There are many places, people and things I look to for fashion inspiration—from the runway shows to window displays, brand campaigns and of course the fashion set on Instagram. When it comes to the latter, I’m drawn to some of the styling ideas I’ve been seeing lately, particularly from the fashion set in France and Spain, who are known for their chic, elegant and creative outfits. In fact, after going down a rabbit hole of Instagram scrolling from Spain and France’s most stylish It-girls, I bookmarked five specific styling ideas that I can’t wait to copy for myself. From styling your track pants with your ballet flats to tying your sweater with a statement brooch, keep scrolling to get inspired by the most stylish women in Spain and France, and shop the looks for yourself.

Style Your Light-Wash Jeans With Pale Pink Hues

If there’s one color, stylish Spanish women love to style with their light-wash jeans this season it’s a pretty shade of pale pink. Try a light pink satin jacket or button-down with your denim, and if you want to take it one step further, complete the look with a pop of green.

Pair Track Pants With Ballet Flats

Fresh and undeniably cool, the French fashion set love the contrast of sporty track pants with high-vamp minimalist ballet flats. (Socks are optional for warmth).

Tie Your Sweater With a Brooch

If there’s one trend we keep spotting in Paris, it’s a chic statement brooch styled over outerwear, scarves, and sweaters. The perfect accessory to make your outfit look on-trend this spring.

Wear Red and Leopard-Print Together

The Spanish fashion set absolutely love to integrate bright and bold primary red pops into their outfits. The chicest way to wear it is combined with statement leopard-print. Think a red sweater styled with a leopard print jacket.

Let the Top of Your Undies Show

If you’re wearing low-rise jeans or a low-rise skirt, emulate the coolest Spanish It-girls and show off your undies just above the waistline—a trend we also spotted all over the spring 2026 runways.
