As the weather warms, it’s time to rebuild our wardrobe essentials for the coming season. There’s no better place to start than denim—the quintessential French basic.

The Classic Straight-Leg

The classic straight-leg jean remains the most popular style of denim in Paris. They offer that perfect balance of figure framing but are slightly oversized. They’re effortlessly cool and flattering. It’s easy to understand why French women love these jeans as you can simply style them with a white T-shirt tucked in and a pair of heels or loafers and look amazing just like that. However, we also love the elegant nonchalance of a blouse and straight-leg jeans.

 

A Mid-Length Denim Skirt

A denim skirt is one of our préfère ways to switch up the classic French girl look. Summer in Paris this year was full of mid to maxi-length jean skirts, and we fell in love. It’s so easy to style this elegant and understated basic with our Texture Twist Blouse, flats, and a chic clutch, et voilà!

Cropped Jeans

Never underestimate the power of light-wash denim to brighten your summer wardrobe. This shade is young, fresh, and uplifting. We love how it pairs with cropped denim, another French summer favourite. A white shirt and statement earrings look so sophisticated with cropped denim, perfect for a coffee date with friends or a weekend barbeque.

White Denim

Summer is the season for white denim, and we look forward to it every year! There’s just something a little more elevated and chic about white denim. Bien sûr, you can also effortlessly pair these jeans with a neutral T-shirt and flats, but we love how they look with a bright pop of colour. Pair white jeans with a light cardigan and matching earrings or a vibrant blouse and silk scarf to celebrate this joyful season.

Dark Denim

A straight pair of black or dark wash denim looks cool and sophisticated for work and effortlessly takes you into the evening. We often see women on the streets of Paris pair dark denim with a neutral T-shirt and blazer or a feminine blouse, gold heels, and a structured clutch.
