5 Things Girls in Paris and NYC Both Wear
As I hope you’ve gathered from the title of this story, today we’re in for a roundup of epic proportions. After reading this, not only will you be able to emulate the styles of the ever-elusive French girl and always enviable NYC girl, but you will be able to cover both bases at the same time—because 1. why choose one if you don't have to, and 2. what could be better?
To make it as easy as possible, I’ve combed through Instagram and rounded up the five pieces both demographics wear, just in time for the start of fall. From the classic animal-print dress to fashion’s It item of the moment, bike shorts, simply continue on for the five items both groups have in common, to see how they each style them, and, of course, to shop them.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
