Effortless, Chic, and Classic—These 35 Zara Finds Have All the Makings of a Great French-Girl Outfit

Ah, two subjects I love to talk about—French-girl style and Zara! What's even better is when the two coincide. After a whole afternoon spent perusing Zara's site (all in the name of the job, of course), I found a whole host of easy, chic, and classic winter pieces that have the makings of a great French-girl outfit. Included in the mix are plenty of Parisian-inspired basics—from relaxed crewneck sweaters in understated navy, olive, and gray to vintage-looking jeans, chic blazers, and ballet flats—that ooze effortlessly chic vibes.
