Policy
Terms of use
A short agreement for reading the journal. It is not a contract to buy clothes, because we do not sell them.
These terms were last updated on November 12, 2026. By using Rive Gauche Style, you agree to them.
The writing
Essays are general information about dress, cloth, care, and shopping method. They are not personal styling advice, tailoring advice, or a promise that a garment will fit, last, or suit a particular occasion. You are responsible for the measurements you take and for the purchase you make.
No prices, no codes
We do not quote a price and we do not issue promo codes. Anything you see about money or returns on a retailer's site is that retailer's information, current only when you read it there.
Links
Outbound buttons are described in the affiliate disclosure. Following one takes you off this site. We are not responsible for the retailer's content, availability, or policies.
The text and the pictures
The essays are published by Rive Gauche Style. You may share a link. You may not copy an essay wholesale and republish it as your own. Photographs remain under the Unsplash License, and that license — not these terms — governs how the pictures may be reused.
The site
We may update, correct, or remove an essay. The site is provided as published. We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, and we are not liable for decisions you make after reading it.
