French Inspired Outfits For Summer

Summer style is all about laid-back pieces, which are effortless, comfortable, and chic. Today, I am sharing 7 French-inspired outfits and pieces I will be wearing this summer season.

French girl summer style is easily attainable and all about wearing certain pieces to elevate your basic summer outfit. Pieces you probably already have in your closet.

These are all outfits you can easily wear out to dinner, to the farmers market, to lunch with friends, or even a summer evening picnic.

7 French Inspired Outfits For Summer

Navy Puff Sleeve + Wide Leg Jeans + Gold Sandals + Raffia Bag

Navy is such a classic and chic color to wear during any season. It’s a color that pretty much looks great on everyone. Navy is also a color you will see a lot of Parisian women and men embracing.

I love the puff sleeve of this navy Veronica Beard top (I am wearing medium), the v-neck is also flattering. The wide-leg jeans are from MOTHER denim (I am wearing true to size).

They are incredibly chic for a pair of summer denim, add your favorite gold sandal, and a raffia bag for a timeless combination for the summer season.

Eyelet Top + Linen Trousers + Sandals + Bucket Bag

A classic summer combination is a white eyelet top and linen trousers. This ba&sh top (I am wearing a medium) is beautiful and timeless. You can easily dress it up or down.

The linen trousers from & Other Stories ( I am wearing my normal size of 6), are classic linen pants for the season.

This outfit is easy, and simple, yet still elegant and feels light to wear on hot summer days.

Black Dress + Belt + Sandals + Bag

Love this LBD which can be worn in several ways for summer. Wear it with a belt (I wear size 80), and espadrilles for a dressed-up look for lunch or a work meeting.

The second look can be worn with a French basket bag for market runs and lazy afternoons. The black and brown belt actually comes with the dress ( I sized down one size in the dress).

Navy T-shirt + Jeans + Stripe Sweater + Gold Sandals

During the summer season, for those evenings when there can be a chill in the air, drape a sweater over your shoulder and a basic t-shirt.

The Conrad T-shirt is one of my favorite styles (I wear a medium), pair it with denim, gold sandals that elevate any outfit, and a market bag.

Chic, classic, and timeless for dinner out with friends or nights on the patio.

Linen Shorts + Linen Button Down + Gold Sandals + Raffia Bag

These days I much prefer longer linen shorts compared to shorter shorts. You can still be classic and comfortable in shorts for the summer season. Just go with a longer inseam.

I like to stick with an inseam of around 5.5 inches like these shorts I wear in my usual size. Pair them with a linen button-down, gold flats, and a raffia bag.

White T-shirt + Flare Jeans + Scarf + Gold Sandals + Market Bag

Add a scarf and gold sandals when you want to wear a basic T-shirt and jeans but elevate your outfit a bit.

This is a vintage Celine scarf I picked up at a flea market in Paris one spring. You can easily add any scarf to complete your look.

There’s nothing easier and more classic French than adding a scarf to your basic T-shirt. The gold sandals are my favorite ones I wear them in my usual size all season long.

Satin Relaxed Tee + Twill Pants + Ballet Flats + Leather Bag

Classic summer outfit with white twill pants ( I sized down), a black satin relaxed tee ( I sized down in this), a pair of ballet flats, and a black leather bag. The pants are a bit longer so I rolled them up for an easy and laid-back look.
