Channelling classic elegance with a sexy chicness all-in-one, Parisians are known for their effortless, fashion-forward ‘fits, finding a unique, contemporary twist in traditional looks that elevate their style from standard to sensationally sophisticated.
Looking to bring a certain je ne sais quoi to your existing wardrobe? You’ve come to exactly the right place. Here’s 10 Parisian style essentials to help you embrace your inner French girl, as seen on your favourite fashion influencers…
1) Coquette-Inspired Embroidery
Inspired by the French word ‘coquette’, which loosely translates as a ‘flirtatious woman who knows how to flatter men’, Hannah Gale reimagines the coquette aesthetic in 2024 with a delicate white midaxi dress, embellished with intricate broderie details and scallop-edged sleeves to ensure that elegant, feminine touch.
2) Nuanced Neutrals
Keep it coy with muted neutrals that still manage to do all the talking. Eve Pecak wears an understated tank top and figure-hugging midi skirt in tonal shades, cinched at the waist to ensure an interesting silhouette that flatters in all the right places.
3) Monochrome Moments
Prepare to make a statement, wherever the city of love takes you. Flora’s monochrome outfit is nothing short of heart-stopping, pairing a tailored waistcoat and trousers with soft nude accessories for the perfect hint of tint.
4) Shop-Stopping Simplicity
Channelling her inner Emily Cooper, Sophie Apps conveys effortless Parisian style with this structured, high-neck mini dress. The dress itself stays true to traditional French girl sophistication, upgraded with exaggerated black bow detailing at the hip to instantly catapult her look into the 2024 trendsphere.
5) Elegant Exposé
Ensuring the epitome of elegance, Eve shines a spotlight on her décolletage in this black midi dress born straight from our Parisian dreams. The exaggerated off-the-shoulder sleeves create a flattering fit that’s sure to captivate anyone she meets on her city adventure – exactly as a true French girl knows how.
6) Swishy Silhouette
A trend that transcends from city to city, get lost in the frill of it with feminine ruffle detailing. Liv Purvis’ tiered-effect maxi dress brings an effortless, carefree vibe to her look, injecting a touch of bohemian personality into everyday style that can be dressed up or down, no matter where the day takes you.
7) Sleek Hair Accessories
Embrace your femininity and elevate your look with hair accessories to complement your style. We love Hannah’s sleek low bun, punctuated by a decorative fabric scrunchie for an extra touch of class.
8) Corporate x City Chic
Take your look from desk to dancefloor with officewear that doubles as chic intercity fashion. Presenting the perfect ensemble for an evening of exploring Paris’ most bustling nightlife, Sophie Apps combines a tailored waistcoat with a tennis-style skort for a truly on-trend silhouette.
9) Trending Prints
Just because it’s already trending, doesn’t mean you can’t make the style your own. Hannah does just that in her luxe leopard-print ensemble, taking her look to Parisian perfection with statement oversized sunglasses and an eye-catching cream clutch.
10) Evening Eleganza
Own any Parisian rooftop with an evening dress that knows how to stun. Flora keeps it ultra-classy with a silhouette-enhancing black maxi dress, revealing one shoulder for a subtle pop of skin.
