People in Paris Wear These 4 Elegant Items, and They'll Be Essentials in 2025
Parisians are known for their effortless approach to style, often opting for easy, fuss-free, and elegant items. On that note, particularly elegant staples appeared again and again on the feeds of my favorite French style-setters. Yes, each item in question feels classic yet modern—very 2025, if you will.
I think the selects people in Paris are wearing below will be essentials for many in 2025 (if they're not already) because they're versatile and impossibly chic. I'm absolutely recommending the elegant staples when others ask me for 2025 style guidance.
Keep scrolling to shop the elegant pieces Parisians won't stop wearing.
Brown Coat
One of my favorite staples this season is the brown coat, and Parisians also continue to wear this piece. There is something so chic and elevated about a beautiful brown outerwear piece. It will make any look feel more modern.
Slip Skirt
A slip skirt is a classic piece that Parisians continue to wear repeatedly. That's unsurprising because it's inherently chic. I love the idea of styling one with a sweater for winter.
Cable-Knit Sweater
A cable-knit sweater—especially in gray like the one pictured here—is always chic. You can wear one with a simple skirt or a pair of jeans, and you'll look so elegant and put-together.
Power Blazer
A power blazer that is structured and tailored is so sleek. This is a no-fail piece that could easily become an essential.
