Is It Just Me, or Did Harry Styles Replicate One of Our Most-Referenced French-Girl Outfit Formulas?
Harry Styles just wore the French-girl jeans formula I come back to at least once a week.
Is it just me, or does Harry Styles’ latest outfit look distinctly French? Perhaps I’m biased—I spend a not-insignificant portion of my day scrolling through French-girl Pinterest boards and keeping tabs on my favourite Parisians in the name of styling inspiration—but I couldn’t ignore the French-fashion person energy radiating from his latest look.
Stepping out in New York, the singer leaned into a series of polished staples that French wardrobes are built on. At the foundation, a pair of mid-wash straight-leg jeans, cropped just below the ankle. Paired with a relaxed navy knit and layered over a crisp white T-shirt, Harry's simple styling felt easy but considered—the hallmarks of a great French look.
Finishing the look with a handful of elevated essentials, Harry slipped into glossy black leather loafers, worn with tall white socks for a slightly preppy edge. Slung over his shoulder, an oversized leopard print bag added personality that balanced the outfit’s otherwise pared-back palette.
Easy and effortless in that, je ne sais quoi kind of way, Harry tapped into an outfit formula I find myself returning to time and time again. A navy knit, straight-leg jeans, sleek loafers and a hint of animal print—it’s simple, timeless and chic.
And, judging by this latest outing, the formula is just as relevant now as ever. If you’re tempted to try it for yourself, keep scrolling to shop Harry’s look below.
