Colour, as a policy
Screenfits earns a commission on some links below, at no cost to you. We choose the garments first and find where to buy them second — never the other way round.
Clashing prints, a bucket hat, opera gloves in the daytime, a beret and more colour than any single outfit should contain.
Marylin Fitoussi designs the show with Patricia Field as consulting costume designer. Field on the brief: "As fashion these days has become rather monotonous and boring (jeans, sneakers, etc.), it was the perfect opportunity to develop Emily's style as more colorful and optimistic." On the character's arc, the aim was "to slowly develop her in a bit of a more sophisticated and professional way without destroying her signature style."

Take one element, not the whole outfit. That's genuinely how this wardrobe is built — a beret, a printed blazer, a bright bag. Copying a full look is the failure mode. If you do want the full effect: two prints, one bright solid, and an accessory that doesn't belong. Field's rule is that nothing should agree. Colour is the actual signature. Fuchsia, chartreuse, cobalt, tangerine — saturated and combined without regard for whether they should be. And finish at the head. A beret, a bucket hat or a headband. Every Emily outfit closes at the top, which is what stops it looking merely busy.
American maximalism in a French city: bright checked blazers, printed blouses, berets, sequins and a mini bag that fits nothing but confidence.
Anchor one loud piece with one louder piece — matching is optional, commitment isn't. The beret goes on top regardless of what Sylvie thinks.
French minimalism. That's everyone else in the show; Emily's whole point is refusing to whisper.
