6. espadrilles
You can’t have summer style and French girls without espadrilles! French girls opt for the wedges in a neutral color with ties, while also favoring this brand.

Maybe not worn as much as the others, they still make their way into their outfits occasionally. And even as an American, I talk about how much I love them during spring and summer!
