Destination Inspiration: The Key Items To Nail Parisian Chic

It's the city that has given us some of the biggest names in fashion and has been synonymous with all things style for centuries...

Paris is one of the (if not the most) fashionable cities in the world and its stylish inhabitants don't just like fashion - they eat, breathe and sleep it. 

And even if you feel like throwing on you favourite pair of battered Converse and boyfriend jeans, the city of light demands a certain je ne sais quoi and your comfys just wont cut it!

But, that doesn't mean you have to go over the top either - French women have a nack of looking effortlessly elegant and carelessly cool all at the same time, so you should aim for a simple, yet edgy aesthetic if you want to nail the look. 

Oh, and heels are a must... better start saving those cents for taxis! 

Top:

Ok, so we know a Breton top is a little bit of a French cliché but when in Paris... 

Top, €14.95, H&M

Sunglasses: 

Retro inspired cateye shades are timeless and on-trend all at the same time. A tortoiseshell style is less severe than classic black.

Skirt:

This chain detail leather mini can be dressed down for day and up for nights out, so is the perfect hardworking hand luggage piece. 

Skirt, €69.99, Mango

Clutch:

Forget saving them for nights out, an oversized clutch by day is the epitome of chic.

Clutch, €42, Topshop

Shoes:

Low enough to walk in and sturdy enough to stomp through cobbled streets, we're coveting these chunky heel sandals in a big way. 

Shoes, €39.95, Zara
