Fashion People Wear This Shoe Trend to Blend in With French Girls in Paris

As a fashion editor, I spend hours scrolling online retailers for the best shoppable products and sifting through hundreds of street style photos for the finest outfit ideas. Sometimes, I get lucky with a crossover moment when an affordable, in-stock product from a reader-favorite retailer reminds me of a fashion trend all over the street style scene. That's exactly the case with my latest H&M find.
While browsing H&M's new arrivals section, I found an exceptionally chic pair of shoes. H&M's Ballet Flats ($25) are well-priced and feature the cap-toe shoe trend, which is hugely popular in Paris. When fashion people travel to Paris, many of them pack cap-toe shoes because they're popular with French girls. Need proof? Scroll down to see how women wear cap-toe shoes in Paris. I'm positive that their outfits will provide you with plenty of styling ideas.
