I can count more than a few times when French girls influenced my style, and since I lived in Paris years ago, the Parisian approach to getting dressed has left a long-lasting impression on me. Turns out, I’m not alone because our team of editors has also found French girls’ looks as points of inspiration, and this fall, we’re incorporating some of their fall staples into our personal wardrobes.
Ahead, our team of Who What Wear fashion editors is test-driving some of the French fall shopping staples that you can get from Who What Wear Collection that you’re guaranteed to spot on the street of the Marais or a stroll through the Left Bank. And we’re putting our own spin on how to wear them, so get ready for some fresh styling ideas. Here, you’ll find seven key French fall shopping items to add to your new-season wardrobe.
