10 Outfits Europe's Chicest Dressers Are Wearing When They're *Not* on Vacation

If it seems like chic Europeans are always on vacation, you're not exactly wrong. But with so many amazing places to visit in such close proximity, can you blame them? Some of the most magical places in the world are basically a weekend trip when you live in Europe. But what I've been most interested in lately is what European fashion people are wearing when they're not on vacation. Those are the ones I'm most likely to draw inspiration from, as vacation outfits don't really suit my day-to-day, "less sand, more sidewalk" life.
Instead of the expected late-July vacation outfit roundup, I put together a "staying local" outfit roundup. Sure, some of these looks have a bit of a summer holiday vibe, but they're appropriate for far more than a weekend jaunt to Mallorca. So, if you're looking for outfit ideas for the remainder of summer (and early fall) that are perfect for your staying local days, or are just curious about what chic Europeans are wearing when visiting their local spots this summer, keep scrolling.
