We study French-girl style in depth here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and if there is one thing I've learned, it's that jeans—predominantly vintage-inspired, straight-leg pairs—are practically a second skin to Parisians. While they still wear jeans extensively in the summer, the French also gravitate toward a handful of stylish staples to keep them looking effortlessly cool as the temps rise.
If you love Parisian style as much as we do, take a peek below to see the jean alternatives French people rely on throughout the summer. Plus, get inspired on how to style these staples. Of course, I also included plenty of shopping picks to help you get the look.
Floral Dresses
The French love pretty floral dresses. Once temperatures warm up, you'll likely spot a stylish Parisian sporting a slip-style silhouette or a short-sleeve minidress with a pair of flat sandals, wedges, or mules.
Shop:
Minimalist Miniskirts
Whether styled with a tank, tee, or button-down, the French fashion set has an affinity for sleek, minimalist miniskirts. They'll wear them throughout the summer and tend to style them with ballet flats, flat sandals, or kitten heels.
Shop:
Denim Shorts
Okay, so the French won't get rid of their denim that easily. In the summer, they'll swap their straight-leg jeans for a pair of high-waisted vintage-inspired denim shorts, which they may style with a button-down shirt or blazer in the city to add a polished touch.
Shop:
Silky Slip Dresses
Simple silky slip dresses are a dress style practically every French woman wears in summer. They're easy to style for both day and night. Whether you opt for a vintage-inspired one with lace trim or a simple midi silhouette, the versatile dress always looks chic.
Shop:
Loose Tailored Trousers
Loose or relaxed tailored trousers are a year-round favorite for the French fashion set. In summer, you'll see lighter tones and fabrics paired with tees, tank tops, and sandals.
