I haven’t traveled to Paris in a while now, but that doesn’t mean I’m paying any less attention to what’s happening on the fashion scene there. Following a quick scroll through Instagram, some of the coolest Parisian fashion insiders have me tuned in to what French style looks like at the moment and all of the trends that are taking over.
Summer is in full swing, so that means the streets of Paris are currently filled with skin-baring pieces like midriff tops. Some of the major color trends of the season are taking hold in addition to some stylish micro-trends that I’ve been eyeing. If you’re ready to adopt the coolest trends in Paris, I’ve found seven of my current favorites for under $150. Ahead, shop the French-approved fashion trends to start wearing now and see inspiration for how to style each of them.
Midriff-Baring Tops
The piece of the season? A midriff-baring top. Make like the Parisians and style yours with a pretty maxi skirt.
Shop the trend:
Colorful Button-Downs
Button-down tops are having a moment, especially in fun shades that add a pop of color to your look. Try these in an upsized silhouette.
Shop the trend:
Baguette Bags
Throwback baguette bags have only been getting more and more popular. If you thought they were going to start slowing down, think again.
Shop the trend:
Bubblegum Pink
Our editors can’t get enough of vibrant bubblegum-pink pieces, and it seems like Parisians agree it’s a wardrobe essential.
Shop the trend:
Shorts Sets
Shorts sets have emerged as the unofficial uniform of summer 2021, and you’d better believe that Parisian women are on board with the look.
Shop the trend:
Bright Green
Green is carving itself out to be one of the defining colors of 2021—particularly in bright shades like avocado and lime that really make a statement.
Shop the trend:
Striped Pants
A new trend bubbling on the Parisian scene? Striped pants in versions ranging from jeans to trousers. I expect we’ll be seeing more of these as we move into fall.
