THE ‘WE’RE TOO SEXY FOR OUR SHIRTS’

“DOES IT COME IN BLACK?”

LED BY Ex-French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld and model Julia Restoin Roitfeld HOW TO SPOT THEM Via their shirts. Which they always wear too sexily. Though not in a Right Said Fred way. The WTSFOS clan prefers a silky shirt, ideally worn tucked into a pencil skirt and undone by one button too many, enabling just a flash of bra to be glimpsed. Their jewellery is discreet – a crucifix, a gossamer-thin bracelet, diamond studs – and so, too, is their make-up, bar their eyes, which are always underlined in kohl, even at 9am. Paris is their stomping ground: the city spawns WTSFOSs at an indecent rate, each one possessed of an innately languorous confidence that makes all those in close proximity feel overdressed/ underdressed/just generally rubbish. How do they pull off unbrushed hair? How can they walk that far in three-inch stilettos? Why isn’t there even a smattering of dandruff on the shoulders of their black velvet Saint Laurent jackets? C’est un mystère. WHERE TO FIND THEM Drinking espresso at pavement cafés, studiously avoiding carbs. SHOPS Saint Laurent for leather, Tom Ford for evening, The Kooples for blazers, Uniqlo (for whom Carine Roitfeld designed a collection) for trousers, Equipment for shirts, Muji for T-shirts, Wolford for fishnets, Topshop for jeans. MOST LIKELY TO SAY ‘Does it come in black?’ LEAST LIKELY TO SAY ‘I’ll have a venti mocha frappuccino with extra cream.’ ➤
