The Iconic Trench Coat
If such a garment existed, the trench coat would represent Paris’s official spring uniform. It stands out as a stylish and lightweight option for sudden springtime showers. You can choose traditional beige or stand out with navy or olive green for a fresh look. Match your trench coat with straight-leg jeans and ballet flats to achieve an effortlessly polished style.
Style Tip: Secure the belt at your back rather than fastening it in front to achieve a nonchalant, cool attitude.

Breton Stripes: A French Girl Staple
The striped Breton top stands alongside croissants and facial expressions as quintessential symbols of Paris. To create a laid-back daytime style, pair high-waisted jeans with a tailored blazer and finish your look with loafers or ankle boots
💡 Style Tip: Want to elevate your look? Trade your sneakers for pointed-toe flats, or add some style with a silk scarf tied around your neck.
The Effortless Midi Dress
Parisian women favor flowy midi dresses which combine romance with effortless style. Think florals, polka dots, or neutral hues. Choose a cropped cardigan and ankle boots for cooler days, or pair white sneakers and a crossbody bag when taking a casual walk around the Eiffel Tower.
💡 Style Tip: A lightweight knit sweater worn over your dress and cinched at the waist gives you an immediate chic appearance.
