Today marks one full month that I’ve been in Paris, and I’ve been incredibly inspired by the street style that I see. Naturally, I’ve been shopping as well. In this post I’m going to share some of my favorite pieces that I’ve bought so far, inspired by Parisian street style and the concept of ‘RINGARD’.
My very first purchase was this pair of straight leg jeans from ZARA. I quickly noticed that skinny jeans are not as popular here, and Parisians much prefer a wider leg. Jeans are such a staple for a wardrobe, so when I found these jeans at ZARA for only 25 euros I was super excited! I like the high waist, the slightly cropped and frayed edges, and the lighter wash that matches well with (almost) everything.
Another staple piece I bought immediately was this black puffer coat, also from ZARA. Although I brought a gray peacoat with me, the amount of rain in January took me by surprise, and I needed a rain jacket! I chose a classic black color that would match well with most of my clothes, and I’ve found it to be my most-worn jacket so far.
My final purchase from ZARA was this white and black striped sweater. Stripes are a classic Parisian style, but I like that this one is a little more out there with the faux turtle neck and wider bell sleeves. It’s a great piece for layering under jackets when it’s colder outside!
The final piece I wanted to share is this great pair of jeans from STRADAVARIUS. At only 30 euros, they were a steal! I love the classic blue denim color, the “mom jeans” fit, and the high waist. I can already tell these are going to be my go to!
Shopping in Paris has been a whole new experience, and I’m super excited to start building up a classic wardrobe with some fun pieces as well. Next week I’ll be upcycling some finds from a thrift store near our study center, so stay tuned!
Au revoir, Annie
