This New $35 H&M Blazer Is a French-Girl Staple That'll Sell Like Crazy
Try as I might, I don't think anyone will be mistaking me for a French girl anytime soon. But will that stop me from taking style cues from the best dressed women in Paris? Absolutely not. When I was recently browsing H&M's new-arrival section, I came across the perfect plaid blazer with an incredibly affordable price tag that instantly reminded me of French style. So obviously, I had to share it with you.
H&M's new blazer is a steal at $35 and looks very similar to versions worn by Jeanne Damas, Sabina Socol, and other Parisian influencers I know you all love to follow on the 'gram. Scroll down to shop the blazer that will inevitably sell out and see how women are styling the wardrobe staple in the City of Light.

How French Girls Style Plaid Blazers
Salomé Mory styles her plaid blazer with a basic tee-and-jeans combo and Chanel ballet flats.
Jeanne styled her version with a knotted belt and flowy trousers.
Like Salomé, Sabina wears her blazer with a basic white top and jeans.
I love everything about this outfit, especially the plaid bag.
As you can tell, most French women style plaid blazers in understated ways, making their outfits super easy to copy.
Yet another example of French women expertly dressing up tee-and-jeans combos.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
