The feeling
The French-girl uniform is a short list worn on repeat: good jeans, a striped top, a trench or a little navy blazer, ballet flats, and hair left slightly undone. The trick is restraint. One statement, never two, and everything a little lived-in.

Three ways to wear it
Day
Breton top, cropped jeans, ballet flats, trench left open.
Work
Navy blazer over a white tee, wide trousers, loafers, scarf on the bag.
Night
A black slip dress, the trench over the top, a red lip.
Stylist's tip. Keep the hair and make-up a little messy so the outfit looks easy. Polished hair with a polished outfit tips into 'office'.
When to wear it
Works from 8°C to 22°C (46–72°F) outdoors.
