People in Paris Will Wear These Summer Shoes With Jeans, Skirts, and Dresses
French style can often be described with words like "effortless" and "chic." This no-fuss vibe comes through with the specific pieces this set wears. On that note, elevated basics and easy pieces (like one-and-done dresses) are often go-tos. When it comes to footwear, simple yet chic silhouettes are also front-runners.
There are actually three summer shoe styles that people in Paris have worn and will continue to wear this summer to create their day-to-day looks. And yes, all three of these silhouettes are versatile and can be worn with jeans, skirts, and dresses.
