10 Affordable Items I Spotted on the Paris Street Style Scene

During fashion month, I look to the runways to spot trends that will be popping up in six months, but I also keep an eye on what fashion insiders are wearing to the shows. Those looks often end up inspiring my personal purchases since they distill the best of what’s trending into wearable looks. While the outfits spotted on the street style scene during Paris Fashion Week are brimming with designer pieces that don’t always fit into a budget, there are also great affordable finds in the mix.

So what are some of the coolest affordable pieces spotted on fashion girls in Paris? Matching skirt suits, party dresses, cozy knits, and comfortable sneakers, to name a few. Ahead, see some of the best inexpensive items the fashion set are wearing right now—starting at just $19.
