Just when I thought I had my fall outfit ideas sorted for fall, Paris Fashion Week rolled around and armed me with a whole new set of inspiration to draw from. This week, the temperatures in the city dropped to actual fall digits, and the fashion set has followed suit by throwing on all of their stylish layers. That means everything from cozy, chunky knits and over-the-knee boots to jumpsuits and high-waisted trousers.
To say that I’ve been taking notes is an understatement. My phone is currently flooded with screenshots from Instagram with the pieces and outfits that I can’t wait to try out for myself. Ahead, I’ve rounded up some of my absolute favorites looks from PFW on the street style scene. And here’s the great news: I’ve also shopped out each look so you can try it out for yourself.
If you're wondering how to style tall boots, this outfit is for you. A matching top with a miniskirt and a pair of boots that hit just at the hem is perfect.
A cool nod to the '80s.
Miniskirts are essential in my book.
Affordable thigh-high boots I can get behind.
Here's another genius way to style tall boots.
Start out with a sweater in a pretty blue shade.
Pair it with tailored floral trousers like this perfect pair from Attico.
Then, add some sleek boots on top. Done.
Here's an outfit that shows the easiest way to pull off bold color.
Start out with a chunky knit in an electric hue like this orange style.
Then add a pair of pink trousers. The colors don't seem like they'd work together, but they just do.
Tie everything together with a neutral white shoe.
Speaking of neutrals, this is the Parisian way to pull them off.
A jumpsuit is a French-girl must.
Layer a tan jacket over it for the fall months.
And Chanel ballet flats? What could be more French?
Classic and always in style.
More neutrals but this time with a super-modern twist.
Start out with a simple tee.
Then, add your tan trousers to the mix.
Next, layer a sculptural belt on top.
Finally, add a cool bag in shades of tan and brown like this fashion-girl staple from Loewe.
