From timeless crew-neck styles to striped sweaters, take a peek below and add a breath of fresh air to your next sweater outfit this season. Keep scrolling to shop plenty of our shopping picks to get the French-girl look.
Striped Sweater
Striped sweaters are a timeless classic in every French woman's wardrobe. Whether you go for a more fitted knit or a cool, relaxed silhouette, the versatile sweater is perfect for every season and of course, pairs beautifully with jeans—no matter what wash you go for.
Shop:
Fitted Turtleneck
One staple French women can't live without during winter? A fitted turtleneck (especially a black one). Layer it under an oversize sweater or blazer and add a cool pair of straight-leg jeans.
Shop:
Relaxed Crew-Neck Sweater
A loose and relaxed crew-neck sweater is one of those items I see time and time again on stylish French women. Stick with a neutral beige, gray, or black hue for utmost versatility.
Shop:
Cable-Knit
From preppy white to versatile beige, a cable-knit sweater adds texture and interest to a basic pair of jeans.
Shop:
Pop of Red
Yes, French women love color too. I see poppy orange-red colors come up time and time again on French girls—a perfect complement to a blue pair of jeans.
Shop:
Preppy
From polo collars to half-zips and sporty fabrics, preppy sweater styles are a big part in many French women's wardrobes. A pair of white jeans will complete the look perfectly.
Shop:
Fluffy and Fuzzy
Stylish French women love textured sweaters—soft, fluffy and fuzzy fabrics are styles I see on repeat—whether in the form of a cardigan or cute knit top.
Shop:
Oversize Cardigan
An oversize cardigan thrown over a button-down, tank top, or tee, and styled with jeans is an outfit formula we see on the fashionable French set time and time again.
Shop:
Cropped
High-waisted jeans and a cropped sweater is a trusty combo we've seen a lot recently. Opt for a crew neck or turtleneck cropped silhouette and finish the look with a chic belt to pull the outfit together.
Shop:
Colorful Stripes
Colorful striped sweaters that have a vintage vibe look great with blue jeans. It will add an uplifting and fresh touch to your denim this season.
