You may remember this recent piece where we showcased how Parisians are styling relaxed tailored trousers. Up next, we wanted to focus on a few outfit formulas French women are wearing on the regular right now.

This is one outfit formula that's decidedly French-girl chic with these effortless pieces: relaxed blazer, white tank, and straight-leg jeans.
French women have a way of pairing just a few simple items together to create a sleek outfit. A classic, loose button-down tucked into a modern miniskirt is very right now.
Want an easy, French girl inspired look? Team a white puff-sleeve top with light-wash jeans. A woven bag completes the silhouette.

You just can't deny the power of a striped sweater with wide-leg trousers for an effortless vibe.
