I can’t think of many things that are more quintessentially “fall” than autumn in Paris. It’s cozy and crisp and the typical classic style that’s so popular among the French is perfectly suited for the fall season. Striped sweaters, blazers, trench coats, and pleated trousers are staples of a French girl’s wardrobe, and all of these pieces are the building blocks of a great fall wardrobe.
Autumn is a historically busy time of year, so having a backlog of classic (and easy) outfit ideas is paramount. I took a scroll through the feeds of some of the most stylish French women on Instagram, and found nine outfits that are making me very excited for fall (after all, it’s the best outfit season of the year).
If you’re ready to kickstart your autumn shopping and outfit planning, keep scrolling for excellent French-girl outfit inspiration, and to shop the classic pieces that comprise them.
