Being born and raised in London, I’m not ashamed to admit that I often look to French fashion girls for outfit inspiration. Whether they’re relaxing in the south of France or strolling around the busy city of Paris with a coffee in hand, they just have a way of making Everything Look expensive. So on my most recent trip to the city, I made sure to pay extra attention to the fashion staples that the most sophisticated Parisians were wearing.
And naturally, as soon as I got back to the UK, I decided to head to the high street to discover French-coded buys that I’ll be adding to my capsule wardrobe this summer. Almost instantly, my basket was filled with a myriad of French-it-girl-inspired items that are stylish, easy to style and, most importantly, look far more expensive than their high street price tags. My personal advice on mastering the art of Gallic dressing? Focus on elevated silhouettes in versatile colors that manage to effortlessly balance both on-trend appeal and timeless beauty. But if you’re looking for a quick way to dress like a pretty French girl this summer, luckily for you, I’ve rounded up 27 of the best French-girl-approved high-street shopping options to add to your basket this summer.
Happy shopping!
