California style is known for its casual and everyday appeal, while French style is revered for its effortlessly chic vibe. Given that the laid-back approach of the West Coast has become a lot more relevant to all of us lately and that French style is, well, always relevant, we went ahead and cross-referenced the style staples that both groups are wearing as we head into fall—a sartorial Venn diagram, if you will. The result? A list of seven fall staples that are as effortless and easy to wear as they are polished. Whether you need to ideate some fall outfits or are looking to stock your wardrobe with timeless staples, discover the pieces Californian and French women agree upon and get inspired by each group's distinctive styling approach.
