My levels back to 120/80 mmHg

There’s no one who does fashion like the French. The “French girl” look is evidence of this. It gained a considerable amount of popularity on social media, offering ideas for everything from clothing to hairstyles and makeup! And no matter what, we will always want to look like a stylish Parisian woman rushing the next morning from the farmers market to a dinner date after the Louvre. It’s time to choose which look to go with for 2024’s warmer months as spring and summer draw near. For us, the obvious choice was the French girl look. Here are a few of our favorite springtime fashion trends, direct from Paris’s streets and approved by French girls.

BERMUDA SHORTS

If the pantless trend strikes fear in your heart, I come bearing good news—Bermuda shorts are the next big thing this spring! The masculine effect of longer-than-usual shorts is chic and ever so slightly unconventional. Take your pick from tailored, denim, cotton, or leather versions to add some chic factor to your SS24 wardrobe.

POLITE SOCIETY EASY BOXERS, ₹2,900

RANNA GILL OLIVE SHORTS, ₹11,800

FRINGE

Cowboy chic is back (perhaps we can thank Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter album for this). Playful fringing adds a dose of fun to any look. It can be as subtle as a detail on a clutch bag or as overt as a miniskirt with a floor-sweeping fringe overlay—there’s so much room to play around.

BOTTEGA VENETA FRINGE LEATHER POUCH, ₹2,52,000

KAREN MILLEN BANDAGE KNIT FRINGE TIERED MIDI DRESS, ₹19,500

POLKA DOTS

It’s officially time for leopard print to slink back off into the jungle—the 1950s polka-dot print is about to make its presence felt in a big way. The retro print was all over the spring 2024 runways, adorning everything from minidresses to tights, and even shoes.

LOVEBIRDS STUDIO HOLIDAY DRESS, ₹17,900

BALLET FLATS

Following a revival fuelled by it-girls Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, ballet flats are going nowhere for spring 2024. Expect to see French girls wearing their embellished and monogrammed versions all summer long!

TOD’S BALLERINAS IN LEATHER, ₹58,000

MIU MIU SATIN BALLERINAS, ₹67,000

FLORALS

Well, it wouldn’t quite be spring without some florals, would it? Though not quite groundbreaking, floral motifs certainly popped up on the SS24 runways in Paris, and French girls have well and truly taken note.

PERO HANDWOVEN COTTON-SILK EMBROIDERED SCALLOP JACKET, ₹4,20,000

AK-OK FLORAL PRINTED BOMBER, ₹38,000

LOW-RISE JEANS

Making a comeback as part of the Y2K revival wave, and spied on the runway at Miu Miu and Schiaparelli for spring 2024, low-rise jeans are trending again. Ask Bella Hadid or just about any other supermodel.
