For better or worse—but usually for better—it seems the whole world takes its fashion cues from Paris. But while Parisian style will always have its classic pieces (Breton stripes, Veja sneakers, crisp button-downs), French women’s ability to innovate in fashion can’t be underestimated. Just when you thought Parisian women would never don a beret, here they are reclaiming the tourist-shop staple. Just when you thought you’d never see a stylish French woman in a tube dress or in a neck tie… You get the picture.

My point is that while Parisian fashion often leans into classic, timeless elegance, women in the French capital also aren’t afraid to take risks with their clothes and subvert expectations. Just because they have taste doesn’t mean they don’t also like to have fun, with prints and colors and textures and retro trends millennials will recognize from their first go around. Here are five great trends I’ve spotted on Parisian women recently, plus the clothes you’ll need to re-create the looks.

This Specific Coat

By Malina Anouk Yve Coat

Before you get excited, yes, this viral faux fur–trimmed coat from Malina x Anouk Yve is sold out—unsurprising given it’s been seen on all the coolest girls in Paris and beyond (see: Elsa Hosk). It’s also had write-ups inVogue Scandinavia and Marie Claire UK, so it really is a global phenom. You can still grab it in gray or you could try your luck on eBay. I’ve also found some similar styles from other brands for you.

Express Permission to Wear a Beret

Beret trend

I’m literally from Paris and I’ve previously said with my whole chest on the internet that wearing a beret in the French capital is the best way to get singled out as a clueless tourist. No longer! When elegant French women are seen with the iconic flat hat, you can take it as express permission to do the same. (Obviously, you can and should wear whatever you want, but you catch my drift.)

Full Suit and Tie

Full suit and tie

We’re not talking “throw a tie on over your T-shirt” à la 2003 Avril Lavigne here. Elegant French women are going all-in with a full suit and tie look, button-down and men’s-style dress shoes included. Keep the look elegant with a soft-lined handbag and jewelry.

Matching Your Coat to Your Outfit

Matching coat and outfit

Outerwear can sometimes be hard to style if your outfit underneath is already busy, so I’m loving this shortcut hack that looks so good.

Tube Dresses

Tube dresses

2000s teens rejoice, because the tube dress is back. You can make it extra fun with a leopard-print version, which is honestly huge in Paris right now—you only have to walk into a Sézane or Balzac store this season to see what I mean—but any tube dress will do the trick.
