Simplicity is my middle name when it comes to summer dressing. Once the temps hit over 75, I’m all about leaning into clean and uncomplicated outfits that are easy to assemble yet still look polished and put-together. And there’s no-one that embodies simple, effortless, and chic dressing quite like the French.
I write about French-girl stylea lot on Who What Wear, and of course, I’m always getting inspired by their seasonal looks. This week I saved a handful of looks from some of my favorite stylish Parisians that I fully plan on stealing for myself this summer. I’m sharing them with you here today along with plenty of shopping picks so you can accomplish the looks for yourself. If you’re all about simplicity this summer, then take a peek below.
A classic little black dress is always a good idea. Opt for a simple silhouette in a lightweight linen fabric, and pair with chic ballet flats for an outfit that can easily be worn day or night.
For an effortless, zero-effort-required summer ensemble, go for a casual-chic matching set. Pair with elevated accessories.
Opt for an outfit comprised of elevated staples—a crisp white maxi skirt and a white tank, broken up with tan leather accessories looks seriously luxe. A relaxed stripe button-down finishes the look perfectly.
A black crew neck tee, white high-waisted shorts, and a raffia bag—it doesn’t get easier or chicer!
Stay cool in the sweltering heat in a simple minimalist white linen dress. Just add black mules and a silk scarf for a Grace Kelly-inspired look.
A chic vest and low-rise skirt feels fresh for a quick Parisian escape—the perfect sleek and summery outfit.
For an all black outfit that’s anything but boring, pair a silk black midi skirt with a tank and thong flatforms. Tie a white sweater over your shoulders to break up the look.
