While many of us spend the months of July and August dreaming about vacations along the Mediterranean and the wardrobes that go along with them, I’d argue that some of the best summer style can be found not at the beach clubs and seaside tavernas of the coast but right in the heart of the world’s fashion capitals—particularly Paris. Despite its recent headline-making heat wave, or perhaps because of it, the style in the French capital is especially good right now.
I just got back from a trip to Paris, where I strolled along the Left Bank, shopped in the Marais, and had nights out in Pigalle. Everywhere I went, I was clocking what the city’s most stylish people were wearing, and although the city’s style identities are as vast and diverse as its neighborhoods, I noticed several through lines that were impossible to ignore. Boarding my flight home, I was filled with so much styling inspiration that it was only right that I share the warm-weather looks that are popular among the French right now.
Bandana + Tank Top + Midi Skirt
There’s one accessory that’s dominating the streets of Paris, and it’s none other than the bandana. Whether it’s a literal bandana or a printed silk scarf, all the coolest dressers are styling one in their hair to add a trend-forward detail to their summer outfits. I saw so many people styling them as a finishing touch with basic tanks and graphic tees.
