People in Paris Will Wear These Trends With Jeans This Summer

Parisians are known for their effortless, no-fuss approach to style. As a result, this set often turns to elevated basics to act as the foundational elements for their chic looks. And yes, this includes jeans. That perfect pair of denim just always works and consistently brings that easy, je ne sais quoi feel to an ensemble.
The items French women pair with their favorite jeans run the gamut. There are certainly a variety of other basics that are go-to’s, but there are a few other trends people in Paris will turn to this summer based on what we’re already seeing on Instagram.
Below you’ll uncover the trends French women will wear with their jeans this season. You’ll notice everything from a few footwear selects to the shirting trend of the moment. Interested in adding something fresh to your own wardrobe? There are also inspired shopping picks (including A+ denim) sprinkled throughout.
Tube Tops
A tube top is cool and chic—especially with jeans. While you could go for a printed iteration like this one, a tube top in a solid color works just as well.
Cropped Cardigans + Slingbacks
There are two noteworthy pieces with jeans here. A cropped cardi is absolutely adorable if it's slightly chillier. You also can't deny the elegance of a pair of slingbacks to elevate any look.
Metallic Shoes
Metallic footwear is seriously trending—whether it's a pair of sandals or ballet flats.
Oversize Shirts
Relaxed shirting continues to reign supreme as a no-fail piece to wear with those favorite jeans.
