Looking chic while staying warm...pretty much everyone's winter goal, right? Good thing we can take style notes from Parisian women, who effortlessly manage to do both! After scouring the web for outfit inspo, I put together this list of what makes up a Parisian winter wardrobe!
Parisian Winter Wardrobe
I can't say this is everything, but it's pretty darn close. I'll also be leaving some authentic French brands that you can shop from too, so stick around till the end!
COATS
puffer coat
I must admit I'm a little surprised to see a puffer coat on a French woman, as I normally thought it gave off American ski resort vibes, but they make it look good and it's making me think I could give it a try. What about you?
elegant outerwear
Puffer coats are great for more laid back outfits, but no wardrobe is complete without at least one elegant coat. In this case, elegant means something long in a high-quality fabric.
faux fur coat
These coats are fun to wear because not only are they warm, but they add great texture to your look and it leaves room to play around with prints too- like a leopard print coat!

Parisian women believe that oversized is chic and that every wardrobe should have a mix of feminine and masculine pieces! These blazers are great for layering too and look fabulous over a sweater.
