Fashion People in Paris Will Wear These Basics Over Others in 2023

French women are known for their effortless approach to style. You know, that je ne sais quoi. As a result, we routinely turn to fashion people in Paris for guidance on key pieces to try that could enhance those everyday looks. And given that no-fuss is often synonymous with the Parisian style set, basics often make up many of their desirable looks.
On that note, after scrolling through the feeds of some of the chicest women based in Paris, it became evident that there are a few key basics the majority wear on repeat. And we bet they'll continue to lean into said basics over others in 2023 given the versatile and modern qualities.
Below, you'll get a sense of the basics that will be most popular among Parisians this year.
1. Striped Sweater
As we showcased here, basically everyone in France owns some type of stripe sweater. It makes sense given that the ideal style feels low-key yet polished.
2. Relaxed Button-Down Shirt
A button-down shirt will continue to reign supreme as a key basic among the style set for an easy way to add an instant touch of chic sophistication to a look.
3. Straight-Leg/Loose Jeans
While skinny jeans will still be around (a classic style at this point), we bet that Parisians will continue leaning into relaxed denim in 2023.
4. Knit Dress
In the dress category, knit silhouettes will be front-runners as easy picks to throw on and go. This look is very elegant with the white dress and black tights.
5. Wide-Leg Trousers
Sleek trousers in a wider cut feel elevated and can be dressed up or down. A true French staple.
