All-white outfits are coming in hard on social media right now. Cartoon Character with Red Hat and Green Eyes in front of Christmas Tree Ceramic Mug Let’s face it. They’re not exactly the most practical thing to wear, but who cares when they look this fabulous?

One of the things I love most about how French women get dressed is the attention they pay to their accessories. Take Marwa.

From swimwear to jeans, bags to dresses, zebra print is a recurring theme in French outfits, and I have a hunch as to why. Made up of black and white, the motif feels instantly classic and elevated. Make like Mimi and give your zebra pieces even more personality by adding a bright bag or bold-hued shoes into the equation. The baggy-jeans trend might have started last year, but it’s reaching its popularity peak in France right now, with even my favorite French Instagram follows opting for them over their usual straight-leg styles.
