This French Family Wears Zara in Ways That Floor Me—Here's What They're Buying
No matter your personal style preference, fashion lovers of any persuasion can probably all agree on one thing: French people are undeniably chic. It's probably no surprise that our FYP on TikTok routinely serves up style inspiration from Paris—that's where we first came across Sophie and her style-savvy brood.
The 42-year-old model, image consultant, and mother of three routinely posts her family's "look du jour" on TikTok, and despite speaking very rudimentary French, we have spent hours scrolling through her sweet videos. Imagine our surprise when we discovered just how many of the excellent everyday items in their wardrobes came straight from Zara.
Keep scrolling to check out our favorite TikToks featuring the whole family, then browse the affordable, endlessly wearable wardrobe basics from Zara that we've spotted on @MademoiselleSoph's feed. Whether you're shopping for yourself or in search of something even a Gen Zer will love, Zara's got it covered this season. The only thing missing is that highly covetable hot-pink Chanel handbag.

Before temperatures get too cold, try adding a lightweight felt topcoat into the mix.
Depending on the material, a sweater can double as a blazer or jacket.

When you find a style of pants that fits perfectly, we recommend buying a pair in every color.
Don't sleep on Zara's accessories. This is not a Chanel bag, but you can't deny it's chic.
You'll want to check out the graphic print on the back—it makes for a fun surprise when the jacket comes off.
Look for skirts made of interesting materials and fun textures. Wear as part of a set, or mix and match for a more versatile look.
We love skorts for summer, but they make a lot of sense for winter, too, especially with tall boots.
Structured staples like this jacket with shoulder pads can make even the most basic outfit look more elevated.
French folks aren't super into logos, so these white sneakers are an affordable favorite.
Try mixing different fabrics—like lace, satin, and leather—for a fashion-forward outfit.

Even a simple hooded sweatshirt can look chic with the right styling.
Look for an oversize sweater and be prepared for everyone in the family to borrow it.
Remember: Even if you buy the whole suit, you can always wear each piece separately.
We recommend having at least one versatile crossbody bag in every wardrobe.
