After eagerly anticipating the return of Netflix’s hit series Emily in Paris, I was thrilled to dive back into the drama, romance, and Parisian glamour for season four, the first half of which was released on August 15. Let’s not forget about the stunning fashion, especially in Emily Cooper’s (played by Lily Collins) wardrobe.
Despite the ongoing controversies surrounding her style (some think it’s too bright and showy), I’ve always thought that it perfectly encapsulates the essence of Parisian style. Wanting to confirm my belief, I conducted a meticulous analysis of Emily’s season four outfits and scoured the Instagram feeds of my favorite Parisian influencers to find evidence of French women adopting similar fashion choices. To my delight, I discovered that many of them wholeheartedly embrace the same looks as Emily, reinforcing the authenticity and allure of her style.
As I watched, I noted six anti-trend pieces that stood out the most on the streets of Paris—items that go beyond the quintessential French beret and ballet flats. Below, uncover the list along with plenty of visual proof. Plus, I shopped out each outfit in case you’re interested in replicating that effortless air that Parisian women are known to possess. Once you’re all shopped out, begin your preparations for part two of the new season, which arrives on Netflix on September 12 and will surely feature more chic and easy-to-replicate ensembles.
Monochromatic Suiting
One of the most effortless ways to create a sophisticated and polished outfit is by donning a coordinated suit, a fashion choice often favored by trendsetting individuals in Paris. This is exemplified by Emily, who sports this look when heading into her office. Parisian women like Chloé Harrouche, the creative director and founder of Loulou Studio, also exude charm in these suits. Not only do they offer practicality, but they also exude a relaxed and effortless allure, qualities that are highly valued by French women when they curate their wardrobes.
