As someone who studies what French women wear like it’s my job (well, I guess it is my job), I have a knack for predicting what they’ll buy and incorporate into their outfits during any given season. And just like the rest of us, they’re avid Zara shoppers, which Zara is likely aware of, as many of the pieces in its inventory cater to French women and those who want to dress like them. So what do I predict they’d buy from Zara at this very moment? Three things, in particular.
The first is a type of shoe, which is a style that may seem obvious, but there’s nothing wrong with that. The second is a pretty trend that makes every outfit look expensive. And last but not least, the third is an essential fall piece that Zara does so well. Scroll on for the specifics and to shop each of these three very relevant, French girl–inspired styles.
Ballet Flats
It goes without saying that French women love ballet flats—it’s not just a cliché. And Zara’s assortment of styles (many of them genuine leather) is excellent. You’ll find both modern minimalist and traditional bow-adorned iterations, some even with a block heel.

Satin Pieces
One of the hallmarks of French-girl style is that they look effortlessly expensive, and satin is one of the fabrics that helps them to achieve this. It dresses up an outfit in an instant.

Chic Jackets and Blazers
French women know that nothing pulls an outfit together better than a chic jacket or blazer, and Zara happens to excel in this exact arena.
