From her penchant for mixing prints to her love for loafers, scroll down to check out the fashion of one France’s coolest women.
A scarf looped once around the neck is always chic.
Pairing plaid, stripes, and gingham are a great way to take your pattern play to the next level.
When in doubt, stick to basics, and let your shoes stand out.
Wear your cropped pants in chillier temperatures by pairing them with tall socks.
Flared pants are great for balancing out your hips.
Layer two statement necklaces for a major accessory moment.
It's all about the small details, like a bright belt and frayed hem.
Investing in a quality button-down shirt is always a wise choice.
