Being able to easily style jeans has to be one of the best life hacks for 3 reasons:

  1. You and everyone else out there already owns a pair (or ten) which means no running out to get a random pricey piece.
  2. If styled just right, they can be acceptable in a lot of situations.
  3. It doesn’t take a lot (at all) to elevate them into an outfit that makes you look chic.

And if you and I are gonna learn about how to style jeans, then we might as well see how the French women are doing it.

It’s a no-brainer. Their everyday wardrobes are amazing and they know how to style clothing staples so well.

Also, the French women are synonymous with good fashion, so why not just see how they’re causally styling jeans?

Ridiculously simple and something you might already be able to pull off today.

Pairing your favorite denim with a flowing or well-fitted blouse, and some elegant but casual ballet flats is such a great way to pull off that French girl look.

You know, looking effortlessly chic, but without all the fuss.

I have and always will be a big fan of coats.

They’re such a great way to easily make an outfit so much more fashionable.

And when you put a nice fitting pair of good-quality jeans with a flattering trench coat and heels, you can look amazing in probably under two minutes flat.

So find your signature coat and you’ll be able to add that Parisian touch to your look.

 

3. A Blazer + the Right Shoes

This is an iconic look that gives you that more modern vibe, and one that you can do it in any number of ways:

  • A well-fitting or oversized blazer
  • A more muted or bright colored blazer
  • Heels
  • Sandals
  • Ballet flats
  • Rolled up sleeves

The list goes on and can change depending on the season.

And honestly, this combination really is a great way to pull off the Parisian style without putting in a ton of effort.

4. Chic Tank (Or Body Suit)

Whether it’s a tank or a body suit, pair it with your favorite jeans, layer it with a cute jacket or cardigan, and you’re all set.

Pretty simple, but another great way to look casually fashionable and get that laid-back vibe for those warmer days.

5. Long Coat & Ballet Flats

Grab any one of your long coats, a pair of ballet flats, some good jeans, and maybe a blouse and you’re all set for the day.

It really is a simple way to look fashionable and do something a bit different than the normal jeans and T-shirt.
