What French Girls Are Buying From Zara Right Now

Regular readers of Who What Wear UK will know we're obsessed with two things above all else: French style and Zara. And even though we dedicate much of our time writing about these respective themes, we never tire of them. However, it never occurred to us to merge them—until now.
We don't know if Zara's current collection feels more Parisienne, but we couldn't help but notice that many of the French influencers we religiously follow have been wearing pieces from the high-street hot spot more frequently than usual, with four items proving key.
We're the first to admit that we've long overlooked some of the pieces Gallic girls are favouring, but with their French flair, they look chicer than we ever thought possible. Keep scrolling to see and shop the four French Zara shopping picks your wardrobe needs.
French girls tend to steer clear of body-con dresses, which is likely why Zara's oversized options are proving so popular. Take the minimalist approach with the black or white cotton styles, or go all out in pink polka dots.
French girls can't get enough of leopard motifs, and no brand makes them look quite so cool as Zara. With a refined colour palette, the brand's cat-print pieces never fail to look expensive.

Arguably the chicest outerwear you can invest in, it's little wonder then that those who reside in Paris keep stocking up on Zara's extensive array of trench coats.
Knee-high boots are fast becoming the most in-demand boot of 2019. French girls tend to wear theirs under floaty midis or oversized coats for a chic effect.
Up next, these 18 French girls always have the chicest haircuts.
