Everyone I Know Loves Parisian Style—These 5 Outfit Ideas Are Trend-Forward Yet Still Feel Classic

When I ask people (from friends to colleagues) about the style aesthetics they're into, "Parisian" is frequently mentioned. I mean, I get it. I too love Parisian style with that je ne sais quoi approach to dressing. Many in this Parisian set master the art of putting together ensembles that are somehow forward and relevant yet still classic and no-fuss. And below, you'll find just that.
I went through the Instagram feeds of stylish French women to uncover five outfit ideas to wear this spring that are trendy yet classic. You'll find looks that feature modern must-haves like sharp outerwear silhouettes, cool tailoring pieces, and beautiful shoes and accessories. Keep scrolling through for coveted Parisian style inspiration.
A striped knit will always feel classic, and the addition of a suede jacket brings a modern and very-right-now spin to this look.
This outfit is timeless and highly relevant with the classic trench coat teamed with dark-wash jeans and a white top. The scarf around the neck is a nice touch.
This ensemble could be described as cool and elegant. The relaxed shorts styled with the cashmere sweater is lovely for the season. The sock-and-boat-shoe combo is also noteworthy for spring.
"Soft power" is a major spring 2025 trend, with a focus on suiting in relaxed cuts. Ties are also having a moment as an It accessory.
This look is simple yet striking with the always-in-style white shirt and black skirt.
