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 never witnessed it for myself until I went to Paris for the very first time last month. I finally got to see why we all love French-girl style firsthand, 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 while shopping are casual, chic, and entirely wearable. Keep scrolling if finding items that check those boxes is your goal as well.
J.Crew
French women favor comfortable shoes that are also chic.
Wide-leg jeans are a favorite denim style among French women.
It doesn't get more French than this.
Pair these with kitten heels and a tank top for the most Parisian look.
Zara
French women have really embraced the shirtdress trend for between seasons.
Mango
