I'm no French-girl expert. For that, I'll leave it up to Who What Wear's resident francophile. But that doesn't mean I'm immune to the je ne sais quoi of the French woman's effortless style. I'm constantly taking note of the details that make up their ubiquitous style: from the brands they all shop to how they accessorize and even the lingerie trends they're into.
But I'm kind of losing it over my most recent French-inspired discovery: the Wrap Tie Bardot Midi Dress from our most recent Who What Wear collection drop. The ruffled off-the-shoulder neckline was so perfect for a warm mid-July weekend, while the midi length made it impossibly versatile. I styled mine with a vintage silk scarf wrapped around the waist and grabbed my beloved woven bag. The whole thing made me feel as if I were on a visit to Nice or St. Tropez and not at home in Los Angeles.
And at just $35, it means you can embrace the same French-girl vibes I did no matter what your shopping budget looks like. Go on to get inspired by how I wore it and to shop the dress along with other summer frocks I'm betting French girls would be into.
