How to (Finally) Achieve the French It-Girl Look

Model and muse de Maigret has artfully mastered the slightly androgynous, but still sexy look. Recreate her tried-and-true style with a pair of slim, tapered jeans, a silk oxford (a cotton one is too stiff), and a snug blazer. A single sole pump adds a dose of ladylike appeal.

Poésy mixes comfort and quirk to a T. Use an easy military-inspired dress as your statement piece and mix in menswear accessories, like a wide-brim hat. But don’t be afraid to show your personality with your shoes, like these golden brogues.

Much sweeter than her counterparts, the French actress exudes more luxe femininity. Try a slightly flared, drop-waist dress with ruby red flats. A warm camel robe coat is ever so cozy, but still romantic.
