5 Chic Pieces I Saw French Women Wearing in Paris’s 30° Heatwave

Around this time last month, I started my day as I would any other: sitting down with a book on a stuffy train. But, rather than elbowing my way out into central London, I emerged with a spring in my step in sunny Paris, during one of the city’s famous warm-weather spells.

Having been to Paris countless times, my itinerary was focused on stopping by new local haunts and catch-ups with friends. And, to be quite honest, between the glaring sun a snaking queues, museums and monuments didn’t get a look in. As such, I think I slotted in with the locals rather well, and naturally, I couldn’t help but keep tabs on some of the key silhouettes and trends that kept them looking so chic, despite the sweltering temperatures. Among the throngs of chic dressers, a handful of trends struck me again and again, and, now that London’s enjoying its very own heatwave, I’ll be putting my learnings into practice and replicating some of those very same looks that served the French so well.
