What do the French women’s autumn essentials include?

In the “Mecca of Fashion” that is Paris and all of France, if you ask me, you’d expect the residents to feel the need to constantly flaunt couture creations. Still, even if their clothes may have been signed by recognized designers, the everyday pieces of French women are based on versatility. So, they may not wear couture clothes all the time, but the innate style “flows” in their blood and is what always fascinates us in their appearances, even if they support the classics of the wardrobe.

This also applies to the autumn essentials of the wardrobe, which even if they are based on a timeless design, always have a modern mood. This is because they pay attention to details.

Either combining them together for effortless, stylish looks, or mixing them with more statement pieces, aiming for more unique ensembles. Embracing, therefore, a minimal wardrobe, they can offer multiple outfits. Nothing stops us from doing the same.
