5 French Girls and Their Winter Outfit Ideas
There’s a reason we chat about French girls on the reg. Their style is just where it’s at with that pared-back approach to fashion. No matter the season, this crew consistently pulls together cool outfits that are simple yet forward in nature. We’ve been paying close attention to the style moves the Parisian set has been making this winter, in particular. As it turns out, they’re bringing us exactly what we want with fresh and effortless ensembles.
If you’re feeling inspired to do it like the French, keep scrolling to see the five winter outfit ideas worth noting right now. You’ll be one step closer to passing for Parisian.
It's no secret that plaid is everywhere this season. Follow AnneLaure's lead and go for a checked coat, a henley top, straight jeans, and boots for an on-trend yet easy look.
Known for stepping out in simple yet impactful ensembles, Jeanne Damas didn't disappoint with this winter outfit. The cropped faux-fur coat adds texture to the coordinating sweater-and–flared pants look while the brown suede boots tie the entire vibe together.
For a more dressed-up yet chill 'fit, try Lina Ose's ensemble with a matching knit sweater and skirt, plus very right-now coordinating snakeskin accessories. If it's extra-cold where you are, throw on a structured coat for good measure.
Bundle up like Camille Charrière with an extra-long shearling coat, complete with longer distressed jeans and platform boots.
This outfit is polished with the checkered pants yet chill and cool with the puffer and "ugly" sneakers—basically the look we want to live in all season long.
