A French girl staple, the biker jacket has been a mainstay in many French style icons' wardrobes. Invest in a lambskin leather one for that extra worn-in look that will make people think you've had this jacket for years.

2) The Designer T-shirt

French women try to stay polished, even when popping off to the shops or if they're doing a grocery run. A designer t-shirt and fresh white kicks help pull together even the most casual of outfits. Pair with a leather drawstring purse that will fit all your essentials.

3) An Oversized Varsity Jacket

Varsity jackets have been beloved and worn by almost every style icon out there — from Princess Diana to Lisa from BLACKPINK. It's a great way to lean into the "retrosport" aesthetic and is a great alternative to a denim jacket.

4) The Bootcut Jean

Gen Z might have declared skinny jeans over and low-waist jeans back, how about a compromise with mid-waist bootcut jeans? Not only are they universally flattering, a dark wash looks put together for a night out when paired with a tuxedo jacket.
