If a French Girl Wears a "Basic" Outfit, It Includes These 5 Staples
I probably don’t need sit here and go over why French girls inspire many of our daily looks. After all, I cover this set’s covetable effortless style on the regular. While I recently wrote about the “ugly” trends and Zara items Parisian women love at the moment, I thought I’d focus next on the actual staples that give those classic French outfits that je ne sais quoi.
To dive into the particulars, I tapped a French girl I follow for her chic, basic outfit ideas. Aïda Sané, the mastermind behind @basicstouch, filled me in on the items she consistently turns to when she’s building a simple yet elevated look. Her overall take on basics: “I always want to look chic, but I don’t want to throw my money toward every trend I wouldn’t wear a few months later, so I rely on five specific basics to create easy outfits.”
So with that all in mind, scrolling to uncover those staple items she relies on for her basic French outfits, and shop the essentials in question as well.
“Having a modern blazer in your wardrobe is a must if you have a meeting, an interview, or just a dinner with your friends. The basic goes with everything, but I often wear mine with my favorite pair of jeans, a basic tee, and a pair of square-toe heels.”“I’m not a huge fan of prints, so I rely on black-and-white tees because they’re easy. I can wear my basic tees with everything from skirts to jeans to tailor pants—but I’m loving the monochromatic looks right now with all white or camel in particular.”“A trench is definitely a must in my wardrobe. While they’re great when it’s raining, I actually wear mine as an everyday coat—especially with this midseason when you don’t really know what to wear as a coat.”“I’m into high-waisted jeans, as they compliment my silhouette and I feel comfortable in them. Straight jeans, in particular, are the ‘skinny’ for me, as I like that they look more mature and elevated than skinny jeans—which I used to wear a lot. I wear my favorite pair from Topshop often with a basic tee, sneakers, and—depending on my mood or the weather—a blazer or trench coat.”“I know that not everyone is a turtleneck lover as much as I am, but I’m quite sensitive to cold, so personally, I’m obsessed with them. Like the basic tee, they go with everything in my wardrobe. You look instantly chic and put together pairing one with an oversize coat and jeans, or with simple tailored pants. Again, quick and easy.”
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
