basic french

We all know that French chic is effortless chic. What we don't know, however, is that it's actually easy to emulate. Simply with Paris' currently-all-the-rage classics: lived-in denim, a tweed check blazer, an statement trench or coat, and low to mid-heeled boots or pumps. For extra points, throw in some tousled hair (try my go-to OUAI Finishing Creme to execute!). These recent street style snaps highlight some right-now favorites, including this Levi's denim jacket (immediately below), a key layering piece; these distressed SLVRLAKE jeans (everyone I know is obsessed with them!); this AYR denim shirt, this perfectly-oversize Everlane check blazer (this Zara also good!); these outfit-making trenches by Veronica Beard Scotch and Soda, and Pixie Market, or this straightforward forever-stylish Reformation; and lastly, everyday-elegant boots by Saint Laurent and Schutz.
