Layers are a great way to add a pop of colour and a stylish element to your outfit. While an obvious element of winter styling, layering is just as chic and practical in the warmer months. Add a knitted top over a blouse or drape a light cardigan over your shoulders for an elegant look that also offers a bit of refuge from those chilly summer air conditioners.
Accessorise
These glamorous Floral Stud Earrings are the perfect accompaniment to the colourful palette of our Jane and Serge collection
C’est romantique! Featuring freshwater pearls, this classic, princess-length necklace creates a timeless finish to any look. Inspired by the iconic duo Jane and Serge, elevate your look aujourd’hui.
Just as you would never leave your house without your keys and wallet, a French woman never leaves without her accessories. A bit of ornamentation can transform a simple T-shirt and jeans into a captivating and understated summer ensemble. The trick is to use your accessories to create a fluid colour palette that pulls the whole look together.
Wear comfortable dress pants

Perhaps one of French women’s best-kept secrets to effortless style is never to compromise on style for comfort or vice versa. There is a beautiful balance in choosing slightly oversized jeans or relaxed dress pants. Throw on a pair of jeans in stretch cotton or dress pants in linen to elevate your look while staying comfortable all day.
Trade plastic thongs for leather sandals
This multicoloured midi skirt features the delightful Jane’s Bouquet print of our romantique and stylish Jane and Serge collection.
Make it match with our Printed Midi Skirt and Printed Blouse featuring our vibrant First Bloom print.
Leather sandals are an essential element of the Parisian capsule wardrobe. From brunch in town to a weekend by the sea, leather sandals are easy to walk in, parfait for summer, and add a chic nonchalance to a dress or skirt. If you’re someone who loves to dress up but hates standing on heels all day, leather sandals have got you covered.
Choose natural fibres
In whimsical Blue Lake comes our Button Detail Linen Dress. A much-loved Blue Illusion style, this dress is crafted from 100% French linen making it comfortable, lightweight and breathable.
Featuring the wide leg silhouette we know you love, comes our 7/8th Linen Wide Leg Pant in Blue Lake.
Both French women and Blue Illusion will never compromise on the fibre of our clothes. This is because the drape, sheen, and comfort of natural fibres are incomparable to artificial ones. Often, even when clothes are the exact same design and price, the clothes made from natural fibres will just look more elegant, not to mention keep you cooler for longer.
Incorporate subtle details
Indulge in the elegance of our Jane and Serge collection with our Lace Embroidered Linen Top
Our flattering midi-length with a trapeze silhouette, this dress features moody aubergines and cool tones contrasted with white lace details and warm-coloured panels in peach and orange.
