There's truly nothing quite like a night out in Paris. It's such a special place at any hour of the day, but I think anyone who's been there would agree that it's magical after dark. Accordingly, French fashion people tend to get quite dressed up for evenings out on occasion. French women seemingly love an excuse to wear something fancy out at night, and I've been taking notes on the specific fancy items that they're wearing as of late, from shimmering skirts to the elegant color trend that keeps on giving.
Below, you'll find some of the coolest women in Paris wearing the chicest, fanciest trends on the market. Keep scrolling to see how French It girls like Sabina Socol, Anne-Laure Mais, and Sylvie Mus are styling their fancy pieces and shop similar ones for your own nights out—no Eiffel Tower backdrop needed. (Although, that would be nice.)
