Here in the U.S. we just celebrated the Fourth of July, but hold onto your berets and sparklers because it’s almost Bastille Day. Over in France, the masses celebrate a key turning point in the French Revolution and honor the unity of their people on July 14. And what better way for us American gals to honor them than through fashion?
Effortlessly chic and incredibly cool, French girl style is impeccable. It’s a laid-back, feminine look unlike anywhere else. While we can’t all jump on a jet and head to Paris for a shopping trip, thanks to Instagram and worldwide shipping you can rock Parisian style from the comforts of home. Take a scroll below to check out four brands that French influencers can’t seem to get enough of, so you can achieve their natural, leisurely style yourself.
Réalisation Par
Makers of the Instagram famous Naomi skirt, Réalisation Par’s designs are pieces that can last an eternity in your closet. Full of classic silhouettes and luxurious fabrics, the brand keeps its creative focus on producing individual pieces as opposed to full collections. Odds are you can’t scroll through your Instagram feed without coming across a fashion blogger styled in one of their pieces.
From flirty wrap dresses like this one sported by Alizée Gamberini, to timeless slip skirts as seen on Julie Fournier and sassy midi dresses, as modeled by Camille Charrier, there’s a piece for everyone. Good luck picking just one!

Mango
French girl style isn’t all expensive items and designer duds. No, these ladies are masters of mixing high-end items with cost-effective pieces for an elevated outfit. The brand that we spot time and time again when clicking for the tags on French influencer posts is Mango, and it’s easy to see why. With the majority of the pieces under $100, the brand cultivates collections of clothes that complement any woman’s figure, while saving her some change.
Find a blazer for your new favorite layering piece like Lina Ose, or Eleonore Toulin’s easy summer skirt in a punchy lime green, or a pair of jeans like those worn by Leia Sfez that rival your favorite lived-in ones.

Being eco-conscious never looked so good. Gabrielle Caunsil, Anne-Laure Mais, and Lucillia Chenel are just a few of the many Parisian influencers who have been spotted in this sustainable brand. From weddings to vacations, puff-sleeved tops to side slit maxi skirts, the brand’s designs are an enthralling mix of sweet and sexy. Wear them like a French girl with low-key accessories and strappy sandals, and get ready to turn some heads.

The feminine prints and ladylike cuts are made for summertime picnics and warm evening dates.
