@emmanuellek_Style Notes: One of the most noteworthy shoes of the season is the Mary Jane, but French women have long considered them an integral part of their shoe repetoire; one that transcends the seasons. Ensure yours withstand the cold weather with the addition of a cute sock.
Opt for flats if you spend a lot of time on your feet.

@sylviemus_Style Notes: It doesn't get any classier than this look from Paris-based Sylvie Mus. Longline jacket? Check. Black knee-highs? Check. Effortless attitude from top to toe? Check.
I adore the shape of the heel on this M&S pair.

@salome.moryStyle Notes: If I could capture French style using just one outfit, this would be it. The blazer, blue jeans and ballet flats combination has been expertly executed by Paris resident Salomé Mory.

@juliesfiStyle Notes: Understated and ultra comfy, Julie's beach getup is exactly the kind of low-key ensemble I lean towards. Those New Balance trainers would work with relaxed tailoring for smarter occasions.

@leiasfezStyle Notes: The Wild West comes to France with Leia's elevated on-the-go look. Who says navy and black can't go together?
I can imagine styling a boho look around these boots.
Isabel Marant's cowboy boots will always reign supreme.

@frannfyneStyle Notes: If Annie Hall walked the streets today, I bet her style would look something like this. Switch in black loafers to make this outfit from Franny Fyne even more streamlined.

@tamaramoryStyle Notes: Tamara Mory is my go-to for feminine fashion inspo with a Gallic spin, and this outfit is no exception. The subtly matching accessories and complimentary colour palette prove it's all in the details.
Contrast these delicate shoes with wide-leg trousers.
Try out the two-tone trend with this affordable pair from Marks & Spencer.
