I have Who What Wear's shopping director, Bobby Schuessler, to thank for putting this chic summer outfit idea on my radar. Since it crossed my path, I've been committed to re-creating it this season. The look is from French It girl, Anne-Laure Mais, during a recent trip to New York City. As always, she effortlessly pulls off multiple trends in one outfit. In this case, the focus is all on her lace-trim skirt and flip-flops.

Below, I break down Mais's look, which is perfect for those warm days when you don't want to think about what to wear. I also included an extended list of lace-trim skirts worth considering this season. Another aspect of this inspiring outfit worth pointing out, is the lovely mix of light-pink with reds and burgundies—Definitely, a noteworthy color combo worth keeping in mind for future looks. Keep scrolling to check out and shop the French-inspired summer ensemble.
