Here are 18 outfits to inspire your spring fashion (and mine) this season, whether you’re traveling to Paris or not! And though the majority of these outfits use the same wardrobe staples you may already be wearing in your day-to-day life, you know what they say…everything looks better in Paris. (That is what they say, right?)
18 Spring Parisian Outfits from French Women

2. white t-shirt + blazer + jeans + gold pendant necklace
If you’ve got the basics, what else do you need really? A white t-shirt feels transformed with a classy blazer, while jeans keep the whole look pretty casual. A gold pendant necklace adds just enough to elevate this look.
3. slip dress + blazer + basket bag + gold necklace
A blazer adds structure and coverage to a slinky slip dress. The infamous Jane Birkin-inspired basket bag adds a touch of warm weather Parisian chic to any outfit.
