@aidabadji_There are many types of flyers you'll see at a Paris-based airport, but one of the most common is what I'm calling "prêt-à-porter" aka ready-to-wear. This woman is already dressed for the vacation before it begins. She skips out on oversize sweats and opts for a comfortable vacation look so she can hit the scene the second the flight lands without many touch-ups.
If you're headed to warmer climates, I suggest having a straw tote in tow.

@camillecharriereThe next type of traveller is one that we're calling "everything but the kitchen sink." French women hate little annoyances, so most of them travel with just a carry-on bag. That means they'll end up wearing as much clothing as they possibly can on the plane so that their suitcase can carry the rest. Expect hats, layers, and capaciously large totes.
Comfortable enough for travel, chic enough for a dinner look when you arrive.
The perfect size for all your in-flight essentials.

@claire_mostWhat's the best way to look chic at the airport without sacrificing comfort at all? Wearing a knit maxi dress. You basically are a walking blanket. For French women who truly prioritise comfort above all else, this is the one-stop shop for looking put-together.
Wait until you see the strap detail on the back.
This all black ensemble means you can really play with accessories.

@annelauremaisNote the emphasis on the word "casual." French women like taking traditional businesswear pieces and dressing them down to the max. This was something I saw during my time traveling in the actual city of Paris and among the people at the airport. Pairing a formal shirt with flip-flop sandals is actually a vibe.
Cord necklaces are everywhere right now.

@sylviemus_Calling all '90s minimalists! The best way to avoid forgetting your favourite tank top or pair of jeans when you travel is to wear them right on the plane. French women weren't afraid to keep it simple at the airport and made a case for the fact that the simpler the better.

@slipintostyleWhile I mentioned previously that I saw women wearing a lot of basics, I also occasionally saw the statement-making French woman. She still prioritised comfort for her flight but also found a way to wear bright colours or an outfit you'd never seen before. I was instantly obsessed.
If you're going bold, go all the way.
