French Inspired Fashion: Your Guide to Parisian Elegance

Trench Coats

A quintessential piece of Parisian-inspired fashion, the iconic trench coat is a must-have for anyone looking to emulate French style. Sportscraft’s range of women’s trench coats offer a versatile classic piece that can be worn over anything from casual jeans to elegant dresses. Opt for neutral tones like beige, khaki, or black to ensure your trench complements a variety of outfits. Get to know our Audrey Icon Trench or our Marilyn Houndstooth Trench for exemplary silhouettes that emulate the French aesthetic.

Blazers

Blazers are another cornerstone of French-inspired fashion. Whether you choose a classic black blazer for a formal look or an oversized pinstripe design for a more contemporary approach, this piece adds structure and sophistication to any outfit. Women's blazers can be paired with everything from tailored trousers to button-down shirts, while men’s blazers are perfect over chinos or dress pants.

Scarves

No Parisian wardrobe is complete without a selection of scarves. These versatile accessories can be worn in multiple ways, adding a touch of elegance to any ensemble. From silk scarves for a touch of luxury to cozy wool scarves for colder months, this accessory is essential for both style and practicality. Style yours around the handle of your bag, as a hairpiece, around your neck or through your belt loops. Explore Sportscraft’s diverse range of bold prints and hues to find a scarf to add the perfect finishing touch on your style.

Cardigans

Cardigans are perfect for layering, offering both warmth and style. Choose lightweight cardigans for spring and summer, and thicker, cozier options for fall and winter. Add a French touch by using your cardigan as a top, buttoned-up over a pair of tailored trousers. Finish your menswear ensemble by styling your cable-knitted jumper with a button-down shirt for a layered look.

Linen Shorts

Linen shorts are a summer essential in French fashion, providing comfort and breathability while remaining on trend. Style yours with a button-down shirt for a relaxed touch, or with a classic sleeveless top for a summer-ready vibe. For menswear, style your linen shorts with a short sleeve button-down for a balanced look ideal for warm weather.

Sweaters

As the temperature dips, reach for a jumper to stay warm. Embody the Parisian aesthetic with a navy statement. Style a women’s jumper with a pair of high waist denim jeans complete with a leather belt to the waist to finish your outfit. For menswear, style a knitted jumper with a collared shirt for a classic outfit.

Jeans

Jeans are a staple in any wardrobe, and Parisian fashion is no exception. Men’s jeans in a classic fit and dark wash are versatile and timeless. Women’s jeans made with a high waist cut and a flared silhouette offer the perfect aesthetic for Parisian-inspired styling. Pair them with blazers, cardigans, or simple tees for an effortlessly chic look.

Polo Shirts

Polo shirts are a great casual option that still maintains a polished appearance. Men's polo shirts can be paired with jeans or chinos for a smart-casual aesthetic. Women’s polos made as knitted silhouettes offer a fashion-forward approach to a traditional style. Wear them under a textured knit for a more modern finish.
