What could be better than Parisian style? Not much! Well, unless you count Parisian style for summer! Espadrilles, wrap dresses, & straw bags, oh my! Thankfully a French style wardrobe is versatile, so these are the pieces you need to create the perfect wardrobe all summer season!

The Perfect Parisian Style Summer Wardrobe

1. espadrilles
Perhaps the “it” shoe of the season (every season), they add the perfect summer feel to any outfit and look great with skirts, jeans, and dresses!

2. basket bag/straw bag/ wicker bag
Channeling strong Jane Birkin vibes, a basket bag (or straw or wicker) is the perfect accessory that just screams spring and summer chic! It adds great interest and texture to a look too!

Easy, breezy, and beautiful (CoverGirl). Throw on a dress with a basket bag and espadrilles and you’re complete. Wrap dresses are especially popular!

6. cardigan
A knit cardigan for summer (if the heat allows) not only pairs perfectly with your flared denim, but the mix of textures look fab with a silk midi skirt.

7. strappy sandals
These shoes are pretty hot everywhere right now, but even if they weren’t trending, this is a really cute shoe style that looks great with anything!

8. slip dress
Just like the silk skirt, this slip dress seamlessly goes from day to night, depending on your styling. Grab one in a lighter color for day. Something like pink would be perfect!

9. printed skirt
If you’re not wearing a printed dress, you’re wearing a printed skirt! Tuck it in with a basic tee and it’s all kinds of casual cool.

10. gold jewelry
Simple pieces that complete the look! Look for dainty pieces that are great for layering. Pearls are having a moment right now too!

11. white top
Though you can still wear black in summer, white definitely becomes more popular. The milkmaid style is a go-to as well!

12. cropped and/or flared denim
Will French girls ever give up their denim? I think not. But then again, why would you want to?

Oh, and don’t forget your one piece or high waisted swimsuit when you hit the beach! Because after all, if you didn’t hit the beach, is it even summer? 😉
