32 Pieces You Should Buy From Zara If You Want to Dress Like a Parisian
If Zara and French style are two of your favorite things, you've come to the right place. Zara has many options to suit every style type, but today I'm zeroing in on a classically chic aesthetic the French are known for. While I hate to generalize "Parisian style" as being all the same (it most certainly is not), there's no denying that many people living in Paris have similar pieces in their closets. After all, they're all working with the same climate and lifestyle that living in Paris provides.
With that in mind, I took to Zara's vast inventory in search of pieces I could absolutely see Parisians wearing (or even buying from Zara as they have stores all over the city). Among my finds are blazers, slip dresses, Mary Janes, denim, polished tees, and other wardrobe staples the French frequently wear. Scroll to shop them and snag the coveted French look (by way of Zara) yourself.
Just throw on jeans and ballet flats with this blazer, and you're done.
This is one of the many excellent tweed jackets you can buy from Zara right now.
The French women I follow on Instagram all seem to love a good miniskirt.
A simple shoulder bag is the only bag you need if you're going for the Parisian look.
These modern hoops are the perfect complement to any classic outfit.
