A pinstriped blazer and a bouncy blow-dry are ideal transeasonal pieces, in our opinion.
When it comes to spring colours, we’re returning to buttery yellow as a novel alternative to white. Enhance the look with statement silver jewellery.
Black, white and a quilted bag: it’s not a new idea but we’ll always return to its elevated ease.
Spring calls for an upgrade on standard animal prints – a pair of zebra print trousers invigorate a classic trench coat on bright March days.
We’re considering a pair of capri leggings for spring, seeing as they pair so perfectly with pretty blouses and statement Mary Janes. Speaking of shoes, if in doubt, a vibrant red pair always works.
A grey knit, jeans that cut off in just the right spot and square-toe ballet flats might be the perfect spring outfit. Swap out a suede bag for a woven one if you’re craving some more texture.
Whether you choose a barrel shape, a balloon leg or a louche boyfriend style, French women balance things out by teaming a statement leg with a fail-safe two-tone kitten heel.
A statement blouse isn’t just for teaming with jeans. Get extra mileage out of yours by pairing it with a lace-trim slip skirt.
Channel Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy – the French way – with a knee-length skirt and a structured but sleek handbag.
Speaking of the Carolyn look, this tan suede skirt is very on brand. (Shop Massimo Dutti’s Bessette-inspired edit here.)
We always note how Parisiennes elevate wardrobe staples with aplomb. Let this be your reminder that the humble white shirt (this one is from Sézane), needn’t be dull.
On the topic of shirts, Canadian-in-Paris Monica de La Villardière teams her salmon pink style with brown: an unlikely colour combination worth trying for the season ahead.
