When it’s near-30 degrees with no air conditioning and a perpetually sweaty back, certain elements of daily life need not apply. Namely: jeans, buttons, zips, buckles and anything else that requires effort. Some of the best-dressed French women seem to have this entirely sussed, opting for the one-and-done hero piece to carry many an outfit: the dress. And as this snapshot of the coolest—literally and figuratively—French girl summer dress outfits proves, there’s a near-limitless number of aesthetics to choose from.

Think: the sleek and sexy leopard print, paired with a peep-toe mule. The cotton frock and boots—equal parts twee and entirely on trend. The casual T-shirt dress, most relaxed of all, elevated by a cape-like design and a black leather flip flop. Each all falling under the summer dress outfit inspo board while catering to completely different personal styles.
