of course, this is not reprehensible, but is actually recommended for three reasons.
1. dark blue is the new black
Black always works, but is always a little unimaginative. In spring in particular, it can be a little more colourful - and dark blue is the perfect choice. Simple and easy to combine, you can throw the blue worker jacket over any look and will always look très chic.
2. denim jackets are for beginners
During the transitional jacket season, the denim jacket is a familiar choice. But also a predictable one. The casual, French alternative, on the other hand, gives you the famous "je ne sais quoi".
3. the accolade has already been given
And by none other than Bill Cunningham. The iconic fashion photographer (1929-2016) was not only known for his street-style shots, but also for his uniform, which was always the same: Nikon camera, light-coloured chinos, white shirt - blue worker jacket.
