New Yorkers and Parisians Wear These 3 Outfits Because They're Easy and Chic
I follow a range of New York City– and Paris-based influencers because, yes, many in this set just get it when it comes to creating effortless and chic looks for their lives in the city. In fact, while scrolling through my saved folder on Instagram, I noticed that there are actually a few specific outfit formulas both New Yorkers and Parisians seem to wear on repeat.
Below, you'll uncover further insight into the effortless ensembles in question that feature simple items like jeans, blazers, and layering pieces. If you're in the mood for a bit of shopping, there are also inspired product recommendations. Keep scrolling for more—you just may find a new go-to outfit to try.
Long Coat + Knit + Skirt + Knee-High Boots
For a polished silhouette, consider an ensemble like this with the trench, sweater, pleated skirt, and chic knee-high boots.
A longline coat brings elegance to any ensemble, including this forward 'fit.
Leather Jacket + Relaxed Pants + Sneakers
A leather bomber jacket in a looser cut is very of-the-moment and looks fresh with a white tee, relaxed trousers, and classic sneakers.
A distressed leather jacket will make any ensemble feel cool. The cargo pants here are also quite noteworthy.
Oversize Blazer + Simple Top + Jeans + Sandals
You can't deny the power of an oversize blazer like this to elevate any casual look.
That longline blazer with the wide-leg jeans is such an effortless pairing.
