Simplicity is my middle name when it comes to summer dressing. Once the temps hit over 75°F, I'm all about leaning into clean and uncomplicated outfits that are easy to assemble yet still look polished and put-together. And no one embodies simple, effortless, and chic dressing like the French.
I write about French-inspired style a lot onBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and I'm always drawing inspiration from French women's seasonal looks. This week I saved a handful of outfits from some of my favorite stylish Parisians that I fully plan on stealing for myself this summer. I'm sharing them with you here today, along with plenty of shopping picks so you can create the looks for yourself. Take a peek below if you're all about simplicity this summer.
Sometimes the chicest summer outfits are the simplest. Lean into a combo the French fashion set loves: a crisp white tank and straight-leg jeans. Keep the look elevated by pairing it with minimal black accessories. Perfect for summer in the city.
Shop the look:
A classic little black dress is always a good idea. Opt for a simple silhouette in a lightweight linen fabric, and pair it with chic ballet flats for an outfit that can easily be worn day or night.
Shop the look:
For a zero-effort-required summer ensemble, go for a casual but chic matching set paired with elevated accessories.
Shop the look:
Opt for an outfit comprised of elevated staples—a crisp white maxi skirt and a white tank, broken up with tan leather accessories looks seriously luxe. A relaxed stripe button-down finishes the look perfectly.
Shop the look:
It doesn't get easier or chicer than a black crew-neck tee, white high-waisted shorts, and a raffia bag.
Shop the look:
Stay cool in the sweltering heat in a simple white linen dress. Just add black mules and a silk scarf for a Grace Kelly-inspired look.
Shop the look:
A chic vest and low-rise skirt feel fresh for a quick Parisian escape. It's the perfect sleek and summery outfit.
Shop the look:
For an all black outfit that's anything but boring, pair a silk black midi skirt with a tank and thong flatforms. Tie a white sweater over your shoulders to break up the look.
