There's nothing quite like a French woman's love affair with her rotation of seasonless closet staples. For years, we've written about our adoration for the French and their wardrobes, whether it be straight-leg denim that just hits right or striped shirts that scream less mime and more chic. In this installment, I wanted to muse about the number one outerwear piece French women always have in their closets, no matter the season. Of course, I'm talking about blazers, specifically slouchy, lived-in, oversize blazers.
Oversize blazers go with everything you might think of—white T-shirts, button-downs, minidresses, and even simple bralettes and sheer tights. The options are endless. Choose one in classic wool, subtle pinstripe, or suede for a fresh twist. Push up the sleeves, belt it over a dress, or layer it with a scarf and ankle boots for that nonchalant je ne sais quoi.
Ready to channel your inner Parisian? Scroll on to shop the best oversize blazers and see how to style them the French way.
