I've officially been studying French style for 14 years, so, by now, I'd like to think I know what makes Gallic girls tick. I hate to stereotype as there will always be exceptions to the rule but, in most instances, I'd say the key to unlocking the French woman's innate sense of style and effortless way of getting dressed is to go back to basics. Get your staples right—well cut blazers, timeless jeans, simple tops and premium-looking knits (with a black-and-white stripe thrown in for good measure)—and you'll find yourself right on course.
With all the buzz around Amazon Prime Day sale this week and the pretty epic sales discounts found within, I challenged myself to create the chicest French-inspired edit possible solely from Amazon. And you know what? It was easier than I thought it would be.
French women use wardrobe staples to build out their timeless looks; items which Amazon has plenty of.
Turns out, Amazon has many, many expensive-looking pieces right now, and lots of them are included in the July Prime Day sales. Think classic trench coats and pretty dresses that will help you kickstart your summer wardrobe with ease, Levi's (yes, really), and elegant accessories like loafers, Mary Jane ballet flats and tote bags for all occasions. Put simply, if I were to move to Paris, this is the affordable capsule wardrobe I'd set myself up with. It's that chic. I'm a cynic myself, so let me address the elephant in the room: What's the catch? You'll be pleased to hear there isn't one.
But don't just take my word on that—scroll below to see and shop the French-inspired Amazon pieces I'm eyeing in the July 2025 Prime Day.
