Superstar director and Chanel fashion darling Sofia Coppola was spotted strolling in the seaside town of Biarritz in our ideal European tourist ensemble. The Virgin Suicides auteur paired an oversize collarless white button-down with loose jeans and coordinated designer accessories to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her now-iconic film amidst the storied Biarritz Film Festival.
While jeans are, understandably, a go-to for travelers, when styled with a basic T-shirt and sneakers, they can also scream "tourist." So, take a style note from Coppola and add a bit of French flair with a skinny belt, woven bag, and cap-toe ballet flats. Subtle changes can make all the difference. Keep scrolling to shop similar pieces and re-create the breezy beach-adjacent outfit for your upcoming trip. Don't forget a chic pair of shades!
