From Celine Dion singing from the Eiffel Tower at the Olympic opening ceremony to the premiere of Emily in Paris season 4, all eyes have been on the French capital for the past six months. Emily Cooper’s theatrical costumes often feel more surreal than dramatic, but for a more authentic look at Parisian style, you need to book a flight to Charles de Gaulle there is no. Thanks to Instagram, you can see in real time what the city’s most fashionable women are wearing, and you too can pretend you’re all dressed up for an afternoon stroll through the Marais.
The international success of French brands such as Sezane and Rouje shows that a commitment to French style is a powerful commercial force. French fashion influencers and Parisian It girls have successfully turned the endless fascination with French women’s clothing into a career opportunity. Jeanne Damas and Anne-Laure Mais have amassed hundreds of thousands of followers by sharing their very fabulous, very French lives, and both have used the platform to launch their own clothing brands. I raised it.
Pop culture might lead us to believe that French women live their lives in a uniform of Breton stripes, Chanel, and berets, but there’s more to Parisian style than these tired clichés. It makes sense. While it’s true that French designers tend to focus on effortless, simple styling and timeless, elevated basics, many of our favorite French influencers have a strong focus on color, print, and , I also love experimenting with sportswear. Among the hundreds of accounts we follow, we decided to turn to these six French creators to tell us everything you need to know about style. The first lesson is to ignore the stereotypes and find your personal style that you feel most confident in.
Follow these six French Instagram accounts that more accurately reflect Parisian attire than Emily Cooper.
