You’ll probably know by now that we have quite the infatuation with French Girl style. The inherently chic, and laid-back aura that all French women seem to possess is something we constantly strive for. With the new season just around the corner, and plenty of style inspiration coming out of fashion month, I found myself on the hunt for new wish-listing inspiration, and who better inspire us than our favourite French influencers.
We regularly analyse and breakdown the key components that make up the foundations of French style, but for spring 2023, I’ve gone straight to the source to find the key pieces our French friends have their (very chic) eyes on. And boy, they did not disappoint. With an array of different personal styles from trend-setters to loyal classics, sweeping all the way from neutral hues to the boldest brights, this array of brilliant women have shared their must-haves for the new season, that all have the certain je-ne-sais-quoi that our French counterparts are best known for.
