@slipintostyleBoth pieces look chic when paired with other items, but when you get them together in one look, you really can't go wrong. Keep your shirt open over a cropped tank to combat the summer temps, and balance out the tailored trousers with sporty-looking flip-flops to be on-trend for the season.
Hanes always makes great staples, and this one from its collab with Re/Done is the perfect white summer tank.
Rectangular sunglasses are continuing to have their moment.
You really can't argue with the ratings and reviews on these platform flip-flops. Your feet will thank you.

@annelauremaisThe ballet flats of your high school days are back, but French girls are all about the ballet mules. Just slide them on, and you're ready to walk out the door. Another summer accessory that's basically mandatory for Parisians? A good ol' bandana. You can wear it around your neck, as a hair accessory, tied to your bag—the possibilities are endless.
Ah, yes, another oversized button-down, but this time in a classic baby blue.
A straw tote with leather straps is ideal for those weekends at the farmers market.

@emmanuellek_Loafers aren't just for fall and winter, you know. When you wear them with frilly socks, a silky dress and pearl jewelry, you can consider them just as much of a summer shoe as any lace-up sandal. If you're planning on walking for most of the day but don't want to wear sneakers, these are it.
Between the puff sleeves and the bow at the waist, it's hard to pick a favorite detail on this pink mini.
The leg slit and billowy sleeves on this midi keep things breezy.

@sabinasocolWhen you think of French fashion in summer, it's easy to picture walking along the banks of the Seine in a printed sundress—gingham, floral, paisley, polka-dotted, you name it!—with a slim baguette bag under your arm. And if that is *exactly* what you pictured, then I'm happy to report that those are the exact pieces popular among Parisians.
This halter dress with its plunging neckline yet sweet dotted pattern is the best of both worlds.
A neutral shoulder bag with a bold closure will be your best friend.
Slip into these embroidered block-heel slides that are basically made for the season.
Nothing like a pair of classic gold hoops to accessorize your sundress.

@leasy_inparisHigh-waisted wide-leg jeans (especially ones with patch pockets) are the key to looking effortless this summer. Plus, the silhouette ensures your legs get some air in hot temperatures. And maybe it's cliché, but it's true: A straw bag is the Parisian-approved summer accessory.
This stylish pair is available in straight, tall, petite, and plus sizes.
You can't talk about French fashion without bringing up this Loewe straw bag. If this is the season you're splurging, you might as well invest in this one.
This option is super soft and breathable and also has a UPF 50+ for extra sun protection.
It doesn't get more classic than these Ray-Bans. (It's in the name.)
