The French chic inspires us again and again because it masters the balancing act between timelessness and trend awareness more elegantly and effortlessly than almost any other. With a few key pieces, you too can easily add the incomparable style of the French women to your wardrobe and turn heads on the street with your stylish summer looks in the last warm weeks of the year!
Four styles that French women wear in late summer
1. Classic station wagon
Sometimes less is more: even French women often rely on basic pieces for an elegant and simple look. With the combination of a white shirt or t-shirt and jeans you are always spot on and don’t even have to worry too much about your styling! For the summer, instead of long jeans, denim shorts are the right choice. In order to be even more trendy, you rely on so-called “Jorts”, the It version of the season.
2. Maxi mode
In order to look as fashionable as possible, we only need one thing: Right! The maxi skirt. The fact that long skirts are back in fashion is no longer a novelty. They are particularly practical in summer because they are airy, can be combined in many different ways and are wonderfully comfortable. In France, women also love the feminine garment and are currently wearing the trendy Carmen-style variant. This ruffled version of the maxi skirt exudes extra charm and romance, helping us dream our way down the streets of Paris.
3. Best Bast Bag Companion
French women have long relied on summery raffia bags as everyday companions. In the meantime, the trend has also swept over to Germany and is not only stylish but also quite practical: you can store a lot of stuff in most models and no longer have to decide whether there is still room for a sweater for the evening or not . The robust natural fiber also ensures that the bag can remain one of our summer favorites for a long time to come and that holiday flair is also radiated on German streets.
4. Polka power
Of course, this does not mean the lively dance, but the current favorite pattern of all French women. In addition to classic stripes, which often make up Parisian chic, dots are also very popular. Dot patterns always give a look a playful, feminine touch and are always a sweet eye-catcher on tops or dresses, especially in summer, without being too obtrusive. That’s how simple trés chic can be: you can definitely always score with this trend!
