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.
If effortlessly chic French-girl style is what you're looking for this winter, then J.Crew is the place to shop right now, especially its sale section. Right now, they’re offering a whopping 50% off all cashmere pieces on site (for a limited time only). I’ve scoured the entire sale section to bring you a tight edit of pieces that embody chic French girl vibes. Allez!
