This winter, let’s take a lesson from the effortlessly chic Parisian women who navigate colder months with undeniable flair. They masterfully blend function and fashion, making even the most voluminous puffer coats look stylish rather than cumbersome.

The key? A collection of timeless essentials that every wardrobe can embrace, regardless of its location. Below are my favorite looks from these trendsetters, showcasing the best of winter style—because while we may not be in Paris, we can certainly dress as if we are.
Classic straight-leg jeans
Few pieces are as quintessential as a well-made pair of straight-leg jeans.
