My Daughter and I Just Went to France—These Are the Outfits We Wore in Paris
Melissa Meyers and her daughter, Rachel Meyers, are go-to resources for style inspiration. They both share similar aesthetics that focus on modern silhouettes, made up of a lot of elevated basics and forward separates. In fact, they just took a trip to France for fashion week and wore similar ensembles while perusing the streets of Paris.
"Paris is the City of Light and has always held a special place in my heart. When I lived in London, I used to go there almost every weekend for the food and, of course, the fashion. This year, my daughter Rachel and I went on our first mother-daughter trip there, embracing the opportunity to show our personal style with the essence of Parisian fashion," Melissa said.
Below, you'll uncover the outfits both of the Meyers women wore in Paris to inspire any upcoming looks. There are also inspired shopping recommendations sprinkled throughout.
Tailored Silhouettes
"Tailored chic is all about sophisticated, clean lines and timeless pieces that exude an understated elegance. Parisians are masters at this style, effortlessly combining classic pieces with modern twists. Rachel and I paired tailored styles like refined jackets, vests, trousers, and loafers that perfectly captured the essence of Parisian style." — Meyers
