If you’re in Paris right now (May), then the weather is going to go from a high of 68°F to the mid 70s pretty quickly.

And even if you’re not living in France at the moment, you’re probably starting to feel the change wherever you are.

It’s that time of the year when you start putting your favorite cardigans away and bringing out the lighter pieces.

But the real question is: How do the ridiculously fashionable French girls do this? What’s their method?

It feels like they have everything down, so they must be the experts on this very specific topic.

So here are just a few tips that’ll help answer this very pressing question.

1. They’re Going for More Natural Fabrics

Going for natural fabrics like a soft linen is always going to be a great way to level up your look, but also stay cool.

They’re more lightweight and comfortable which is exactly what you want in late spring and summer.

Also, if you choose right, you can get some great classic pieces that’ll last you for years. And that means you’re always gonna look amazing every time the warmer months come.

2. Grabbing the Right Accessories

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.

3. Loose Fits

Instead of grabbing that skin-hugging tank top, find a loose-fitting blouse, linen pants with an amazing cut, or a cute maxi skirt.

It’s a great way to look easily fashionable but with minimal effort.

Depending on the outing, having the right pair of fashionable + comfortable shoes is always going to be a good idea.

So when you pair some nice ballet flats, cute white tennis shoes, or espadrilles with a relaxed outfit, I think you’ll probably feel amazing. 🤷‍♀️

7. Colors and Prints
