French women love a trench coat, but this season, shorter, swingier versions like this one have taken over the sidewalks of Paris.

Is there anything more quintessentially French than a classic striped T-shirt? This 100 percent cotton pick is soft, comfy and serves as the ultimate base layer for spring looks.

Straight and structured with the most flattering booty-hugging fit, there's a reason Levi's 501 jeans remain a staple both here and abroad.

When the sun comes out in France, so does the eyelet. Embrace the charming design in the form of this crisp, cropped button-down.

Red Mary Janes are the French-girl shoe du jour, and you can't go wrong with this stretchy knit pair that buyers say is as comfy as it is breathable.

Whether worn over a tank, draped across your shoulders or tied around your waist, a lightweight cashmere cardigan is just the thing to give any fit that je ne sais quoi.

For a softer, more spring-ready take on that signature red pout, swipe on this luxe and nourishing lip balm from a true French icon.
