There's nothing quite like a French woman's love affair with her rotation of seasonless closet staples. For years, we've written about our adoration for the French and their wardrobes, whether it be straight-leg denim that just hits right or striped shirts that scream less mime and more chic. In this installment, I wanted to muse about the number one outerwear piece French women always have in their closets, no matter the season. Of course, I'm talking about blazers, specifically slouchy, lived-in, oversize blazers.
Oversize blazers go with everything you might think of—white T-shirts, button-downs, minidresses, and even simple bralettes and sheer tights. The options are endless. Choose one in classic wool, subtle pinstripe, or suede for a fresh twist. Push up the sleeves, belt it over a dress, or layer it with a scarf and ankle boots for that nonchalant je ne sais quoi.
