If you think about it, the pillars of the average French woman's wardrobe are basics. You've got jeans, blazers, ankle boots, cardigans, midi dresses, miniskirts and of course, T-shirts. French women are not sloppy dressers by nature, so you won't see most of them throwing on a baggy T-shirt, leggings and flip-flops and calling it a day. Their T-shirt outfits are simple, but you can tell some thought went into them.
I don't know about you, but pretty much all I want to wear lately are T-shirts, and I'm in need of some fresh inspiration. So I scrolled through Instagram for a good 75 minutes (yep) and found seven T-shirt outfits that I've spotted on repeat on French women. Keep scrolling to shop the easy pieces needed to recreate them for yourself.
Graphic Tee + Pleated Miniskirt + Sneakers
Aside from the fact that pleated skirts are back, in general, this outfit is something fun and different to add into your T-shirt outfit rotation.
Shop the outfit:
Blazer + T-Shirt + Long Shorts + Sporty Sandals
This outfit is filled with so many trends (oversized blazer, long shorts, sporty sandals, chain necklace) yet it still looks so classic.
Shop the outfit:
Ribbed T-Shirt + Wide-Leg Trousers + Trainers
If you need a break from wearing jeans, wide-leg trousers are a great, summer-friendly alternative. Any shoe style will work here, but trainers are great for obvious comfort-related reasons.
Shop the outfit:
White T-Shirt + Denim Cutoffs + Ballet Flats
All of these outfits are great, but this is probably the one I'll wear the most this summer. The shorts are the perfect length, the T-shirt is the perfect amount of slouchy, and the accessories are the perfect amount of elevated.
Shop the outfit:
Graphic Tee + Black Skinny Jeans + Animal-Print Boots
This outfit may not be groundbreaking but French girls love it and it works every time.
Shop the outfit:
Trench Coat + T-Shirt + Loose Jeans + Chunky Boots
This combination of pieces proves that a trench coat need not be boring. When paired with the distressed jeans and cool accessories, it's anything but.
Shop the outfit:
Blazer + Concert Tee + Jeans + Boots
The French love their blazers and jeans. To make it a bit more fun, wear them with a concert tee and statement boots.
