The NYC Way: A belted trench will add instant sophistication to a casual denim fit.
The French Way: Layer a tailored overcoat with a sleek shoulder bag for an elevated vibe.

The NYC Way: Don't be afraid of the monochromatic look and use statement knee-highs to balance out the ensemble.
The French Way: Go for a non-basic pair of boots as the anchor to your outfit with a flowy skirt and cozy jacket.
