The effortless edit: what’s trending in Paris and beyond
French fashion isn’t just timeless—it’s always two steps ahead of the curve. In 2025, the style scene in Paris has evolved from classic chic into a more relaxed, sustainable, and subtly rebellious space. Here's what the cool French girls (and guys) are actually wearing this year—and how to get the look without guessing your size.
1. Oversized Tailoring with a Feminine Edge
Blazers and trousers are boxy but never sloppy. The French twist? Cinched waists, rolled-up cuffs, and delicate jewellery to offset the masculinity.
Style it with:
-
Silk camisoles or ribbed tanks
-
Loafers or strappy kitten heels
-
Tousled hair and red lips (always)
Get the look from: Sandro, The Frankie Shop (Paris flagship), Sezane, Isabel Marant

2. 90s-Inspired Minimalism, But Make It Luxe
French brands are perfecting the 90s revival with sleek silhouettes in elevated fabrics.
Trending pieces:
-
Square-neck slip dresses
-
Bias-cut skirts
-
Longline cardigans
-
Tonal layering in beige, ivory, slate
Top picks: Rouje, Ba&sh, A.P.C., Lemaire

3. Utility, Reworked
Think boiler suits and cargo trousers but in luxe fabrics like cotton poplin or brushed wool, styled with sculptural heels or silk scarves.

4. Statement Outerwear as Uniform
From belted trench coats to military-inspired dusters, the French are masters of making one piece do all the talking.
Key colours: Dusty olive, espresso brown, soft grey
Where to buy: Claudie Pierlot, Maje, Soeur, IRO
5. Flat Shoes are Fashion Again
Ballet flats, fisherman sandals, buckled loafers—French cool-girls have swapped out heels for hyper-practical flats, styled with wide-leg trousers or silk skirts.
Best French shoe labels:
-
Repetto
-
Carel
-
Bobbies
-
Jonak
6. Vintage-Inspired Denim
No rips, no logos, no fuss. Just straight-leg, slightly cropped jeans with a perfect high waist and a clean finish.
Go-to brands: A.P.C., Sezane, Musier Paris
📏 French denim sizing is not the same as UK sizing—Tellar helps you convert it
7. Sheer Layers & Second Skin Tops
Think mesh turtlenecks, organza shirts, and semi-sheer dresses—always layered tastefully, never too exposed.
Worn with:
-
Structured tailoring
-
Minimalist heels
-
Delicate gold jewellery
Brands doing this well: Coperni, Jacquemus, Courrèges
8. The "No Effort" Dress
Wrap dresses, button-front midis, and tiered cotton poplin dresses dominate. French women don’t over-style—just throw it on with clean skin and a swipe of red lip.
Look to: Rouje, Sezane, Ba&sh
🟢 Don’t guess your dress size—check it on Tellar.co.uk
9. Neutrals + One “Off” Colour
French outfits typically stay neutral—until they don’t. One flash of cobalt blue, chartreuse, or vermillion red keeps the outfit elevated without being loud.
Styling tip: Add it with a shoe, scarf, or silk bag.
10. Sustainable Fashion That Doesn’t Shout
France is at the forefront of quiet sustainability. Expect upcycled denim, vintage-style silhouettes, and materials that look expensive but last.
Top sustainable French brands:
-
MaisonCléo (made to order)
-
Veja (sneakers)
-
Balzac Paris
-
Sézane (B Corp certified)
