@tylynnnguyenBelts are the accessory that way too many people overlook. The difference that a good belt makes when styling a pair of jeans with a white shirt is quite noteworthy. French women know to invest in this accessory and never bother with a logo.
Fashion people are loving silver jewelry right now, so a silver belt feels right.

@annelauremaisFrench women don't particularly waste a lot of time on runway trends, but there was one standout styling trick from the 2023 runways that I saw so many women wearing. Layered crew-necks were a big star at Miu Miu and on the streets near the Seine. The best part is you can probably re-create this look with what is currently in your wardrobe.
Exactly the price point I look for when it comes to a good sweatshirt.
I know from experience that this sweater is cozy.
I love to shop in the men's section for my oversized sweatshirts.

@anoukyveAfter observing French women wearing lightweight blazers on the daily, the biggest change in my wardrobe during my time in Paris is that I started never leaving the house without one. Blazers are versatile, practical, and now at the top of my list when I get ready for a day of doing whatever is on my agenda.

@_sierramayhew; Pictured: Lioness Moss '90s Long Sleeve Cotton Shirtdress ($89)People know French women wear white button-down shirts on repeat, but surprisingly, I saw more striped iterations of the wardrobe staple than expected. It's a fun upgrade to the classic piece you already own, so I say go for it.
A pop of color is nice, but I like all of the neutrals this comes in as well.

@camillecharriereWide-leg pants are trending worldwide, but they're more than a trend to French women. They are a lifestyle. The influence hit me so hard that I found myself wearing wide-leg pants almost every other day. It's a movement I plan on taking back home with me for sure.

@sylviemus_French women wasted no time on denim trends and went straight for the most classic silhouette of all—straight-leg jeans. By spending just one weekend in Paris, you might imagine that every French woman owns the same pair of jeans.
These are the type of jeans that make your legs look miles long.
Something about mid-rise feels so French girl.

@francescasaffariI was formerly led to believe that French people laugh at Americans who wear sneakers outside of the gym, but I've been proven wrong. I've seen more sneakers here than any other type of shoes. French people prioritize comfort over everything, so don't be afraid to buy a pair of cool sneakers.
Since Adidas are back, pick out a pair that feels a bit different.
The Velcro will speed up the time it takes me to get out of the door.
