Let's Talk About 'French Girl Style' in 2018

Let’s admit it. French girls are always so chic. While it sometimes seems that they’re born with an unfair style gene the rest of us missed out on, French girls are just masters of classic style rules.

To gain some insight on this French sensibility, we did some searching around Instagram to see how our favourite French fashion girls are applying these perpetual rules today, in 2018. Regardless of whether you try out these looks today or in six months, we guarantee you’ll always look on-trend!

1. Well Fitted Jeans Never Go Out of Style

It seems obvious, but finding a perfect pair of jeans really can make or break a wardrobe. Jeans last forever, so it may be worth splurging on a pair that really suits you.

2. High Waisted Trousers Are an Essential

To create the illusion of mile-high legs, a high waistline is your best friend. Paired with even a simple top and heels, this look is sure to turn heads.

3. Leopard Print is Truly Timeless

You either love it or hate it, but regardless, leopard print isn’t going anywhere. The trick is to keep the rest of your look simple for an outfit that feels adventurous, not tacky.

4. Wrap Dresses Are Universally Flattering

If this isn’t already a summer staple for you, get one immediately! For starters, it's extremely flattering due to the waist-cinching nature of the cut, and also extremely comfortable. Talk about versatile.
