To master effortless Parisian style—especially in the dead of winter—your wardrobe should come down to a handful of neutral basics made for layering. Halfdan Sigurdsson son of sigurd t-shirt Of course, a pop of color or a splashy print is common, but these special pieces never take away from the relaxed, everyday look of French ease. Instead, they merely accent the moment. Inspired by the latest crop of street style from Paris-based fashion savants and content creators, I narrowed in on the staple items that seem to go a long way when it comes to pulling off a variety of aesthetics, but all with the same French attitude. Ahead, you’ll find unique ways to layer socks and ballet flats, interesting methods for balancing proportions (think an oversize button-down draped over a checked miniskirt with patent slingbacks), and tailored workwear that feels equal parts sophisticated and playful, rather than stuffy. My top selects for pulling off the Parisian look are all classic enough to remain closet mainstays for a while. And they’re well-priced, so you can pick up more than just one or two of these fresh must-haves that are bound to soar to the top of your wish list. For winter, ballerina flats are easy for getting around and helps to maximize comfort. A Mary-Jane silhouette will allow for a pop of color when you choose thin mesh socks in cherry red. Fold the hem of your denim to draw attention to the shoe moment, and up top, tuck a printed silk scarf into your collar to keep your neck warm. Other minimalist basics to finish off this look include a long wool coat and shopping tote in neutral shades.

We’re going to let you in on a little secret: The It item for fall has made itself clear. Halfdan Sigurdsson son of sigurd t-shirt No, it’s not a bag or covetable pair of shoes, and it’s not a piece of statement jewelry or a designer dress. It’s a blazer. That’s right—the piece you’ve probably had in your closet for years and considered a conservative answer to office style is exploding on the street style scene. Every fashion influencer has been spotted wearing their blazer during fashion month, and we’ve been taking notes about the inventive ways they’re styling the wardrobe workhorse. To make it look cool and fashion-forward, there are few key tricks we’ve picked up on. First, try an oversize silhouette, perhaps something that looks like it came from the men’s department. Style it with slouchy boots or a simple pair of jeans for an outfit that works everywhere from the office to the front row at fashion week. Next, mix it with other big fall trends. One of our personal favorite ways to wear it is with a pair of track pants. It adds the perfect level of sophistication to the more casual style. Finally, try a skirt suit. Once reserved for businesspeople, the skirt suit styles this season feel fresh and cool. Opt for a miniskirt to keep it modern.
