French women certainly know how to dress up, but if there's a type of outfit they really excel at putting together, it's a comfortable one. And since winter is in full swing, let's talk about cold-weather looks that Parisian women love to wear. As far as winter weather in Paris goes, I'd compare it to the U.S.'s Northeast (but perhaps just a touch milder). All in all, there are plenty of opportunities to wear winter outfits.
The hallmarks of a French-girl winter outfit are that it includes chic outerwear and isn't constricting. The shoes (usually boots or sneakers) are walkable, and the accessories are cozy. Based on the following outfits, the French really understand the importance of layering in the winter, and they prioritize comfort more than being trendy. The classic outfits French women are known for apply in winter too.
Keep scrolling for nine excellent examples of the comfortable winter outfits French women rely on and shop key pieces to re-create them yourself.
