Paris isn’t the capital of Fashion for no reason. One can never go wrong with the French style not because they’re constantly generating new fashion trends, but because of how elegant and timeless their signature looks can be. Sometimes they come most simplistically, like a pair of red lips or blue denim jeans.
The world is whipped for their mix of casual and dressy effortlessly pulled off in their everyday lives. Nailing it, however, comes down more to knowing how to pair your staples than to owning a myriad of French-inspired pieces.
Here are seven outfits you can seek inspiration from for each day of the week, to incorporate a French flair into your look:
