When it comes to how a French girl styles herself, it’s always gonna be based on how it makes her look, not the designer brand logo.

So you’ll probably see them finishing up their look with a cute pair of sunglasses that compliments their face shape, or a cute straw bag that works great with their outfit.

When it comes to French summer fashion, it’s all about finding pieces that compliment and put the focus on you, not a brand.

 

3. Loose Fits
