If Looking Parisian Is Your Goal, Style Fall's Most "Boring" Basic Like Pamela Anderson Just Did
Minimalism at its finest.

While I tend to lean toward basics, there’s always that one unsung hero in my closet that I neglect every fall, a “boring” basic, if you will: the turtleneck. I know, it’s a fashion crime, but in my defense, I’m from the South, and getting acclimated to cooler weather is still an ongoing process. So, each fall, I feel stuck on what to wear. That is, until I saw Pamela Anderson’s recent Parisian-chic outfit.
Her look consisted of all-black basics, including cigarette pants, styled with a pair of pumps, accessorized with black sunglasses, and, of course, an elegant turtleneck. Sometimes, styling a boring basic in a simple way is the way to go when you want to look like a chic Parisian, and this look from Anderson proves it. If you want to look Parisian, keep scrolling to recreate Anderson's elegant turtleneck look and shop similar items.
