I've officially been studying French style for 12 years, so, by now, I'd like to think I know what makes Gallic girls tick. I hate to stereotype as there will always be exceptions to the rule but, in most instances, I'd say the key to unlocking the French woman's innate sense of style and effortless way of getting dressed is to go back to basics. Get your staples right—well cut blazers, timeless jeans, simple tops and premium-looking knits (with a black-and-white stripe thrown in for good measure)—and you'll find yourself right on course.
With all the buzz around Amazon's Spring Deal Days this week and the pretty epic sales discounts found within, I challenged myself to create the chicest French-inspired edit possible solely from Amazon. And you know what? It was easier than I thought it would be.
French women use wardrobe staples to build out their timeless looks; items which Amazon has plenty of.
Turns out, Amazon has many, many expensive-looking pieces right now, and lots of them are included in the Spring Deals Day sales. Think classic trench coats and pretty dresses that will help you kickstart your spring wardrobe with ease, Levi's (yes, really), and elegant accessories like loafers, mary-jane ballet flats and tote bags for all occasions. Put simply, if I were to move to Paris, this is the affordable capsule wardrobe I'd set myself up with. It's that chic. I'm a cynic myself, so let me address the elephant in the room: What's the catch? You'll be pleased to hear there isn't one.
What Is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is a two-day sale event exclusively for Amazon Prime members. The sales range from the best of beauty to new in fashion, with plenty of other savings on tech and homeware. There's beauty tools we've been wanting to try, health and wellness items for a summer reboot, home appliances (a couple of the team are in the process of moving), and bits and pieces in between.
When Is Amazon Prime Day 2025?
Amazon Prime Day is a bi-annual event that runs in July and October each year. This year, the July event will run from the 8th to the 11th of July.
How to Access Amazon Prime Day:
Amazon Prime Day sales are available to all Amazon Prime members. You can sign up for an Amazon Prime membership here. It's free for 30 days so you can access all the benefits of the Amazon Prime Day discounts without shelling out a penny (just remember to cancel before the 30 days is up if you don't want to pay the monthly fee going forward).
When Does Amazon Prime Day 2025 End?
For the first time, Prime Day will run for four days and end at midnight on the 11th of July.
