The Ultimate French-Girl Outfit

Front-Tie Blouse

The It top of the season among French girls, a printed front-tie blouse is both flirty and summery.

Cropped Straight-Leg Jeans

Never taking denim (or anything) too seriously, Gallic girls love calf-grazing jeans in a roomy, vintage-inspired, straight-leg silhouette.

Espadrille Sandals

A great alternative to heels during warm weather, espadrille wedges provide height and European charm.

Straw Bag

A woven top-handle carryall is a must-have for summer.

Cat-Eye Sunglasses

A bit of retro flair completes the French-girl look.
