With yesterday’s celebration of Bastille Day and the Tour de France still going strong, we’re feeling pretty French lately. For this week’s sales roundup, we’ve selected classic pieces that will immediately inject some joie de vivre into your wardrobe. Because, if there’s anything the French can do amazingly well (besides produce awesome wines and cheese), it’s looking trés chic in a very effortless way.
Sacre Bleu
Try two French fashion classics (capri pants and nautical) in a single look with these comfortably stylish cadet cropped pants in navy, on sale for $40 at Guess.
306 Yonge Street, 416-506-8882
Oh Là là
French women ooze sex appeal, but in a very discreet way. Dare to bare with this lace mesh top, on sale for $50 from French Connection (which, for the record, isn’t actually from France).
11 Bloor Street West, 416-925-9020
Laissez-Faire
What sets French fashionistas apart is their ability to turn something casual into something incredibly chic, like this slouchy-but-cool crew sweater at Jonathan and Olivia. It’s on sale for $199.
49 Ossington Avenue, 416-849-5956
Carte Blanche
Every French woman has a perfectly tailored blazer (or two) in their closet. Grab this one from Zara in one of the season’s hottest colours: white.
341 Queen Street West, 647-288-0545
Allons-y Attaché
For French women, an outfit is not complete without a classic, highly structured handbag in a neutral palette. We like this one from Danier, on sale for $129.
