27 Anti-Trend Nordstrom Finds You'll See on Every French Woman This Summer

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we really love French style around here. We interview French actresses and Parisian transplants, chronicle their top accessories, and even break down their favorite colors to wear. Right now, I want to bring your attention to a trio of anti-trend staples that French women love to wear.

These wardrobe essentials are guaranteed to stand the test of time. As worn by French women Sabina Socol, Salomé Mory, and Mélodie Bance, these closet basics—starting at just $15!—are practical, easy to style, and utterly chic. The outfit options are truly endless since these are all pieces that can be mixed and matched with things you already own. Scroll down to shop anti-trend Nordstrom finds you'll see on every French woman this summer. 

1. Camisoles

A great cami is truly an underrated wardrobe building block. I'll be copying Socol and styling mine with a sheer cardigan and high-rise jeans, but there are a million and one different ways to wear camisoles. Below, I rounded up an affordable mix of tanks from Nordstrom's excellent selection. 

2. Wide-Leg Trousers

Yes, the wide-leg-trouser trend is still alive and kicking. It's polished yet carefree at the same time—the perfect mix if you ask me. Dress them up for the office or wear them on the weekends with sneakers and a T-shirt. Any way you slice it, wide-leg trousers are a great investment. 

3. Breton-Stripe Shirts

Last but not least, the Breton-stripe shirt is a French-girl classic that will never go out of style. I love how Bance styles hers with wide-leg trousers (see above), but these tees would look equally chic with jeans, denim shorts, linen skirts, and more.
