These Are the Only Sneakers French Women Wear

Regardless of your stance on the years-long French-girl style obsession, you have to admit that they have plenty of easy outfit ideas up their chic sleeves. In opposition to the stereotypes in which French women only wear ballet flats and espadrilles, many of these easy outfits involve sneakers.

We've published dozens of stories about French-girl outfits over the years, so you probably know the drill there, but perhaps you're curious about their sneaker-buying habits since they've become such a staple shoe style in their wardrobes. Accordingly, we scrolled through hundreds of chic French-girl outfits and kept seeing eight specific sneakers on the streets of Paris and beyond. As expected, most of them veer classic, but there are a few trendy surprises in the mix, and all are relatively affordable, which is always a plus.

Keep scrolling to see how the French style their favorite sneakers and shop them for yourself.

The only actual French sneaker brand on this list, Veja is beloved around the world for its minimalist, classic white sneakers. 
Chuck Taylors give any outfit they're paired with that cool vintage edge that French women love.
There's no surprise here, as the entire world has been enamored with these New Balance sneakers for over a year now, the French included.
Nike Cortez sneakers give a cool '70s vibe that feels very fresh right now. They're a bit hard to find these days, though, so if you find a pair, snag them.
These canvas sneakers will truly never go out of style, so you might as well buy them in every color.
These celebrity favorites are also French-girl favorites right now. They look especially good with baggy jeans. 
Yes, the New Balance 990v5s are the reigning It sneakers, but all New Balance styles are also It sneakers. French women are well aware of this.
Another canvas classic, Vans Old Skool sneakers are a clear favorite (especially of French girls who love '90s fashion).

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...
