Seriously, this style set emulates that desirable modern sophistication no matter what type of ensemble they step out in. Therefore, we often turn to Parisian women on Instagram for sartorial inspiration.

To get a sense of what we mean, keep scrolling to check out five of these must-try looks. Ahead, you’ll find unique casual vibes, more dressed-up situations, and everything in between.

For a polished vibe, try a classic black knit paired with a pencil skirt and of-the-moment knee-high white boots.
If you really want to go for it, consider a leopard skirt and a vibrant pink blouse. Western-inspired boots complete the look.
Yes, all black can be forward and interesting. Case in point: this ensemble with a cardigan tucked into wide-leg trousers.
