Think of French girl style, and the first words that instantly spring to mind are usually effortlessly chic. There’s something so innately refined and timeless about the simple pieces sported by the Parisian style set, which is no truer than when looking at the style tricks used for when the weather gets especially chilly.

One such outfit formula, you ask? It involves just three classic staples from your wardrobe—a brown leather bomber, dark-washed jeans, and a pair of ankle boots. The silhouettes of each piece, naturally, vary from person to person, but the sartorial layering of the trio remains the same.

Just look to Jeanne Damas or Sabina Socol, who both put their own unique spin on the winter outfit formula. If you’re wanting to take a dive into French style, you’re in luck. We’ve sourced the pieces you’ll want to add to your sartorial collection (if you don’t have them already, that is).
