It’s definitely no secret that French women have this je ne sais quoi about them that makes them always look effortlessly stylish, regardless of what they’re wearing. One thing you’ll always notice about a French girl’s style is that less is always more and they always have a way of dressing cool while maintaining that undeniable French fashion that’s both trend-forward yet timeless and classic.
And while many of the popular French fashion influencers are frequent shoppers of Parisian fashion houses like Dior, Saint Laurent, and Chanel, they’re also fans of more high-street startups, which definitely need to be on your radar if they aren’t already.
So where exactly are these trés chic women shopping? Scroll on down to find out…merci!

What we love is each item is made with a touch of effortless French femininity— picture elegant detailing, scalloped sleeves, mother-of-pearl buttons, and more.

Maje is a great spot to pick up a few more unique pieces and pair them with the staples you already own.
