I love Parisian style. I especially love Parisian style during the Fall season. Paris, the city of love and fashion, has long been a muse for those seeking timeless style inspiration.
Of course, there are a range of inspiring ensembles, but there are specific pieces that are a staple in the French wardrobe. French women work from a slew of basics, buying the highest quality they can afford. And they mix and match those pieces to create an endless amount of combinations.
Fall French Style
There are certain pieces that are spotted more frequently than others. Parisians, in particular, have mastered the art of timeless dressing. They incorporate these pieces with on-trend, seasonal pieces to create the ultimate Parisian look.
Trench coats and straight leg jeans first come to mind. These two pieces are the foundation for plenty of Fall outfits.
Scroll below for 8 pieces that are the essentials for the Fall French wardrobe.
1. Trench Coat
No French fall wardrobe is complete without a classic trench coat. It adds a touch of elegance to every outfit.
A sleek trench coat is a wardrobe mainstay that can last until the early Winter months.
2. Relaxed Shirts
A crisp, white shirt should be part of any women’s wardrobe.
Although any color would work, an oversized white button down embodies the effortless chic French aesthetic.
3. Knit Dresses
As the temperatures cool, opt for a knit sweater dress.
Besides being comfortable, it is tres chic.
Finish off with a trench coat, crossbody bag and boots to complete the look.
4. Blazers
The double breasted blazer is an essential Parisian item.
Throw it over jeans, miniskirt, or a maxi dress for an easy and elegant look.
5. Wide Leg Trousers
It doesn’t take much to make wide leg trousers look sophisticated.
They can be styled with sneakers and a simple tee for a relaxed vibe.
6. Leather Jacket
Leather jackets add a certain edge to any outfit.
Parisian women wear leather jackets over dresses or with a pair of trousers for an edgy feel.
7. Ballerina Flats
Ballerina shoes, and its close cousin the Mary Jane flats, have become a popular choice for footwear on the streets of Paris.
These shoes are a classic footwear, but have enjoyed a popular resurgence as of late.

Straight leg jeans, whether wide leg or not, are a favorite of Parisian women.
French women tend to choose jeans that are clean and not distressed.
