As I type this story hunched over my laptop, my favorite stylish French girls are living their best lives on vacation. Not that I’m jealous or anything. In case you have end-of-summer travel plans or simply searching for some warm-weather outfit inspiration, look no further.
After scouring Instagram, I noticed five recurring elements in French girls’ vacation photos. For starters, black bikinis dominated their swimwear, and it’s easy to see why: It’s a true classic that will never go out of style. Scroll down to shop four other trends that are also vacation-approved, including easy shoes, practical bags, and more.
The swimwear equivalent of an LBD, this classic style is always a wise investment. Bonus points if you style it with an oversized white button-down shirt as a coverup.
This one’s as practical as it is stylish. Wide-brim hats not only offer sun protection, but they look incredibly chic and scream “I’m on vacation.”
Matching sets are especially convenient for vacation because they give you an instantly put-together outfit with little thought.
Jane Birkin was famous for her signature straw bag and modern-day French girls are still wearing the style in 2023.
Last but not least, flip-flops are the ultimate beach-to-boardwalk shoes. Consider dressing them up with a maxi skirt this summer.
