30 H&M and & Other Stories Finds That Have That Chic French-Girl Look
I've been a Who What Wear editor for over eight years, and I've been writing stories about French style since basically my first week on the job. It just goes to show that it remains as popular a theme as ever. I think this is at least partially attributed to the fact that French style, in general, is as classic and wearable as can be. French girls don't rely all that much on trends, so when that's your style inspiration, you can feel confident knowing that the pieces you invest in will remain relevant season after season.
Two brands that you've probably heard of are actually two of my favorite sources for French girl-inspired items: H&M and & Other Stories. (& Other Stories even designs many of its pieces and regularly shoots its campaigns in Paris, so how's that for authenticity.) If you keep scrolling, you'll see that I selected some of the most "French girl" fall items on offer at H&M and & Other Stories right now, just for fun. Join me in shopping to your heart's content.

When it comes to color, French women seem to love red.
Another sort-of cliché French-girl item they actually wear. (Just don't pair it with a beret and a baguette.)
Fuzzy knit sweaters such as this are both a trend and a classic.
& Other Stories makes the best affordable pearls in the game.
I'd advise ordering the matching skirt too.
Next up, nine classic fall outfit ideas, courtesy of French girls.
