Bonjour mesdames (Hello ladies)!
The golden days of August are here and with them beckons stylish ease. No one does summer better than Europeans so for this season, one must embrace the timeless allure of Parisian chic with our guide to summer outfits that effortlessly transition from park picnics to rooftop soirées.
Trouser shorts
The elegant older sister of jean-shorts or “jorts” as the youth call it. Its versatility is unmatched - dress it up with a statement necklace and heels for an evening out, or keep it casual with sandals for a daytime adventure. Remember, for hot summer nights (and days) comfort is key so choose a pair that has a flattering silhouette and space for movement.
Waistcoat/vest
It's a revived classic you could never go wrong with. Go for loose and boxy for a more modern, androgynous look or a waist-cinching fit for a chic and polished aura reminiscent of 90s fashion. Pair it with denim to give it a casual it-girl touch or with a matching skirt for your more sophisticated looks.
The Flowy Skirt
Embrace the summer heat with a flowy layered skirt reminiscent of European summers. Opt for breathable fabrics like linen or cotton for maximum comfort or elevate your look with an intricate lace! Throw on a casual shirt or add a chic blouse to finish the look.
Patterned Scarves
The Parisian accessory powerhouse. Parisians know the transformative power of a scarf. Tie a silk scarf around your neck for elegance, or add a pop of color to your hair with a playful bandana. Scarves are the ultimate versatile accessory, allowing you to personalize your summer look in countless ways.
Straw-everything!
A summer treasure that keeps coming back. This timeless piece can be matched with any outfit to add that summer je ne sais quoi. From bags to hats to shoes, this is the ultimate summer staple that will never go out of style.
Oversized Sunglasses
Parisians are famous for their effortless mystery. A pair of oversized sunglasses adds instant Parisian flair to any summer outfit. Choose a style that complements your face shape and personal taste.
Red, red, red!
Both a classic and a trend that isn’t going away any time soon. Opt for wine-red Mary Jane ballet flats for comfort without sacrificing style and make the coquette trend aesthetic your own. Substitute the little black dress with the little red dress for a snazzy take on the elegant classic. Go for a more toned-down look with a burgundy outfit. Dab on that red lipstick for a finishing touch.
