Ah Paris, the land of baguettes, gooey fromage and effortless chicness. With its je ne sais quoi energy, the City of Light is arguably the most stylish city in the world.
A visit to the romance capital of the world is a wardrobe opportunity in itself, whether sipping espresso at Café de Flore or perusing the ateliers of Avenue Montaigne.
The Parisian aesthetic is built on timeless classics: the trench coat, crisp shirts and structured tailoring for example.
Elegance is most certainly on the menu with refined neutrals favoured over loud colour palettes.
Glamour? Sure, but paired with undone hair and just a slick of lipstick so it looks like you made absolutely no effort at all, you just look naturally, absolutely fantastique.
Quiet Luxury has palpable French undertones and cashmere sweaters and ballet pumps (Chanel, naturally) are right at home on a jaunt down the Champs-Élysées.

No one wears a white shirt quite like the French, pressed to perfection and paired with something unexpected like a maxi skirt fit for a black tie dinner.

The French love to push the envelope, so follow suit with a slightly scandalous logo tee and oversized sunglasses so you can avoid making eye contact with anyone.

We’re such big fans of this mushroom toned three piece suit as sported by supermodel Joan Smalls for a Paris Fashion Week appearance. Paired with a perfect slick back ponytail.

There’s something so delightfully Audrey Hepburn about going on a jaunt on the cobbled Paris streets in a cropped pair of trousers and statement top

France is the home to so many delightful dairy products so why not pay homage (or fromage, if you will) with a corresponding colour palette, worn top to toe.

Take your inspiration straight from the Saint Laurent catwalk and opt for a power blazer with 80s inspired shoulder pads teamed with a midi dress that screams femininity in contrast.

What to pair with your oversized trousers when in Paris? Obviously a supersize tote that you can stash all the shopping (aka baguettes) you will inevitably invest in on your trip.
