@camillecharriereStyle Notes: A knitted dress is a hardworking winter staple as it can be transitioned from day to night. Camille styles an open-back knit with a statement bag for a winter event. Add boots for a full evening look.
If I were to recommend one dress for a capsule wardrobe it would be a knitted dress like this. You can layer it up or down in accordance with the weather and pair it with your footwear of choice to determine the vibe.
This vintage-style clutch will polish jeans and dress outfits alike. It's wonderful for the upcoming party season, too.

@leasy_inparisStyle Notes: Shearling comes around like clockwork every winter. Next to the down puffer coat, it’s the most insulated outerwear option. This styling perfectly demonstrates how chic winter pieces can be. From the matching brown tones to the tortoiseshell hair claw, this look is the perfect meshing of casual and smart.
COS' shearling jacket is guaranteed to last a lifetime and if there's one thing we know about this style, it never dates.
Leather and comfort don't tend to go together (just ask Ross from Friends) so many will be pleased to hear this pair comes with some stretch.
Don't underestimate the power of a hair claw. What was a humble '90s accessory has now become a chic statement piece.
This espresso hue is the perfect entry into wearing colour for people who are lovers of monochrome tones. The croc-effect and glossy sheen is a modern touch.

@lefevrediaryStyle Notes: Trench coats were inherited by French women many moons ago and they continue to be worn throughout the winter with warm layers beneath. Like Amy, wear a tonal look head-to-toe by matching your outerwear to trousers.
The trench coat has become part of the French uniform and women tend to wear them year-round. This tone is the perfect colour for winter, as compared to the pale stone tones.
One of my favourite jumper offerings from Arket. This deep grey melange hue is so classic and pairs wonderfully with camel, black and white - enabling you to change looks effortlessly.
Tailored cargo trousers bridge the gap between casual and formal.
Slouched bags have become increasingly popular over the last few years and the functionality aspect makes them wearable for myriad occasions.
These vintage-style rectangular hoops will offset any outfit.
Not only is the chunky loafer a classic piece but it's also practical for winter days due to the grip and slightly raised platform.

@sylviemus_Style Notes: I applaud Sylvie's styling here. If like her you're unwilling to give up your pumps in this chill, layer your jeans with low-denier tights underneath to ensure added warmth. This indigo denim is characteristic of a Parisian uniform and the brown coat ties all of the colours together.
If you're after something slightly different from the typical camel coat this tabacco hue is truly chic.
When French women aren't wearing vintage denim or Levis, they gravitate to straight-leg fits from vintage-inspired brands like Re-done and Agolde. These look and fit just like Levi 501s.
Whilst Soru is usually known for its fun time styles, the latest fine jewellery offerings are ever so classic.
Sheertex isn’t lying when they say rip-proof — believe me. I've put a demo through my most rigorous testing and they remained intact. If you find yourself replacing laddered tights often, look no further.

@annelauremaisStyle Notes: Just when we thought it was time to hang up our miniskirts, micro-minis have been dominating winter styling too. Paired with sheer tights, knee-high boots and a mini bag - it's a trend-lead piece integrated into a pared-back everday look.
Cable knit jumpers often come cream and ecru hues making this grey colourway a refreshing take on a classic.
Many details make this skirt a standout piece - from the blanket stitch pinstripe to substantial fabrication. Pair it with the aforementioned knit, or a white shirt for a nod to the school uniform look.
Swedish Stockings is your one-stop shop for sustainable basics.
A slouched bag with enough room to house your daily essentials.
Parisian women wear their glasses throughout the year. Swap tortoiseshell frames for black to complement winter looks.

@vikilefevreStyle Notes: Miu Miu's Logo strap ballerina flat was the "it" shoe of spring 2023 and this autumn, ballet flats are back in the game. I adore the juxtaposition of sleek shoes with androgynous looks like above. Whether it's the oversized blazer or tailored trousers, French women love pairing boxy looks with streamlined accessories.
Menswear-inspired looks are popular in Paris no matter the season. This cropped blazer is one of the best I've seen on the high street this season.
If ever I'm looking for tailoring on the high street my first bet is COS. COS produce sleek and considered designs in high-quality fabrications.
If like me, you’re big on pearls you’ll be impressed with COS's opulent pearl drop earrings. The contrast gold is a contemporary approach to wearing the milky accessory.
The ballet flat is another trend sweeping across many designer and high street sites. This almond toe iteration (in hardwearing leather, no less) is as classic as they come. The micro heel will also ensure you don't wear the soles down quite as fast.
