4 Parisian-Inspired Fashion Trends to Add to Your Closet STAT

I’ve been to Paris almost a dozen times, and I consistently return because of the fashion. Sure, the city is beautiful and has a lot of history, but I also get so much style inspiration from locals as they walk down the street.
It doesn’t matter the season — Parisians know how to dress! However, the French girl’s summer style is unmatched. If you want to feel like the most fashionable person in the room this summer, you’ll want to stock up on the following four trends that women in Paris swear by every year. I usually see styles featuring embroidered details, satin-like fabrics, polka dot patterns and mule-style shoes, just to name a few. See these French-inspired picks from Quince, Reformation, Free People and more without ever stepping foot in Le Marais.
20 Trendy French Woman-Inspired Summer Pieces
Embroidered Tops
1. Classy as It Gets: The French know how to turn an average button-down shirt into something elegant with embroidered stitching. I’ve seen women wear this stunning eyelet blouse style from Paris all the way down to the coast.
2. French Boho: This Treasure & Bond top blends boho style with French sophistication, thanks to the combination of the tailored silhouette and dainty flowers cascading up the bodice.
3. Work of Art: Hang it in the Louvre! This scalloped-edge embroidered blouse from Mango looks like a work of art.
4. Breezy Blouse: Although Paris gets hot in the summer, many French women still wear long-sleeve blouses, similar to this lightweight cotton ruffle blouse. It gets bonus points for the effortlessly chic Peter Pan collar.
5. Peek-a-Boo: This linen-blend pick might look like your average embroidered tank from the front, but the back is head-turning with the tie closures that encourage you to show a little skin.
Polka Dots
6. Pattern Du Jour: I can’t walk anywhere in Paris without seeing someone wear a gorgeous swingy polka dot dress, so I immediately added this brown and white one to my cart.
7. Pop of Color: Along with polka dots, a red lip is a Parisian staple. Match your lipstick to your outfit with this maroon and white polka dot puff-sleeve blouse.
8. No Brainer: Why spend extra time choosing an outfit when this strapless polka dot set is the obvious choice. The summery two-piece find can be worn together or separately for endless styling options.
9. All In the Details: Add a little flair to your outfit with these fun polka dot heeled sandals that evoke a vintage vibe.
10. So French: I can’t think of anything more Parisian than this boat-neck polka dot top. Every French woman owns this style!
Silky Bottoms
11. So Cool: The French love luxurious fabrics, so it’s no surprise that satin pants are a wardrobe staple. This soft pair feels just as comfy as pajamas.
12. The Real Deal: It’s difficult to find a 100% silk skirt on Amazon, but I struck gold with this maxi option that’s made from mulberry silk.
13. Let It Flow: Are these bottoms pants or a skirt? Technically pants, but with all the billowing fabric it’s very androgynous, which is something the French love.
14. Sweet Trim: You don’t often see Parisians wearing shorts, unless they look something like these lace-lined silk ones that feel cheeky and fun when paired with heels.
15. Just Relax: Summer is not the time to wear uncomfortable clothes, which is probably why Parisians love soft, stretchy silk pants. This loose pair from Free People comes in four eye-catching hues, including chic red.
Mules
16. The Timeless Pick: The professional loafer mules are in style all year round in Paris. For summer, opt for a lighter color, like beige or nude, to blend in with the locals.
17. The Coast Is Calling: Once the calendar reaches August, Parisians say ‘goodbye’ to the city and head to the coast. And thus, they’re wearing only one thing on their feet: beachy rafia mules.
18. Paris Classic: What’d I say earlier? The French love a pop of red, especially for their footwear. Wear these cherry Mary Jane mules, and everyone will think you’re a born-and-bred Parisian.
19. A Little Lift: Stilettos are a no-no on Paris’s cobblestoned streets, but if you want some added height, these block-heeled mules are stable, chic and easy to walk in.

Paul is my new physical therapist. He’s a British guy on YouTube. The great thing about YouTube medical care is that there’s no paperwork to fill out and your insurance is never questioned. Plus, your health care professional doesn’t know if you leave the workout to answer text messages.
PT Paul has been helping me with my trick knee. It can’t pull a rabbit out of a hat, but it can do other tricks. That knee had surgery twice as a kid and likes to remind me.
Because I am sometimes exuberant, I’ve been watching PT Paul twice a day doing the full regimen of knee-strengthening exercises. Now, not only my left knee hurts, but I sometimes limp, and my right hip hurts.
It’s not Paul’s fault; it’s mine. I should have taken more text message breaks.
All of which is how I found myself sitting in an orthopedic surgeon’s office. This doctor replaced both knees for a friend. When you are young, you compare notes on fashion trends, concert venues and coffee shops. When you are retirement age, you compare notes on surgeons, hospitals and recovery times.
I brought a translator to the ortho appointment with me — our oldest daughter who speaks fluent medical.My translator and I were shown to a room to wait for the doctor. I enjoy waiting for doctors because studying everything on the wall is how you get to know them.
The walls were plastered with photographs.
“Look at this one,” I chirped. “A woman standing by a helicopter wrote, ‘Thanks for putting me back in the air.’”
Next to that was an equestrian rider jumping a horse over a fence. Below that was a picture of a woman whacking the stuffing out of a tennis ball.
She wrote, “Thanks for giving me my life back. My TKR has made all the difference. You’re the best!”TKR is code for total knee replacement. I know that thanks to my translator.
“This is incredible!” I said. “I could be flying helicopters, playing tennis and jumping horses.”
My translator rolled her eyes.
The last picture showed two fellas on a wrestling mat and the inscription said, “Thanks for getting me back on the mat in six weeks!”
After discussion with the doctor, I opted to see how a cortisone shot would work.
I thanked him and said, “You must be really good to have that fella back on a wrestling mat only six weeks after surgery.”
He said the one he did surgery on was the 60-something referee standing next to the mat at the edge of the photo.
“Oh, I see,” I said. “But tell me this, how long after surgery before I could get my pilot’s license or be jumping horses?”
