6 Basics That Will Add a French-Inspired Twist to Your 2020 Look

From classic beige to bolder hues and updated versions in leather, pinstripe, and plaid, the blazer serves as a polished top layer.

Skip ultrafitted pants and head straight for a looser, wide-leg silhouette. It's relaxed but never sloppy.

Accessorise with a bag that evokes an old-school mood. We love these styles spotted at Paris Fashion Week, which include box silhouettes, top handles, irreverent objects, and flashes of gold.

Stripes are synonymous with French fashion, but this set is all about reinventing the way we wear this print.

When it comes to adding a French twist to your look, opt for a low (or no) heel.

Finish off your outfit with the most timeless piece of all: the trench coat. Wear it on your shoulders, belt it to create shape, let pops of print peek through, or dress for the weather in PVC.
