Paris Fashion Week Street Style Was Perfectly French—Shop Our Favorite Looks

As fashion weeks progress from city to city, it’s striking to observe the wardrobe shifts of those attending. In Milan the crowd was inspired by the skirts and knits of Mrs. Prada, a local legend without a doubt. Yet, in Paris show attendees seem to have been influenced by the evolution of French fashion, with a modern twist. On the streets of the French capital, showgoers referenced 16th and 17th century garb through small details in shape, print, or accessories, mixing them with current styles.

The Best Street Style from Paris Fashion Week, According to Vogue:

Elements like a pussybow blouse done in denim from Loewe or a houndstooth overcoat from Favorite Daughter simultaneously feel plucked from the past and just right for today. Something as simple as a pair of brown leather gloves can make basics feel new. If you don’t believe us (or don’t believe you can wear it), check out our styling guide below packed with some of our favorite looks from a week in Paris.

Allez Les Bleus (et Les Rouges!)

A super-flowy red skirt takes on a new energy when paired with contrasting separates, like menswear tailoring and black boots.

Tactile Touch

Simple additions like sleek leather gloves and a red, knit neckerchief take this classic look of jeans and a bomber ever so slightly out of the ordinary.

Haberdashery Prints

The key to mixing prints in this old-school menswear-inspired look is pairing bold with subtle. Here, a graphic houndstooth takes center stage, while a soft plaid plays backup.

Put a Bow on It

A feminine bow blouse feels completely transformed when done in denim by Loewe. Lean into the sharp girlishness of this look by adding a black pencil skirt, heels, and a polished shoulder bag.

Macaron Shades

The look here is a mix of light, ethereal separates beneath a heavy plaid coat. A headscarf and unexpected houndstooth bag are just odd enough to pull the whole thing together.

Lady of the Modern Manor

Sleek, black leather separates leave punk and enter Parisian territory when paired with another bow blouse.
