As someone who writes about French-girl style in great depth (and is truly a French-girl at heart), I’ve become somewhat of an expert when it comes to what the French fashion set love to wear from season to season. In winter, they’re all about luxuriating in simple yet quality basics—think, cashmere sweaters, scarves, vests—which they layer in that effortless, nonchalant way we so admire here at Who What Wear.
