I'm a Boy, Love French-Girl Style, and Want to Try These 5 Basics They Wear

I, like many out there, covet French-girl style. What can I say? There’s just something so appealing about that je ne sais quoi vibe. And sure, many Parisian men have that same effortless approach to fashion, but given that much of my day-to-day is spent researching and writing about women’s style, I actually tend to gravitate toward their specific aesthetic. Honestly, even though I’m a guy, I often find myself saving various French-girl outfits on Instagram to potentially test out in my own day-to-day life.

Given that the Parisian set often leans into simple yet chic silhouettes, they tend to wear a lot of elevated basics. And after scrolling through some of those saved pics on IG, I came to the realization that there are five key simple items that I too want to incorporate into my own wardrobe to try at some point down the road.

Curious? Keep scrolling to uncover a bit of visual inspiration if you too are intrigued by those basics French girls rely on. And if you’re shopping at the moment, you’ll also find some product recommendations for women and men.

The classic white button-down shirt is reigning supreme this season. While I have a standby style in my closet, I’m intrigued by those slightly more offbeat silhouettes, such as an asymmetrical cut or unique sleeves like this French girl is wearing here.
I can’t remember the last time I wore a tank top. However, fashion people—the Parisian set included—continue to embrace ribbed tanks this season as a simple yet chic basic. I’ll probably test one out as a base layer with an open button-down shirt.
I’ve been a fan of the oversize-tailoring trend for a few seasons. I often see French girls testing out the look in fresh ways either in the form of chic full suits or as separates. I want to invest in another slouchy blazer to bring that easy sophistication to my simple outfits.
Like I mentioned before, the white-denim trend is intriguing me as a fresh update to the standard black jeans I wear on repeat. This look is inspiring me to just go for it with a cool pair of white jeans or trousers this spring and summer.
It’s certainly been a while since I introduced a polo shirt into my rotation, but I’ve been inspired by those vintage-feeling polos the fashion crowd has been stepping out in. I especially love the ribbed iteration on this French girl here.

Next, check out the style mistakes French women never make.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

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...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

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...
