Last updated

Nettement Chic (English: Definitely Chic) is an online shopping guide established in January 2012 by Kate Davis Huet, a British ex-lawyer. [1] [2] Davis created the online boutique to address the lack of French online shopping websites. [3] The website is based in Paris, France and offers both French and English language versions. Subscription is free.

Nettement Chic features a selection of online fashion, beauty and interior design shops, including L’Exception, my-wardrobe, Net-a-Porter and Mr Porter, Vestiaire Collective, Caratime and The Beautyst. [4]

The site makes a themed weekly ‘Chic of the week’ selection from featured sites, as well as a ‘Look of the week’ put together by personal shopper Lara Le Joncour. It also features offers from partner websites, weekly newsletters and competitions. [5]

According to Madame Figaro, the site is "an indispensable platform to find your way through the jungle that is the net". [6]

In December 2012 Nettement Chic held a pop-up store on 16 rue Saint Roch in the 1st arrondissement. [7] [8]
