Trends come and go, but Paris fashion is always timeless. This got me wondering about what fashion "trends" French women might find worthy of buying into this season, or will quiet luxury be the be-all and end-all? Let's find out.

I decided to call up a friend and get all of the answers for you. Léna Farl has lived in Paris her entire life and is quite an observant fashion person. She's witnessed the rise and fall of the cardigan obsession and everyone's heel heights. She shocked me by swearing that these seven fall trends simply aren't worth it—let's discuss.

"Consider my affinity for a well-fitted pair of jeans as the foundation of my style identity. The high-rise, wide-leg cut is my ultimate preference. Although, I recognize the power of straight jeans, which seamlessly harmonize with a large spectrum of garments, from a simple white tee and sneakers to a more elaborate top paired with heels."

Shop the trend:

Pause: Sambas

Wear: Ballet Flats

"I'm ditching the trendy jackets for a piece I'm wearing over and over, no matter the season! A timeless, versatile blazer will elevate any formal or casual looks."

"Well, you can actually still wear floral if you match it with leopard print! For me, leopard print is a neutral and a classic print to have in your closet. … I incorporate this vivacious print as an essential punctuation mark for my outfits, whether harmonizing with understated hues or combined with other playful patterns."
