Case in point? The Parisian's winning, go-to combo of Mary Janes with straight-leg jeans. Just this week we've spotted a plethora of our favourite French influencers in the shoe style, which they have effortlessly paired with simple denim and a chic yet practical top (think white shirts, classic trenches and blazers). The result? A comfy, stylish and easy Spring look that we can't wait to replicate.

Chances are you already own and love these pieces, but if these basic outfit building blocks aren't already in your wardrobe, then you're in luck: We've pulled out the two hero buys that can be combined to create the perfect jeans-and-flats outfit formula for anyone who wants to take French style for a spin—no passport to Paris necessary.
