The Best Striped-Tee Outfits Inspired by My Favorite French Women

It's no secret that we love French style here at Who What Wear. Can you blame us? We've already discussed the handbag trend the French prefer, their favorite basics, and their trousers of choice. Now, I'm delving into how three Parisian women style one of the quintessential French essentials: the striped T-shirt.
One look includes wide-leg trousers and ballet flats, while another involves straight-leg jeans and sandals. Whichever way you slice it, there's no wrong answer for how to style striped tees. But if you're feeling a bit uninspired, I'm here to offer some ideas. I made sure to include a variety of price points, starting at $13 for a super-cute tee from H&M. Scroll down to re-create my favorite striped-tee outfits inspired by French women.
This versatile and classic outfit works for the office or a Sunday stroll—preferably in Paris!

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports.
