Fashion People in Paris Still Wear This Classic Item With Basics

If it’s an effortless and chic outfit idea we’re looking for, the fashion crowd in Paris is one group we routinely turn to. Because yes, many in this set have perfectly mastered that je ne sais quoi. Given their no-fuss approach to fashion, it’s those versatile items that consistently make up some of their chicest looks. Well, there’s actually one specific staple Parisians have been wearing for years (you may remember this popular style) that is basically a classic at this point. I’m referring to slip skirts.

The pretty skirt silhouette can be styled with so many different pieces. After scrolling through the Instagram feeds of some of our favorite French influencers, it became evident that elevated basics are the go-to picks to style with slip skirts.

Keep scrolling to see how fashion people in Paris are styling their favorite slip skirts with a variety of trend-forward basics you may already have in your closet.
