My Friend Wants to Dress Like a Parisian—5 Cool Outfit Ideas I Recommended

One of my friends recently stumbled upon one of my stories highlighting Parisian-inspired style. She loves the effortless and chic aesthetic this set often has and wanted a fresh list of outfit ideas that would give her that Parisian look.
I scrolled through the Instagram feeds of some of the most stylish French women and sent her five cool outfit ideas that feel very je ne sais quoi. I’m sharing the ensembles with you below as well for inspiration. I also made product recommendations for each outfit if you want to add a fresh piece or two to your wardrobe this season.
This ensemble is perfection. It's easy, cool, and elegant. A gray knit is a fashion-person staple that exudes effortlessness. And yes, styling it with a satin skirt and knee-high boots feels very Parisian.
I love the layered look here with the two sweaters. The beige pants and leather jacket amp up the cool factor.
A suede trench will elevate any look. The brown coat pops with the tailored separates here.
An oversize sweater and jeans are no-fail. While this COS sweater is sold out in this color, a few remain in another hue. The cuff bracelet over the sleeve is also noteworthy.
I also want to live in this outfit with the utility jacket, cable-knit scarf, and sweater. Perfection.
