8 French Style Updates That Have Replaced The Classics
image

Parisian style has long held allure. Dishevelled, but polished, French women have an insouciance that’s associated with breton tops, Chanel and skinny jeans. But luxury resale site Vestiaire Collective has collated research into the shopping trends of its French customers and it seems that their taste is changing – from more relaxed silhouettes to a newfound love of red. See the findings below and take your style cues accordingly:

Traditional muted colours and monochrome shades are out in favour of bold reds. A pair of Converse adds a relaxed edge.

Traditionally, Parisian women have long been known for their penchant for boyish tailoring, which offers an effortless look. However, more feminine silhouettes have taken the lead with oversized sleeves and cropped flares growing popular.

Masculine accessories

With silhouettes taking a more feminine form, there’s been a surge in masculine accessories which juxtaposes the look. Among the most popular pieces are Church’s loafers or boyish watches.

Forget the skinny, French women are investing in new denim shapes – from the straight-leg to the cropped flare. Vintage Levi’s, for example, have seen a search increase of 300 percent compared to last year.

The market basket, made famous by Jane Birkin who wore hers in Paris in the 70s, reflects a more vintage French style and has proved to be the summer’s must-have accessory. The basket bag has seen a 350 percent increase in searches since last year.
