2—White details. The French love the freshness of little white accessories, like shoes, belts, and scarves. Try some white booties for the ultimate Parisian mod look.

3—Trench with a graphic T-shirt. The French-girl staple is a tucked in T-shirt with a nice statement belt. Pair it with a boxy trench coat when you need some of that je ne sais quoi.

Fur collar. The Europeans love their neutral colors, but a pop of color like the one on this coat is the perfect way to stand out and look chic AF (as French, duh!).

White-on-white. A cozy cream-color fuzzy coat is the best way to express your inner French fashion icon, like Jeanne Damas.

That iconic hat. While at one point wearing a beret may have been deemed cliché; nowadays it seems to be the “it” hat for trendsetters around the world. So do as the cool girls and the coolest girls (aka French women) do and top off your look with a beret with no shame whatsoever.
