A light white short sleeve sweater ideally suits these high-rise wash blue jeans completed with brown leather peep-toe heeled sandals. An ideal combo for cold summer: Of course, there are always exceptions, but whereas baggy and casual clothing and athleisure looks are the norm here in America, I can count on my hand the number of times I saw leggings on the streets of Paris. And trust me when I say I walked everywhere. I’ve got the blisters to prove it! Weird flex, I know. I just returned from Paris and though my body wants to sleep, my eyes can always manage to stay awake to write about fashion. Paris is full of inspiration and my head is bursting with posts I want to write! But first, street style.

Embrace natural hair: Instead of styling your hair into an elaborate updo, try embracing your natural texture with a simple braid or a messy bun. This will add a relaxed, effortless touch to your outfit. Parisians have a strong sense of fashion style and strong personalities as well. Even if les Parisiennes love their basics and do not mind sharing them with half of the women in Paris, they also want to be unique and put a lot of effort into that. They create their own individuality through details by seeking vintage pieces and lesser-known brands ( “marques confidentielles”). Parisians exude confidence in their fashion choices and always leave the house feeling comfortable and self-assured. They just own it. That is the Parisian way.Scarves are another must-have piece and are perfect for wearing in the morning while the weather is still a little bit chilly. Plus, they dress up jeans and casual boots! Similar to the previous work look, a matching blazer and pant set paired with tights, oxfords, and a scarf is a go-to work outfit combination.

When it comes to investing in fashion, Parisians tend to choose luxury pieces that are timeless and will last a lifetime. Fine jewelry, watches, and designer handbags are always smart investments since they hold strong resale value or even appreciate value over time. In terms of style, they prove their longevity by staying relevant season after season. 5. Wear Neutral Tones Paris street style fall-winter 2023. Photo: Launchmetrics Spotlight.
