If you read my stories regularly, you'll know I'm a French woman at heart. And there's no season that I relish in that effortlessly chic French-girl look more than fall. I mean, I can't think of many things that are more quintessentially "fall" than autumn in Paris. It's cozy and crisp, and the typical classic style that's so popular among the French is perfectly suited for the season—think relaxed blazers, trench coats, chic ankle boots, cute cardigans, and pleated trousers, to name but a few Parisian staples.
To get inspired for my "autumn in Paris" wardrobe this season, I'm highlighting seven classic and fresh French-girl fall outfits I've spotted lately that I cannot wait to emulate for myself. These are all comprised of timeless yet of-the-moment staples with a perfect dose of je ne sais quoi. Keep scrolling to get the classic "autumn in Paris" vibe.
Jeanne Damas gives us a lesson in chic and polished fall styling with the perfect combination of a beige check blazer, straight-leg jeans, and pops of subtle color with red vintage-inspired pumps and an of-the-moment martini green knit top. A minimalist tan bag finishes the look perfectly.
