I Just Returned From Paris, and Now, I Want These 33 J.Crew, Zara, and Mango Items
I've long been well aware of how stylish French women are, but I hadn't witnessed it until I went to Paris for the very first time last month. I finally got to see firsthand why we all love French-girl style, and I get the hype even more now. There's something so effortlessly cool and undone about the way people in Paris dress, and I'd love to infuse a bit more of that into my own wardrobe. Accordingly, I've been doing a little shopping since I returned and found many items at J.Crew, Zara, and Mango that capture that effortless French je ne sais quoi.
As you know, French style is classic by nature, and Parisians walk a ton, so their wardrobes need to be able to accommodate that. The items I've been gravitating toward are casual, chic, and entirely wearable. Keep scrolling if finding items that check those boxes is your goal as well.
