If You Want to Look More French, This Is the #1 Pant Trend to Buy (Plus the Shoes to Wear With It)
As seen on Jeanne Damas.


The narrative that French people's style is classic and safe and that even the fashion crowd is anti-trends is quite dated, if you ask me. I find that French women fully embrace seasonal trends while putting their signature, effortless, no-fuss Parisian twist on the way they style them. One of the seasonal trends I'm seeing constantly these days among the French is undoubtedly capri pants. Yes, people around the globe are wearing them, but as someone who exhaustively researches what people are wearing, I can confirm that French women are really leaning into the capri pants trend. Call it the Brigitte Bardot effect, or simply credit it to the fact that they have good taste.
One of the French fashion people who is fully embracing the capri pants trend is the eternal It girl Jeanne Damas, who recently attended the Jacquemus show during men's Paris Fashion Week. She paired hers with a color-coordinating structured blazer, white top, and the shoes French women are constantly pairing with capri pants this summer: simple high-heeled mule sandals. It's a classic yet trend-forward combination that you can't go wrong with, so if you want to look more French this season (and who doesn't, really?), keep scrolling to see Damas' styling and to shop capri pants and high-heel mules that'll give you that French-girl look in an instant.
