• Black cat-eye sunglasses

Try to walk by Café de Flore, and there is a good possibility you will see a French woman with cat-eye sunglasses, highly likely in black. Black cat-eye sunglasses are nearly universally flattering. We have seen them on many faces and can say that it compliments all face sizes and shapes.

Indeed, ageless white button-down blouse will be considered a French-girl staple. However, most French girls will advance their shirting offering with those balloon-sleeve blouses in rich solid shades and elevated fabrics to finish their sophisticated ensembles. 

• Cropped cardigans

Cardigans could be deemed a rollover trend throughout the last seasons, but it will continue to become a timeless item in the wardrobes of the coolest French girls. This season, the cropped silhouettes will be the most sought for a playful yet stylish vibe. 

• Buckle bags

Did you know that French women often carry basic yet fashionable handbags? This will most possibly keep that trend going but improve their handbag, offering a bit with silhouettes featuring trendy buckle accents like the ones we saw in the collections from Proenza Schouler and Gucci. 

• Leather belts

A basic way to connect your outfit together like a French girl is to cover your waist in a leather belt. Try to pick one with a vintage brass or distressed gold buckle. Remember that the less shiny, the better. 

Brown and black are all you need to start with. However, you can also opt for a red leather belt to complete your look, especially if you’d wish to expand your French girl accessories. 

• Silk scarf 

Keep in mind that a silk scarf is considered a classic French accessory. Hermes is the most popular retailer in such scarves, but you can always hop on the trend like a real French girl by purchasing a vintage silk scarf. 

• Black dress

The little black dress is surely a must-have in any wardrobe, no matter what style you currently have. It’s the ideal piece for weddings, night outs, date nights, cocktail parties, and even weddings. 

There are no rules about this one. You can have short or long, with or without sleeves, turtleneck, or V-neck. French girls will normally go for the short length, which they layer along with a jacket or long coat. 

When in doubt about what you should wear, always remember these basic yet strong fashion essentials that French girls always wear.
