“I’m A Fashion Editor & Here Are 6 Looks I’d Wear In Paris”
Whether you’re sightseeing the iconic landmarks or perusing the wine bars and vintage boutiques of Le Marais, this is what to wear in Paris, according to The Handbook‘s Contributing Fashion & Lifestyle Editor, Astrid Carter.
Look 1
There is something so chic about white jeans in autumn and winter – and Paris is the perfect backdrop. Shirting brand With Nothing Underneath has just launched a seriously good denim collection, and they are perfect for nailing that effortless French fashion editor feel. Keep things pared-back with simple layers of grey knitwear, chocolate leather, and classic loafers made for clocking up miles on Paris streets.

Look 2
Paris may be known for its classic capsule wardrobe approach, but you can still have fun in the French capital. I would add some playful colour and stripes to dark denim, and some Isabel Marant-feel slouchy ankle boots.

Look 3
This is such a charming, very Parisienne look from Paris native Alice. Get the most out of your Bermuda shorts if you invested in them this summer and wear them while it is still warm, then swap them for a pair of straight-leg vintage 501s or tailored black trousers come autumn – both work equally well for a day perusing galleries and boutiques.

I always pack a faux fur jacket for a winter weekend in Paris; it just adds a bit of glamour to your daytime looks, and can be slung over a little black mini in the evening too.

Look 5
If there is one Instagram star who nails Parisian style every time, it is Sylvie Mus. Her pared-back, monochromatic wardrobe is the epitome of French style. I would wear this classic denim look for al fresco drinks at a chic Le Marais wine bar/great people-watching spot – throw on an oversized black blazer if it gets a little chilly.

Look 6
A little black dress, 20-denier tights, and knife-sharp pointed heels are my go-to for Paris after dark. Throw on a floor-sweeping black coat to cover up.
