When it comes to styling, sometimes less really is more, and no one seems to understand this better than actor Laura Harrier. Consistently creating outfits that have me wondering how wardrobe basics can look so good, Harrier has—on many occasions—inspired some of my most pared-back yet chicest looks.

Stepping out in yet another simple yet elevated ensemble, Harrier chose a relaxed blue button-down to form the foundation of her look. Leaving her shirt untucked and partially unbuttoned, she leaned into the casual nature of the piece. In a rich blue shade, the Spiderman star's button-down is a true staple that brands up and down the high street are backing this season. With a billowy silhouette and versatile styling options, it can be worn neatly tucked into high-waisted trousers or left semi-indone and paired with denim, à la Harrier.

Wearing hers with a pair of low-rise baggy jeans and blue velvet flats, Harrier chose understated yet hard-working items to complete her look. Adapting to the bright L.A. sun, she selected a trending pair of oval sunglasses to accompany her easy outfit. Whilst Harrier often selects designer pieces for her day-to-day styling, this ensemble is entirely shoppable on the high street, which is great news for me, as I'm looking to re-create it this week.

From the similar-looking shirt I found at H&M, to COS's in-demand Volume Jeans, read on to discover and shop Laura Harrier's affordable blue button-down outfit below.

The new year means fresh new trends. And while we've already put together the 21 spring/summer 2023 trends worth knowing about, there are some trends that are flying a little more under-the-radar. Denim is timeless, but that doesn't mean there aren't certain styles that are dominating more than others this season. Giving your jean collection a refresh is an easy way to give your outfits a lift and who better to pave the way for the denim cuts, colours and styles to look out for than some of our favourite celebrities?

Let's deep dive into the 2023 jean trends celebs are backing then, shall we? First we have Bella Hadid, who is backing 90s grey wide-leg jeans, then Zoë Kravitz who is sticking to classic straight leg pairs and finally Hailey Bieber, who has just been spotted in the jeans everyone will be wearing next year. Add to this the French-girl-approved denim style which has also been worn by J Lo, along with the coolest jean favoured by the likes of Tracee Ellis Ross, and you get the five jeans trends to try out in 2023.

Scroll on to discover the celebrity jean trends that will dominate in 2023, as well as my favourite styles to buy now.

1. Grey wide-Leg

Style Notes: We haven't seen grey jeans doing the rounds for a while, but Bella Hadid is bringing them back. And who are we to argue? To achieve the cool-girl vibe, it's all about slouchy wide-leg pairs with a 90s-style high-waist. 

Shop the trend:

2. Cargo

Style Notes: Cargo pants in general have had a huge revival of late, so naturally jeans are getting added pockets, too. Hailey keeps hers casual with a knit and trainers combo, but they also work so well with a fancy top and pointed-toe heels. 

Shop the trend:

3. Classic Straight-Leg

Style Notes: Proving you can't beat a classic, Zoë Kratitz looks effortless in blue straight-leg jeans. The universally flattering pair will never fail, no matter which season/year we're in.

4. Slim Flared

Style Notes: A celebrity in the fashion world, Jeanne Damas (founder of fashion label, Rouje) is the French-girl to follow. In a sleek pair of slim-leg flares, Jeanne keeps the look polished with a lace blouse and simple accessories. 

Shop the trend:

5. Baggy 

Style Notes: We can always rely on icon Tracee Ellis Ross to deliver some style inspiration. This time, we're taking tips from her denim wardrobe with these super baggy jeans. You can always size up in a wide-leg pair to get that loose-fit look.

Next Up: Spring/Summer 2023 Fashion Trends: The 21 Looks You Need to Know About

As a fashion editor, I spend the better part of my day researching trends. When it comes to outfit trends specifically, there’s one prominent look I’ve continued to spot throughout all of my sartorial explorations over the last few months: Okay, you may already know it (given that we've covered it in various ways before), but here it goes: a slouchy blazer, basic top, and blue jeans.

That’s right—it seems celebrity and fashion people all got the memo this season that this simple yet polished outfit formula is the only look that matters when you need a directional and cool ensemble that doesn’t try too hard. And while A-listers like Hailey Bieber and Emily Ratajkowski (along with It girls during Fashion Month) routinely stepped out in this three-piece fit throughout 2020, my gut tells me the ensemble will only increase in popularity over the next few months as more and more catch onto the effortlessness of the vibe. So with that, I’m deeming it the official fashion uniform right now—and in 2021.

To back this all up, I rounded up a range of my favourite celeb and fashion-girl outfits showcasing the various iterations of this chic ensemble. Keep scrolling to get inspired to try the look once and for all. Plus, find new ways to style the uniform you’ve already been wearing. And per usual, I also shopped out the key pieces for each outfit for further inspo.

For a classic yet modern vibe, team a slouchy blazer with a lightweight turtleneck, cropped jeans, and booties.

On Emily Ratajkowski: Zara booties

Try a fancier blazer made of silk or velvet with an on-trend multicolor turtleneck, straight jeans, and sandals or mules for a simple yet impactful night-out vibe.

On Jasmine Tookes: AFRM turtleneck; PrettyLittleThing denim

Lean into the other It look of the moment by stuffing straight-leg jeans into mid-calf boots with that slouchy double-breasted blazer.

On Elsa Hosk: Chanel tee; Prada bag

Elevate your favourite pair of blue jeans with a white blouse, a black blazer, and statement heels.

On Caro Daur: Amina Muaddi heels

Live somewhere slightly warmer? Pair a slightly cropped tee with a longline blazer, distressed wide-leg jeans, and vibrant heels to catch compliments.

On Hailey Bieber: Acne Studios blazer; Maison Margiela jeans; Balenciaga bag and heels

Further proof that you can legit toss a blazer over any outfit (including a simple denim-and-blouse fit) to appear impossibly elegant and chic.

Who: Jeanne Damas

Work in a more creative office setting? Test out the formula for that 9-to-5 life by pairing your blazer with tailored jeans and heels.

On Katie Holmes: Giuseppe Zanotti heels

A shorter blazer in a luxurious fabric like tweed brings an elegant twist to a casual silhouette.

Who: Brune Buonomano

A boxy grey blazer brings just the right amount of polish to a standard jeans-and-tee ensemble.

On Kaia Gerber: Jacquemus jacket; Re/Done jeans

Next up, the biggest spring/summer 2021 fashion trends to know.

This piece originally appeared on Who What Wear U.S. 

Parisian It girl Jeanna Damas is known for her cool take on French fashion, and her style is unwavering. Rather than test-driving the latest trends to hit the runways and the street style scene, she approaches fashion from her own point of view. What that means is that she’s often spotted in the same staples, but in new silhouettes and prints each season.

Damas epitomizes the laid-back French approach to style, and her outfits are a lesson in how to pull it off. So what are the pieces that she stocks in her closet? Below I’ve highlighted the seven-piece Jeanne Damas French capsule wardrobe. If you’re inclined to try out Parisian style for yourself, these are the essentials you’ll want to add to your shopping basket. Go on to see how Damas styles them and shop the capsule collection.

Ankle Boots

No matter what time of the year, ankle boots are a French-girl staple you’ll find in Damas’s closet. 

Wrap Dresses

Dresses in a wrap silhouette are one of the pieces you’ll spot Jeanne Damas wearing most often. Her fashion label, Rouje, has a range of silhouettes in cool colours and prints.

Strappy Heels

Throwback strappy sandals are one of the biggest trends of 2019, but that isn’t why Damas is wearing them. You’ll see her wearing the staple time and time again.

Cropped Flares

The aforementioned ankle boots and strappy sandals are a favourite Damas pairs with cropped flares on repeat.

Cardigans

Cardigans are another huge trend for 2019, and they just so happen to be a Damas favorite. Look to her for cool ways to style the unassuming fashion trend.

Printed Skirts

When Damas isn’t wearing a wrap dress, chances are she’s swapped one out for a printed skirt. Paired with a colourful tee, it’s the ultimate vacation essential.

One-Piece Swimsuits

Speaking of holidays, Damas seems to always pack a classic one-piece swimsuit—whether in a solid black colour or a print.

Featuring light thrifted-style cardigans, silky tops, wrap dresses, and many perfect pairs of jeans, this collection has Jeanne's summer wardrobe written all over it.

When it comes to hair and makeup, Jeanne Damas is the epitome of French-girl beauty. She's a self-confessed lazy girl when it comes to her routine, but that's probably why we're so into it. Damas never looks like she's tried too hard. Her classic (and signature) pillowy pout is always painted, lashes always curled, and hair soft and natural. But other than that, Damas never really switches up her beauty look. She's found what works and has remained true to it, and it's that low-key beauty we're totally in awe of and obviously want to re-create ourselves.

We know that her cleansing process and daily hair styling is at the minimal end of the scale, but her beauty look has become so recognisable that it made complete sense for her to launch a beauty offshoot of her successful fashion label, Rouje. It includes the most "Jeanne" item of them all: red lipstick (available in many hues). Keep scrolling to see eight times Damas was our ultimate beauty icon, plus the beauty products she is never without…

Sure—it's no secret that Damas loves a red lip. But we're totally into her '60s-style nude lipstick. Plus, those earrings… 

Damas has previously spoken about her technique of using the same lipstick shade as her blush, and we reckon that's exactly what she's done here. The berry blush-and-lipstick combo ties her whole look together (it's the lazy-girl makeup hack #1).

Who said you can't wear lipstick to the beach!? Damas's blotted pink lip teamed with zero eye makeup and damp wavy hair gives a chic update to the usual boho-beach vibe.

Probably the most done-up we've ever seen Damas, but we're totally into it. A tiny touch of eyeliner, a seriously matte nude lip and bouncy waves… Damas has '60s siren nailed.

Low-key but seriously chic, keep layering red lipstick over itself with your finger to get this blotted powdery pout finish.

The half-up, half-down hair—neatly brushed up brows and everyday nude lipstick—makes this a winner for daytime beauty.

Mixing up her go-to red, this hot fuchsia lipstick is an all kinds of chic. 

Soft sleek hair + an easy red lip + zero eye makeup = it's Damas's winning formula.

Jeanne Damas is just so French. Understandable, considering she is a Parisian by birth, I know, but as we’re sat in Who What Wear’s new Russell Square townhouse for an exclusive shoot with the model turned street style star turned designer, there’s a palpable difference in l’attitude. I’m up and down from my laptop like a yo-yo, firing off emails, multitasking like a whirling dervish, regretting what I wore today for our shoot (seriously, this weather). Meanwhile, Damas—who arrived on time, without a scrap of makeup on, looking completely I-can’t-even-make-eye-contact levels of glorious in a recognisably “Jeanne” ensemble of checked blazer, jeans, navy top, gold Michael Vivien sandals and a little straw bag with a book poking out—is sipping a black coffee, reclining on a desk chair to the point where it’s most comfortable to just have her long legs up on the table as she casually takes her morning phone calls and messages.

In advance of the photo shoot, there were no demands or caveats to our time with her. No hairstyling today either, thanks—Jeanne just spritzes water on her ends, scrunches and goes. And absolutely zero fuss about what she will or won’t wear for the pictures. Damas is the laid-back style icon of any editor’s dreams, needing only 20 minutes of makeup (to put this into context, regular human beings require at least 45) before throwing on her first look and heading straight out onto the street to be photographed. She laughs. She chats with the entire team. She looks cooler than cool. We get the shots wrapped up an hour ahead of schedule.

On Jeanne Damas: Rouje Johnny Jacket (£197) and Juliette Trousers (£134); Frame Victorian Ruffled Blouse (£250); Staud Grace Velvet Tote (£195); Laurence Dacade shoes; Stone Paris earrings; Lucy Williams x Missoma necklaces

This unpretentious, alluring effortlessness is precisely why the fashion world—and basically anyone with an Instagram account—has fallen for her and contributes greatly to the success of her fashion line, Rouje. While the purchase of one of her affordable printed dresses will definitely edge you closer to nonchalance, the truth is that effortlessness has to come from a genuinely relaxed, organic place.

“I’m lazy, you know,” says Damas of her method. The “French are not crazy about fashion. It’s true—we know we love fashion, and I have a fashion brand, but it’s not my life, and I don’t know, I can’t speak for everybody, but for me, I know what’s good on me. I know exactly what to wear every morning. I know that I love a big sweater or men's clothes with a mix of feminine clothes. It’s inné, do you know what I mean?”

Innate: a great example of which would be the 25-year-old’s approach to dressing for the wedding season: “So if I go to a wedding, I love to be the most simple,” she says, rejecting the preposterous idea of a fascinator or the usual trappings that come with formal attire. “Me? I love to wear big fluid pants, a shirt, have my hair looking normal, and a big red.” (That’s Jeanne’s delightful English expression for scarlet lips.) “When you come like that everybody looks at you because you are so simple.”

On Jeanne Damas: Magda Butrym Forli Blouse (£714); Rouje Sabina Jeans (£117); Zara Cap (£16); Attico Tulip and Zebra Pouch (£240); Laurence Dacade Plume Boots (£771)

“It’s funny because I have done this book about Parisians, and in the book, I wanted to break the cliché because for me, Parisian girls are not at all the most stylish,” Damas says, much to my surprise when I ask her why she thinks girls across the globe are so fascinated by French style. “When I go to New York or even London, I see way more stylish people than in my city. In general, French girls are not sophisticated.” Yet the minute a new Rouje drop lands online, the POA for chic women everywhere is get it or regret it.

Within two days of the first collection arriving in 2016, it was gone, only to be disseminated across the world via selfies and thanks to the hashtag #girlsinrouje. “We were surprised, and we were like ‘oops!’” says Damas of that first season’s runaway success, not expecting (even with her 633K-strong personal Instagram following) that they’d ever need to try to produce more stock. The team is now planning to make larger quantities for 2018: Don’t expect her pieces to become so available that you can buy them in bulk or that they’ll become ubiquitous, but from what she tells me, it’s looking likely that you’ll finally be able to pick up that ultimate summer frock.

On Jeanne Damas: Isabel Marant Eley Coat (£795); Rouje Remi T-Shirt (£44); Topshop Check Miniskirt (£34)

For those who aren’t yet acquainted with the cult brand, the easy, chic designs come from real-life inspiration Jeanne picks up anywhere and everywhere, naming the pieces after her nearest and dearest (even her boyfriend, Pilou, has a mannish jacket dedicated to him), and creating the line with her good friend and an established name in Parisian fashion, designer Nathalie Dumeix. When Jeanne was younger, her father was a chef at the famous Parisian bistro Le Square Trousseau, which just so happened to have Nathalie’s boutique next door. After school, Jeanne would go to Nathalie’s atelier—not to talk about clothes, but about boys and life—and a friendship was born.

On Jeanne Damas: Rouje Felix Faux Fur Coat (£170); Acne Studios Raine Sweater (£410); Ganni Leclair Dress (£260); Dior bag; Zara Velvet Boots (£80)

Damas would occasionally be photographed for the brand and, a little later on, after she started to “become famous on the internet,” she knew that Nathalie’s involvement in her label would be essential. With the “same eye, the same sensibility, the same taste,” this dynamic duo basically concoct Jeanne’s perfect capsule wardrobe of 30 to 35 pieces every six months.

Despite Damas being “scared” of actually having too many clothes, she does reveal that her new, larger apartment in the Republique area of Paris features a walk-in wardrobe—“like Carrie Bradshaw, you know?”—and with Jacquemus as one of her good friends, plus fashion houses such as Miu Miu and Valentino keen to dress her, one could imagine even SJP feeling a pang of jealousy.

On Jeanne Damas: Magda Butrym Forli Blouse (£714); Rouje Sabina Jeans (£117); Zara Cap (£16); Attico Tulip and Zebra Pouch (£240); Laurence Dacade Plume Boots (£771)

True to her pragmatic nature, however, Damas does adhere to biannual clear-outs, donating to a French charity, Emmaus, as well as redistributing wares to friends and family—her mother and sister being the ones who get first dibs. “Now that I have my brand, all my friends and my sister and my mum, we have all the same [items], so we have to call each other before to say, ‘Are you wearing the skirt?’”

Even with those measures in place, it’s not unheard of for Jeanne and her mother to be seen twinning on the outfit front. One particular Instagram image stays in my mind of the two wearing matching snug blue tops and high-waisted jeans—Damas tells me they really do share the very same look (often stealing each other’s clothes) and that her mother was her first major fashion memory.

“She was not working in fashion, but she was really stylish,” says Damas. “She doesn’t look like me—she’s blonde with curly hair—but I was so proud when she would get me from school when I was a kid because she was this strong woman always with a floral dress [on] with Sergio Rossi or Pierre Hardy shoes—heeled shoes—and she was really confident and smiley.” Funny, that does remind us of someone…

We love the way French girls dress. We've made no secret of that fact. So when there's a brand that gives us an easy way to do it, we'll always be ready to invest. Case in point is French brand Rouje, which was launched by It girl Jeanne Damas last year. Every new collection sells out almost immediately, with key pieces making their way onto some of our favourite street style stars.

This season, Rouje has done it again by offering us up some incredibly chic and easy-to-wear skirts, dresses (see Jeanne Damas in the new collection, above), blouses and knitwear for A/W 17. While the brand has cornered the market in pretty tops and frocks, there are also suit jackets and smart trousers, plus a few winter coat options that will make any outfit look amazing. While not everything is available yet, keep scrolling to shop the latest collection, and see the pieces you'll want to buy the moment they're released.

Next up! The biggest A/W 17 fashion trends you need to know about. 

The impulse to show a little extra skin in the summer is usually borne out of necessity. Sure, denim cutoffs aren't exactly the most original thing to wear during a heatwave, but can you blame a girl for not caring when it's 100 degrees outside?

Ditto my new top obsession: While I might not usually opt for necklines that dip below the sternum, nor garments secured by a flimsy bit of string, I can't shake the feeling that I need a tie-front top in my life right now. Maybe it's the weather, or maybe it's the fact that every painfully chic Parisian I follow on Instagram seems to own at least one of them (usually the Bianca by Insta-famous Aussie brand Réalisation, which comes in eight different prints and colours).

Skimpy as the style may be—and some versions are definitely more bra-prohibitive than others—the sleeves balance out the extra décolletage, and with the addition of high-waisted jeans (or, yes, jorts), the flash of midriff is nothing if not seasonally appropriate.

Keep scrolling to shop our favourite tie-front tops and see how French girls are styling the trend.

Style Notes: Anne-Laure Mais is just one the many French girls loving Réalisation's Bianca blouse.

Style Notes: A cropped, tie-front top and a pair of jeans is the ideal sightseeing outfit, as proven here by Camille Charriere in Marrakesh. 

Style Notes: Take a tip from Jeanne Damas (who's wearing her own Rouje "Leon" top here) and team your tie-front blouse with high-waisted denim shorts for the perfect vacay outfit.

Next, the 46 most amazing things have arrived in time for payday.

If you haven't heard of French street style star and model Jeanne Damas, prepare to be obsessed. She has that cool Parisian thing nailed, with the ability to make a grey T-shirt and pair of Levi's look like the coolest outfit on the planet. Seriously, though.

If you are a fan of the French-girl look, then you need to follow Jeanne (of course, she has a cracking Instagram). Sidewalk snaps from fashion week can look a little OTT, but whether she's at a Dior show or running errands, Jeanne Damas wears simple ensembles anyone can replicate. She relies on a few hero items—including silk blouses, red accessories and ballet flats—and she ensures that everything she owns coordinates. The result? She has an efficient, chic and practical wardrobe.

Jeanne has turned her impeccable style into a serious business, too, as she has launched her own clothing line called Rouje, which is sold exclusively online.

Scroll through the gallery below to see 11 of our favourite Jeanne Damas outfits, and then shop her look.

Style Notes: Jeanne proves that sometimes nothing looks as elegant as a white silk blouse, skinny jeans and patent heels.

Style Notes: Just when you think you couldn't want a check double-breasted blazer anymore, you see Jeanna Damas wearing this perfect suit with a camisole.

Style Notes: When it comes to trousers, flares are a key silhouette for Jeanne, and she almost always has a pair of gold hoops in her ears.

Style Notes: Jeanne Damas often wears just jeans and a T-shirt, but they don't have to be a white or grey tee, as you'd expect from most French girls—here she wears a zesty orange one, which clashes with her red handbag.

Related: French Girls Went Crazy for These New Jeans

Style Notes: This is the Parisian way to do nonchalant sexy dressing, wearing a loose plunging blouse with cropped jeans and red lipstick and messy hair.

Style Notes: When it comes to shoes, Jeanne has an impressive collection of suede ankle boots.

Style Notes: Jeanne loves bold red accessories, whether that is a Roger Vivier handbag or a pair of red pumps.

Style Notes: Jeanne often uses belted tailored jackets to accentuate her waist, and she is a fan of floor-skimming wide-leg trousers.
