The Secret Place I Look for Affordable French Trends
A few years ago, I visited the Other Stories headquarters in Stockholm and was amazed at how much they could churn out from that relatively small office. But as I learned, their Scandi HQ isn't the only place they dream up their designs—they also have ateliers in Los Angeles and Paris.
However, I never noticed until now that you can narrow your search on the site to only show items designed in each city. You can do this via an easy-to-miss dropdown menu called "Designed in." Given our readers' love for all things French style, naturally, I selected "Designed in Paris," and the results did not disappoint. The pieces all have a subtle French vibe that's hard not to love, and almost every item is under $120. Scroll down to shop my favorite pieces from this hidden-in-plain-sight section of Other Stories.
6 Trends From Other Stories' "Designed in Paris" Category
1. High-Neck Tops and Dresses
2. Pastel Sweaters
3. Vests
Vests will be everywhere this year, so you might as well get a head start.
4. Gold Jewelry
5. Flared Jeans and Pants
6. Mini Skirts
Next, I'm never giving up cardigans—here's are the lightweight ones I'm into for spring.
