This Over-40 French Woman Is My New Style Inspiration

If I had to choose two items to wear for the rest of my life, I’d most likely pick a pair of jeans and Converse. The thing is, how many ways can you make denim and a pair of sneakers look fresh? While I could come up with more than a few ideas, I like to look to the experts for interesting ensembles. Enter Valerie Tribes, a French journalist I follow on Instagram, whose love of Converse and jeans is just one reason to start saving her outfit ideas. Other looks she’s particularly good at wearing include the classic denim shirt, trench coats and Chanel slingbacks. The beauty in her style is that it’s just so French. It’s not overdone. It’s not overly fussy. It’s simple but chic. Ready to see some of her best looks? Keep scrolling, and then shop her key pieces.
