in justine's video we answer the question: how much makeup is ok to wear in sweden / france !? go watch that video here : ruclips.net/video/EPLlr7xU4ys/видео.html oooh and how much makeup is ok to wear in YOUR country ? love // jenny
After traveling the world I only see Swedish and scandanavian girls wearing sweatpants or pajamas everywhere. French girls almost always dress eloquently.
Justine's style is very old school in France, it does not represent how young people dress, here the people that dress like her are 40 and + not that it's bad but just for an older audience
I love this collaboration, but as a daughter of a Swedish banker I have to say that we do have fields of work where it's a must to wear a suit, all day every day and no casual Fridays 😅
living in finland, men definitely wear suits at very formal work places, like banks etc. also wearing shorts for work seems impossible in any environment..
ann that sounds nice, I think it gives a more respectful hint of a company actually. I mean...a boss in shorts? Whats wrong with being nicely dressed on work and relaxed AFTER work :) go finland!
bubble bubbly id love to know where people are allowed to wear shorts. i dont think id have a problem with it but ive just never seen it so it seems really weird haha.
Privat it is not, even tho many people associate finland to be part of scandinavia in these topics, especially people who arent from the nordic countries/europe. and other countries have shared their view on the topic as well so might as well throw finland in there as well.
Yeah, I worked for Danish company and I never saw any manager wearing anything other than a suit :D Not full suit every single day, sometimes they'd wear jeans and a blazer but that's still way more formal than shorts.
I'm from Paris and I think it really depends on the work environment as well a personal style. I worked in a few biology labs and everyone dressed however they wanted, most of us were in jeans and sneakers.
I wouldn’t call it scandinavian, because there are differences. In Norway you will find pretty formal offices or companies, so you will see men and women in suits quite frequently and more so in bigger cities 🙂
Trust me, it's not the same. Norwegians are the most chill when it comes to dress codes and office wear. Well I supposed we could debate with scandinavian country is the most chill, but seriously, if you see someone on the street in a suit in Norway, chances are high that it's a visiting Morman missionary.
@MissCaraMint; I guess you don't live in Oslo huh? :P I see people in suits all the time, though they are often dressed down (ie unbuttoned jacket and top button of shirt, sometimes no tie)
I bet she was making some start up IT office as it example. Yes that style works there. Basically as long as you cover ur essentials, you can get away with anything. Most of the places do not allow it tho.
It's like that in Swenden as well, Ronniechops. Of course it is. I'm starting to wonder where Jenny Mustard spends her time when she's in Stockholm, because of course there are men in the streats in suits.
I like the idea of this video, but I think the title should’ve been “France style vs Swedish style” cause if you take a look at Stockholm and Copenhagen, the style is very different.
Justine you must know that the french style you are describing is only representative of a veeeeeeeery small part of the french population. Most of us don't really care about the 2 color max rule, or have heirloom jewellery from their ancestors. The people you are describing are the "upper crust" of the PARISIAN population, and older women. Young women are just like everybody else in europe, shopping at h&m for poor quality clothes and following trends. Maybe some decades ago there was a particular "french style" but now fast fashion and internet has made it obsolete. I know you are a stylist so you are mythologizing the "french style", but please be honest with people. French style may exist but it is not the regular people style.
I disagree, I think I see a lot of middle class women everyday who wear jewelry pieces that look pretty clearly heirloom. It's true though that too many people don't think of the two color rule. I blame Desigual - dommage.
@@perduelelol8244 i think sandals and socks its a common rule even if there is always people who really don't care about trends XD and also french woman tend to avoid too many colors, specially bright colors. We also wear a lot of black. But i'm agree her desciption is really too rich-fashionista-parisian-girl XD
Justine, everything you say is so true, I'm french too and most of those cultural things like light make up, the pair of ballerina, the fitted blazer (I have since for ever), the heels (I was recently in Poland and I live in London, there the women are ultra feminine like knee high boots, mini skirts and dresses, super long hair and mostly skinny!), even all the things in my purse is exactly like you said (it's like a survival kit). I recently enjoy mixing it with british edgy fashion because I think it's more fun but tone in down when I go back home in Nantes! Great series!!
My heart almost stopped when I saw two my favourite RUclipsrs in the same thumbnail !! ❤ Thank you Jenny and Justine, great video! I'm a huge fan of both of you! With love Sanna from Finland
That's so true, it pains me. XD Always practical. I've also noticed that German women rarely go out with bags; most of them have (stylish) backpacks. I lived for a couple of months in Berlin, and that's what I saw. In general, I fear to say this, but it's the truth: Germans don't care about style much. Non-native Germans, though, pay a lot more attention to how they look. :3
that's true for czech republic, too... people would even wear a suit or an evening dress with a sportswear jacket (sold for skiing) :D also, everyone wears trekking shoes just to walk around a city or to work :D
Jogha Ella A lot of Berlin girls wear that Scandi brand backpack in the last 5-7 years.. it fits with the hipster crowd, that has been growing in Berlin in the last decade
In the US, the workplace dress is bit more formal where there are 4 seasons than in the warmer climate such as the south or western part of the country. Also your industry dictates the level of style and formality. Retail is certainly casual but can be edgy depending on personal style, whereas finance is formal and probably mkre classic
I've lived in both Sweden and Paris for several years (and I am German) and these things you mentioned are really generalized. In the end, everyone everywhere is an individual and decides for themselves what to wear. Of course, there is a difference as to what people feel comfortable with but I think especially for what Justine said, most people here in Paris also throw things on in the morning because they need to wear something. This is a really "white-people-elite-french" way of dressing that Justine described and it is not at all okay to leave out what people really wear in France, because essentially France is not just french fashion, but it is African, Arab, European. It isn't just chic and classic, but there is a lot of hip-hop culture, bohemian looks, there is also a lot of poverty in Paris, because France is one of the developed, rich countries with the highest unemployment rate. Basically, I have never seen someone dressing like Justine, although I am at a good and "formal" university where some people even come to class with blazers. Often people wear high heels but SO many people love sneakers here, there are bright colors in the African dresses and there are women with a lot of makeup. But then again, people sometimes wear makeup, sometimes they don't. One must not generalize and one shouldn't through out these rules of fashion to people because they will think this is the reality. It's not. just be yourself and never let anyone tell you that a nation has a specific way of doing fashion. people in France look like Jenny and people in Sweden look like Justine sometimes. And in Germany, there is both styles as well. Because it's not about where you're from but about who you are as an individual.
@Iranier1 That's true, I respect their opinion of the fashion world. But that's not what they're saying. If they want to give an expert opinion on the fashion industry, they're much much educated than me. That is why I watch and enjoy Jenny's videos. But this video is not about the fashion world but about "French/ Scandinavian style" which refers to everyday outfits and then, in this video, they should not use generalizing formulation, because the general population does is not reflected by the things mentioned in the video. All I am saying is, this "french style" that Justine describes reflects a VERY VERY small percentage of French women and there are so many more "French styles" that should be at least mentioned.
Thank you for sharing! I agree. I think they spoke more of whats on trend because they're always on the update. I do feel they should have also mentioned other styles...or collaborate with someone else who wears a different style.
what you're saying is 100% true, but we must not confuse the general fashion "rules" of a nation with what people actually wear in their everyday life. i live in italy, and even if I hate the current fashion trends and I don't follow them, I still have an idea of the "average italian" 's look. I think it's about what's more popular, not what you dress like every single day of your life. I have friends who, just like me, wear whatever they want whenever they want it. I also have really stylish friends who sometimes go around in an anonymous jumpsuit and no makeup if they feel like it (or need to). and sandals with socks, for example, is something no one would wear anyway, even tho I'm pretty sure there _is_ someone who does that. just like you see people with hip hop, street, classy, sporty etc style because of course there are. But I do also understand that if I'm able to keep in mind all of this while watching this video, a lot of people will just assume that's how everyone dresses like, so... how do you escape this circle?
I like to dress casually for work too, that's totally okay in the Netherlands in most offices. And then add the personal touch with makeup, accessories etc. I feel most like myself then. Love, Vera from Simple Happy Zen
Simple Happy Zen | I’m Dutch too, but I do not work in a casual environment at all (law firm). This is the standard at banks and investment firms etc. By the way, I visit our Swedish (Stockholm) office regularly as well, and they are all in full suits there too. I think it depends more on the industry than the country.
Then you never walked long enough in sandals in hot weather. Because if you do your feet get extremly sweaty especialy if the sandals are of synthetic materials and if often chafes the skin. Because socks in sandals are considered so horrorable lot's of people wear sneakers but if you have very hot temperatures the feet will will also sweat. There is a reason why so many people suffer athletes feet/foot fungus.
I am a south american girl living in Germany. I do not get it either. The whole Point of sandals is that your feet are free and can breathe. We wear sandals all day long, by 30C and don't have this problem. If your sandals are hurting your skin, they are probably bad quality PU or just the wrong fit for you. This is the reason why I only buy leather. Socks and sandals is a huge No-go! Only people >60 wear them in Germany.
For people with sweaty feet i think, like me. Im just the type to slip when ive sat too long coz my feet has gone really sweaty :( the same goes when i wear sandals my feet kinda slip (inside the sandal) while walking so it makes for an awkward way of walking hahaha
This was a lot of fun! I am a subscriber of Justine and glad to “meet” you as well. (: I am Swedish but live in the United States and don’t carry many of those fashion senses with me here but it was fun to learn about.
The French workplace is way too uptight when it comes to the outfit. Unless you work in the start-up environment, you need to wear uncomfortable clothes to go to work. Scandinavian style all the way.
It depends more on the industry you're in than the country. My swedish parents wear formal attire both on and off work, and this is normal where we live. So I don't agree with the girl in the video that her way necessarily is the "scandinavian way".
Ron But it's wrong! I'm french and I can assure you it depends where you're working! She's describing the cliché bobo Parisian way of style here! But in reality, we're more casual than classy ^^' You can see it in the streets! 80% of French people are wearing t-shirt/jeans/sneakers every day at work, about 15% are wearing chino pants or skirts or dresses with rather heels or derbies, something preppy but not too formal, and only 5% are going to work dressed in a suit! If you're working in the finances or in something where you need to be uptight then yes you have to look formal and classic!
Very nice videos, thank you both! And I wish I had known the answer to 'What do you wear for work' in France 5 years ago :D I lived in Paris and on the 3rd day of my internship I went with dark blue jeans and a blazer, but my tutor pulled me aside and explained that I should never do that again. I was so embarrassed, but that was a lesson learned for me :) I think I like the Scandinavian attitude more on that point.
How interesting, I am happy to see this video. I have to say that I'm glad I'm in America because experimentation is a wonderful part of our culture. Being that you could dress Scandinavian, you could dress minimalist, classic, tomboy, girly, French style is popular right now. You can also wear lots of denim. Nothing will stand out especially in the cosmopolitan cities. Everyone is doing different things, less cohesion than a variety of culture and style. I enjoy that aspect of the States.
I’ve been wanting you two to get together for ages! And I LOVE the results even more than I anticipated. Found out I’m definitely a Scandinavian girl at heart. Thanks for this AWESOME collaboration!! Hope you and Justine do more together in the future.
As an Australian middle age woman both styles resonate however I think the Scandinavian style suits just a little more to my lifestyle as it seems not so uptight for the laid back Aussie "middle age" genre. Really good u-tubing from both sides.. Appreciate the effort of both women and opinions and can wholly value the look and style of both region's which is purely an aesthetically styled version turned to each woman inddivudally, no matter what country they are born or assigned with. :) Thank-you lovely ladies for a wonderful insight.
OMG! I love both of you (I have to admit, I haven't been watching for a while, so I didn't know you 2 were friends). This was such a fun surprise! I literally giggled.
Loved this two-part vid you both did together. I think I am a scandi girl at heart, I love the fashion, hygge lifestyle, the artful details in home design. Here, in the pacific northwest, USA, there is a lot of scandi influence in shops, homes, businesses.
Hi Jenny- I came here from Justine's channel and I am happy to find you- subscribed! I have family in Iceland (I have been there 8 times) and also in Paris (never been there) but I am not Icelandic or French, so this was very interesting to me. I always wear flats- clothes always casual, mostly classic- colours are black, white, natural colour linen. I wear my hair 'classic French' (bangs, shoulder-grazing and not really styled, but I also use your bun style. I live in Washington state, USA.
Fascinating. Here in Ireland I think we would all have been brought up for years on the more French way of dressing not realising it was particuarly French. I never realised how strong these unspoken 'laws' were until Justine spoke of them. They feel intrinsically 'right' to me. Though I really like the Scandi edgy, casual and cool look I don't think i could pull it off.
Idk how it is in Sweden, but in Denmark, I rarely see anyone with lipstick and there is really no reason to wear sunglasses for most of the year. We only get around 3 weeks of actual summer, so... As a fellow Scandinavian woman, a thing that I would never leave the house without, besides my wallet, keys etc. would be a really moisturizing chapstick. It gets really cold here, even in the summer so your lips can easily get dry and crackly.
What a great video. My style is definitely more French. Listening to her description of the typical French style reminds me of my mom's tips. We are Chilean though, but raised in NY.
Don't know about beige but stayed in Norway for a month with family. Black seems to be most outstanding colour followed by blue. But it's black mostly.
Yes in Switzerland too the light is softer . It is so different from the US SUCH a nice point . -- when the light is not soft you were dark colors like in Thailand , Bangladesh
I am now over here re answering these questions but from New Zealand 1. What do you wear for work? Now most offices have a uniform, pencil skirt or suit pants, shirt, blazer in company colours and a small logo somewhere. Simple. If you choose, probably the same but in black, or you wear your little black dress. Heels are common in offices. Many kiwis work manual jobs so farms is short shorts (stubbies), swazie singlet, swanndri jacket in red/black or blue/black checks and complete the look with a bucket hat and gumboots. Everywhere else really has uniforms or you end up in a high-vis suit. 2. New Zealand style in 3 words: Practical. Casual. American. We don't take things seriously here and everything's quite laid back, wear what feels good. But we follow American trends mostly. 3. What would a kiwi never be caught dead in? In a country where men wear shorts shorter than women, most things go. What would we never wear? Anything too formal without reason, dressing up here without an event to go to is weird. We do wear nice clothes but it's kept casual for dinner and such. No one owns an evening gown, it's just that little black dress, again. On the fur matter, you get A LOT of possum fur here. Possums are a huge pest and have to be killed to protect native birds. So to make use of all the animals that have to be killed we use their fur for all sorts. Normally its woven with wool to make it softer and warmer but sometimes the animal is skinned and used to make a jacket or line gloves. It's super expensive because you don't get much fur from one animal and they're hard to catch. We also have a lot of sheep and cow skins, not to waste the skin of dairy or wool farm animals when they reach the end of their life. 4. colour scheme: Anything goes, but neutrals are normally the go to, there's really no rules on what you can and cant mix here. Right now yellows, oranges, browns and reds are popular. 5. What would a kiwi never leave the house without? A jersey or jacket since the weather changes at any given moment, maybe not in summer. But in summer definitely a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are a must! CFCs have destroyed the ozone pretty bad along with other causes, the burn time here in NZ is 7-10 minutes. There's 67,000 new cases of skin cancer here a year, compared to a total of 16 000 for all other types of cancer. We only have 4.5 million people. Slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a hat and wrap on some sunglasses
In Canada, I'm a uni student and I wear a blazer with dark pants and rain boots (because Vancouver), but I have class mates that wear slippers and sweat pants, so in this community it's up to you. In terms of work, I would say it depends where you work, everything from shorts and a tshirt to a full suit.
Thank you fordoing this video, it was very interesting. I come from an area of the United States that has a lot of descendants of Scandinavian immigrants, people who immigrated in the 1800's. The style is very conservative and sometimes, outdated. It is interesting to hear that the Swedish women dress in very modern and trendy styles.
I would like to point out that in Sweden depends on what kind of company/job. I’ve had a job where skirt and tailored jacket or good classic pants and jacket (Tiger of Sweden or Boss) or a dress.. it depends on where you work.
Interesting. I love the cultural flavors and differences. What a fun video! Thank you both. I live in the Pacific North west of US, Oregon and we wear socks and sandals. There is a huge variety of styles, from polished to grunge. Work is mostly career casual.
I'm from Finland but I spend quite a bit of time in Sweden and have a bunch of friends there, and while I'm sure we're generally a bit more casual than the French, you most definitely see suits in the street. Bankers, lawyers and businessmen and -women will wear formal clothing to work. I study international law at uni and while I wear yoga pants to campus, a lot of business students dress pretty formally even to class.
Seriously love this! Getting to know about your both cultures is very interesting! I know some of French but know very less about Sweden! and I was shock that you wear casual to work every day!
Having had both French and Swedish girlfriends, when younger, my impression is that you can't really generalize about French or Swedish women . . . although it is much easier to get to know a French woman, if she really cares for you. My Swedish girlfriend was a law student at Lund University and President of the college division of the Center Party. She might dress conservatively at the university, but loved to go topless, when we were hiking or biking in the country. My French girlfriend was a millionaire from being an actress and singer. I lived on a farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley at the time. The moment she fell in love with me, she ceased buying expensive fashions and thoroughly enjoyed dressing like a peasant girl or hippie in rural Champaign-Argonne.
This topic was so spot on for me. I am from Central Europe but have moved to Norway years ago and am constantly split between what to take from the Scandinavian style and what to take from French/European style. I find that a great issue with the Scandinavian style is being oblivious to body shapes. Mostly because a lot of nordic women have a build that allows them to break the rules (tall and slender). However for me - an inverted triangle petite - the boxy Scandinavian clothes are a recipe for disaster. Whenever I try a winter coat made for Norwegian women I just want to rip it off me cause of how unflattering it is. At the same time though I love how sensible women here are and have added a looot of sneakers and dropped high heels almost entirely. Better for your legs long term and infinitely more comfortable. High heels are just not worth the pain for me anymore. It would be cool to hear from others or from Justine and Jenny what they think might be best of both worlds. I always wonder how the few scandinavian women who are petites deal with the clothing style.

Alva F | Exactly. I’m a lawyer from Amsterdam, but I’ve been to the Stockholm office as well. In corporate environments, people all wear suits.
My lawyer friend doesn't wear suits 😅
wow and now you broke my dreams of everyone running around in shorts and sandals in bank offices in Swed, lol :)
Of course they wear formal clothing at a bank. Even in the most relaxed countries people look formal when working as a banker. 😩
Definitely! In some fields a suit is a must. Lawyers, bankers etc. She's too young to be aware of that.
People do wear suits in Sweden, but only in certain fields such as law, business, and sometimes government.
She lives in Berlin, so she doesn't know what is going on in Sweden.
living in finland, men definitely wear suits at very formal work places, like banks etc. also wearing shorts for work seems impossible in any environment..

It's not. just be yourself and never let anyone tell you that a nation has a specific way of doing fashion. people in France look like Jenny and people in Sweden look like Justine sometimes. And in Germany, there is both styles as well. Because it's not about where you're from but about who you are as an individual.
Luisa el Berr Indeed. Spot on. I agree. Thank you for this intelligent opinion. Greetings from Finland /Kiki.
@Iranier1 That's true, I respect their opinion of the fashion world. But that's not what they're saying. If they want to give an expert opinion on the fashion industry, they're much much educated than me. That is why I watch and enjoy Jenny's videos. But this video is not about the fashion world but about "French/ Scandinavian style" which refers to everyday outfits and then, in this video, they should not use generalizing formulation, because the general population does is not reflected by the things mentioned in the video. All I am saying is, this "french style" that Justine describes reflects a VERY VERY small percentage of French women and there are so many more "French styles" that should be at least mentioned.
@Kirsi Väärä Thanks! I love the Finish brand Marimekko, by the way!
Thank you for sharing! I agree. I think they spoke more of whats on trend because they're always on the update. I do feel they should have also mentioned other styles...or collaborate with someone else who wears a different style.
what you're saying is 100% true, but we must not confuse the general fashion "rules" of a nation with what people actually wear in their everyday life. i live in italy, and even if I hate the current fashion trends and I don't follow them, I still have an idea of the "average italian" 's look. I think it's about what's more popular, not what you dress like every single day of your life. I have friends who, just like me, wear whatever they want whenever they want it. I also have really stylish friends who sometimes go around in an anonymous jumpsuit and no makeup if they feel like it (or need to). and sandals with socks, for example, is something no one would wear anyway, even tho I'm pretty sure there _is_ someone who does that. just like you see people with hip hop, street, classy, sporty etc style because of course there are. But I do also understand that if I'm able to keep in mind all of this while watching this video, a lot of people will just assume that's how everyone dresses like, so... how do you escape this circle?
So fantastic to see my two favorite women having such a fun conversation. Fun to highlight our differences as much as the similarities!
My two favourite youtubers with authentic beautiful personalities together!
SO SO happy to see you together girls ! Will you go for some more videos together maybe ? It's so interesting !
I like to dress casually for work too, that's totally okay in the Netherlands in most offices. And then add the personal touch with makeup, accessories etc. I feel most like myself then. Love, Vera from Simple Happy Zen
sounds very scandi, vera :)
Simple Happy Zen | I’m Dutch too, but I do not work in a casual environment at all (law firm). This is the standard at banks and investment firms etc. By the way, I visit our Swedish (Stockholm) office regularly as well, and they are all in full suits there too. I think it depends more on the industry than the country.
I have a Dutch mum in law. Went to visit her family too. I found the Dutch very laidback to a fault which to me was very refreshing.
I love seeing you two together talking about varying cultures and styles
NO WAYYY! you two have been some of my favourite youtubers since forever, I never thought you'd collaborate! Hell yes!!!
The collab we've all been waiting for!!
What! Two of my fave YT-personalities collaborate? My sunday's been blessed! :)
same)))
happy Sunday! :-)
yay :)
Same for me, too. Thanks, ladies!
me too!
Socks in sandals is the one thing i would never ever understand
Then you never walked long enough in sandals in hot weather. Because if you do your feet get extremly sweaty especialy if the sandals are of synthetic materials and if often chafes the skin. Because socks in sandals are considered so horrorable lot's of people wear sneakers but if you have very hot temperatures the feet will will also sweat. There is a reason why so many people suffer athletes feet/foot fungus.
I am a south american girl living in Germany. I do not get it either. The whole Point of sandals is that your feet are free and can breathe. We wear sandals all day long, by 30C and don't have this problem. If your sandals are hurting your skin, they are probably bad quality PU or just the wrong fit for you. This is the reason why I only buy leather. Socks and sandals is a huge No-go! Only people >60 wear them in Germany.
lepeypylapa totally agree with you!
And it's still trending like why would you- and is even worse now
For people with sweaty feet i think, like me. Im just the type to slip when ive sat too long coz my feet has gone really sweaty :( the same goes when i wear sandals my feet kinda slip (inside the sandal) while walking so it makes for an awkward way of walking hahaha
And now I have decided I like the work dress code for Sweden!
Love this! I’m more French in style. I prefer classic and understated to trendy. Great to learn about Scandinavian fashion.
This was a lot of fun! I am a subscriber of Justine and glad to “meet” you as well. (: I am Swedish but live in the United States and don’t carry many of those fashion senses with me here but it was fun to learn about.
i want to know where Jenny got her faces t-shirt, i'm so in love with it
The French workplace is way too uptight when it comes to the outfit. Unless you work in the start-up environment, you need to wear uncomfortable clothes to go to work. Scandinavian style all the way.
It depends more on the industry you're in than the country. My swedish parents wear formal attire both on and off work, and this is normal where we live. So I don't agree with the girl in the video that her way necessarily is the "scandinavian way".
Ron But it's wrong! I'm french and I can assure you it depends where you're working! She's describing the cliché bobo Parisian way of style here! But in reality, we're more casual than classy ^^' You can see it in the streets! 80% of French people are wearing t-shirt/jeans/sneakers every day at work, about 15% are wearing chino pants or skirts or dresses with rather heels or derbies, something preppy but not too formal, and only 5% are going to work dressed in a suit! If you're working in the finances or in something where you need to be uptight then yes you have to look formal and classic!
So fun to see two of my fav youtubers together!! Thank you!!
Very nice videos, thank you both! And I wish I had known the answer to 'What do you wear for work' in France 5 years ago :D I lived in Paris and on the 3rd day of my internship I went with dark blue jeans and a blazer, but my tutor pulled me aside and explained that I should never do that again. I was so embarrassed, but that was a lesson learned for me :) I think I like the Scandinavian attitude more on that point.
How interesting, I am happy to see this video. I have to say that I'm glad I'm in America because experimentation is a wonderful part of our culture. Being that you could dress Scandinavian, you could dress minimalist, classic, tomboy, girly, French style is popular right now. You can also wear lots of denim. Nothing will stand out especially in the cosmopolitan cities. Everyone is doing different things, less cohesion than a variety of culture and style. I enjoy that aspect of the States.
Two excellent videos! I really enjoyed. Can’t believe my two favorites got together!! Love it!
Love it. I'm a subscriber of both channels and I'm thrilled to see this series of collaboration/comparison videos.
Loved these two videos! 5 questions on each channel..so fun
Great collab, great topic, love you both! Thank you for doing this. Terribly enjoyable.
Love this video
And Sweden seems so cool about they dress code I love that even more
I’ve been wanting you two to get together for ages! And I LOVE the results even more than I anticipated. Found out I’m definitely a Scandinavian girl at heart. Thanks for this AWESOME collaboration!! Hope you and Justine do more together in the future.
As an Australian middle age woman both styles resonate however I think the Scandinavian style suits just a little more to my lifestyle as it seems not so uptight for the laid back Aussie "middle age" genre. Really good u-tubing from both sides.. Appreciate the effort of both women and opinions and can wholly value the look and style of both region's which is purely an aesthetically styled version turned to each woman inddivudally, no matter what country they are born or assigned with. :) Thank-you lovely ladies for a wonderful insight.
OMG! I love both of you (I have to admit, I haven't been watching for a while, so I didn't know you 2 were friends). This was such a fun surprise! I literally giggled.
Yeayyyy! So surreal to see you togheter!
Loved this two-part vid you both did together. I think I am a scandi girl at heart, I love the fashion, hygge lifestyle, the artful details in home design. Here, in the pacific northwest, USA, there is a lot of scandi influence in shops, homes, businesses.
Hi Jenny- I came here from Justine's channel and I am happy to find you- subscribed! I have family in Iceland (I have been there 8 times) and also in Paris (never been there) but I am not Icelandic or French, so this was very interesting to me. I always wear flats- clothes always casual, mostly classic- colours are black, white, natural colour linen. I wear my hair 'classic French' (bangs, shoulder-grazing and not really styled, but I also use your bun style. I live in Washington state, USA.
Fascinating. Here in Ireland I think we would all have been brought up for years on the more French way of dressing not realising it was particuarly French. I never realised how strong these unspoken 'laws' were until Justine spoke of them. They feel intrinsically 'right' to me. Though I really like the Scandi edgy, casual and cool look I don't think i could pull it off.
Screw Ireland
Two of my favorite RUclipsrs! So cool that you did a collaboration! Would love to hear more conversations with you both.
Idk how it is in Sweden, but in Denmark, I rarely see anyone with lipstick and there is really no reason to wear sunglasses for most of the year. We only get around 3 weeks of actual summer, so...
As a fellow Scandinavian woman, a thing that I would never leave the house without, besides my wallet, keys etc. would be a really moisturizing chapstick. It gets really cold here, even in the summer so your lips can easily get dry and crackly.
Omg, my two favourite ladies of youtube in one video!
What a great video. My style is definitely more French. Listening to her description of the typical French style reminds me of my mom's tips. We are Chilean though, but raised in NY.
I have been watching both of your channel and I looove that you did a video together ❤️
Super fun collab I love both channels so this made my morning!
french don't wear this kind of shoes to go at work it's impossible! as a parisian girl believe me, and i don't recommend it at all
She works in fashion...
Anna Rehbinder | but espadrilles at the office? In Paris?
What do you wear at work?
@@katyh.2501 Dark closed toe shoes or heels
You both are so educated in your criteria. You each do not hesitate on your answers :)
I never knew I needed this in my life,please make this a series xoxo
Don't know about beige but stayed in Norway for a month with family. Black seems to be most outstanding colour followed by blue. But it's black mostly.
Awww!! You are two of my favorite people on RUclips! Love this!
Came here for part 2 !!! Wooohooo here to stay on your channel Scandinavia
Yes in Switzerland too the light is softer . It is so different from the US
SUCH a nice point . -- when the light is not soft you were dark colors like in Thailand , Bangladesh
I am now over here re answering these questions but from New Zealand
1. What do you wear for work? Now most offices have a uniform, pencil skirt or suit pants, shirt, blazer in company colours and a small logo somewhere. Simple. If you choose, probably the same but in black, or you wear your little black dress. Heels are common in offices. Many kiwis work manual jobs so farms is short shorts (stubbies), swazie singlet, swanndri jacket in red/black or blue/black checks and complete the look with a bucket hat and gumboots. Everywhere else really has uniforms or you end up in a high-vis suit.
2. New Zealand style in 3 words: Practical. Casual. American. We don't take things seriously here and everything's quite laid back, wear what feels good. But we follow American trends mostly.
3. What would a kiwi never be caught dead in? In a country where men wear shorts shorter than women, most things go. What would we never wear? Anything too formal without reason, dressing up here without an event to go to is weird. We do wear nice clothes but it's kept casual for dinner and such. No one owns an evening gown, it's just that little black dress, again. On the fur matter, you get A LOT of possum fur here. Possums are a huge pest and have to be killed to protect native birds. So to make use of all the animals that have to be killed we use their fur for all sorts. Normally its woven with wool to make it softer and warmer but sometimes the animal is skinned and used to make a jacket or line gloves. It's super expensive because you don't get much fur from one animal and they're hard to catch. We also have a lot of sheep and cow skins, not to waste the skin of dairy or wool farm animals when they reach the end of their life.
4. colour scheme: Anything goes, but neutrals are normally the go to, there's really no rules on what you can and cant mix here. Right now yellows, oranges, browns and reds are popular.
5. What would a kiwi never leave the house without? A jersey or jacket since the weather changes at any given moment, maybe not in summer. But in summer definitely a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are a must! CFCs have destroyed the ozone pretty bad along with other causes, the burn time here in NZ is 7-10 minutes. There's 67,000 new cases of skin cancer here a year, compared to a total of 16 000 for all other types of cancer. We only have 4.5 million people. Slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a hat and wrap on some sunglasses
In Canada, I'm a uni student and I wear a blazer with dark pants and rain boots (because Vancouver), but I have class mates that wear slippers and sweat pants, so in this community it's up to you. In terms of work, I would say it depends where you work, everything from shorts and a tshirt to a full suit.
Two of my favorite RUclipsrs in One !!/:) Awesome information. Awesome collaboration !
So excited to see this video. I follow you both and love this collab! ⭐️
I've watched, and truly enjoyed, both videos - what a wonderful concept, and such a pleasure to listen.
Thank you fordoing this video, it was very interesting. I come from an area of the United
States that has a lot of descendants of Scandinavian immigrants, people who
immigrated in the 1800's. The style is very conservative and sometimes,
outdated. It is interesting to hear that the Swedish women dress in very modern
and trendy styles.
I love this collaboration! Great work!
Thanks a lot Jenny! Great to see you with Justine. Thanks a lot!
My two favorite fashion stylist in one video ❤️ ahh excited
I would like to point out that in Sweden depends on what kind of company/job. I’ve had a job where skirt and tailored jacket or good classic pants and jacket (Tiger of Sweden or Boss) or a dress.. it depends on where you work.
Interesting. I love the cultural flavors and differences. What a fun video! Thank you both. I live in the Pacific North west of US, Oregon and we wear socks and sandals. There is a huge variety of styles, from polished to grunge. Work is mostly career casual.
Wow I got genuinely excited seeing this video! Love you twoooo :D
This iconic I can’t believe my eyes, I love you both
It was great to see you guys together! What a pair , loved it ❤👍👍
My two very favourite youtubers yay ❤
I'm from Finland but I spend quite a bit of time in Sweden and have a bunch of friends there, and while I'm sure we're generally a bit more casual than the French, you most definitely see suits in the street. Bankers, lawyers and businessmen and -women will wear formal clothing to work. I study international law at uni and while I wear yoga pants to campus, a lot of business students dress pretty formally even to class.
You ladies are such fun ! Loved this nd subscribed to your channel!
THE TWO OF YOU TOGETHER I AM GAGGINGGG
MY TWO FAVORITE RUclipsRS TOGETHER!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!
oh yeah ! :)
Loving your new looks, Jenny! And I love that you and Justine know each other!
Yay! Two of my favorite youtubers together!
Omg Yes!!!! I wouldn't even dream about this collab and now it's here 😍
Seriously love this! Getting to know about your both cultures is very interesting! I know some of French but know very less about Sweden! and I was shock that you wear casual to work every day!
Having had both French and Swedish girlfriends, when younger, my impression is that you can't really generalize about French or Swedish women . . . although it is much easier to get to know a French woman, if she really cares for you. My Swedish girlfriend was a law student at Lund University and President of the college division of the Center Party. She might dress conservatively at the university, but loved to go topless, when we were hiking or biking in the country. My French girlfriend was a millionaire from being an actress and singer. I lived on a farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley at the time. The moment she fell in love with me, she ceased buying expensive fashions and thoroughly enjoyed dressing like a peasant girl or hippie in rural Champaign-Argonne.
I have followed Justine for awhile now. So glad I got introduced to you! I look forward to watching more of your videos. ✌️
Jenny, This was really a great idea. It would be fun to see you both doing a series together.
This topic was so spot on for me. I am from Central Europe but have moved to Norway years ago and am constantly split between what to take from the Scandinavian style and what to take from French/European style. I find that a great issue with the Scandinavian style is being oblivious to body shapes. Mostly because a lot of nordic women have a build that allows them to break the rules (tall and slender). However for me - an inverted triangle petite - the boxy Scandinavian clothes are a recipe for disaster. Whenever I try a winter coat made for Norwegian women I just want to rip it off me cause of how unflattering it is. At the same time though I love how sensible women here are and have added a looot of sneakers and dropped high heels almost entirely. Better for your legs long term and infinitely more comfortable. High heels are just not worth the pain for me anymore. It would be cool to hear from others or from Justine and Jenny what they think might be best of both worlds. I always wonder how the few scandinavian women who are petites deal with the clothing style.
I love this video! Great questions, fabulous eyebrows, Jenny!
Thank you, ladies! I’m here from Justine’s channel. Very good questions!
Ohmygosh 2 of my fave youtubers in one video 😍😍😍
So happy to find you! Love this comparison with Justine!
This is the highlight of my year!!! I consider both of you life coaches. This video calms my soul, thank you so much. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
