Want a wardrobe full of French-inspired basics but don’t know where to start? Start with these iconic, hero pieces. These items can’t be missed as you build a wardrobe full of versatile pieces that will stand the test of time!
This inspiration is taken from Sézane, one of my favorite French retailers. They’ve created an “essential” page for you so you can see all the basics you should start with. They call them the “French heroes” and they’re not wrong! They’re the heroes of my wardrobe too. Even though I’m not French. 😉
This is not sponsored by the way. And though Sézane is high quality, some of their items can be pretty pricey, so I’ll link to a more affordable version as well!
