I've obviously been watching Emily in Paris recently (I don’t make the rules!), and when chitchatting about it to friends and random people at events and such, it never fails to delight me how worked up everyone gets about the fashion. We love it, we hate it, and we need to talk about it—particularly about how fabulously at odds it all seems with the classic, impeccably understated idea we have of what French style should be.
If your personal style veers more "capsule wardrobe" and less "prints on prints for all occasions," then this curation of chic fall items is for you. Think timeless denim, excellent tailored separates, and elegant accessories that elevate the simplest outfits. From Isabel Marant accessories to under-$100 basics, I found all these French-coded pieces at Nordstrom and Revolve. No, Emily Cooper probably wouldn't buy anything here, but my friends in Paris definitely would.
A trench that's secretly cozy.
Just the tiniest heel makes all the difference.
Here to elevate any denim-and-knitwear uniforms.
Every fall wardrobe needs one punchy sweater.
Everything about this, especially the blazer.
Shout-out to Good American for making these perfect '90s-inspired jeans in such a wide range of sizes (from 00 to 24).

Sylvie Mus would wear these with black tights when it gets chilly.
The leather jacket style du jour.

Speaking of burgundy.
A little more than a blazer, a little less than a coat.

Dark-wash jeans make a casual look feel so expensive.
There's no wrong time of year to buy slingbacks this good.
Still the coolest under-$100 sunglasses out there.
An elite structured shoulder bag to go with everything.
Plaid blazers never go out of style.
A double strap feels a little more special.
Parisians really know the value of a good belt moment.
Here for navy knits with soft-fringed edges.
The square toe and burgundy hue are making these Mary Janes feel very 2024.
The perfect everyday earrings.
Slouchy knits with a tiny bit of sleeve drama.
Yes to mock-croc accessories, especially loafers.
Crewneck cardigans just styled as a top. Completely buttoned all the way up. You know?
Your commute can be cute.
My new favorite under-$150 shoes.
Possibly the most "weekday Parisian" energy I've ever seen in my entire life.
This chill collared jacket is absolutely what's being worn with the above trousers and loafers.
Chic earrings that aren't trying to do too much.
So many pops of animal print are in Paris right now.
T-bar flats are the moment.
Your fall blazer rotation deserves a cropped, collarless style to pair with slouchier bottoms.
These might actually be compulsory for cool people working on their laptops from cafés in Le Marais.
If there's one thing I know to be true, it's that Parisian women love black ankle boots.
What to wear when you don't know what to wear.
Capped-toe slingbacks are as good in the fall as they are in the spring.
IMO, a square buckle just looks more luxe.
She's booked and busy.
