Jean brands that French girls wear
Musier– This clothing brand was started by French influencer and businesswoman, Adenorah. If you’re the type of person that feels lost when it comes to dressing like a French girl, a good place to start would be shopping the brands that were created by French girls!
Levi’s– Who knew that Parisian women would love an American brand so much? Well, they do, with vintage Levi 501s being the top favorite spanning across the board.
Rouje– This is It Girl Jeanne Damas’ line, so you can bet that anything from here is true Parisian chic.
Sézane– This brand was born in France and though they’ve opened up shops in the US, their quality items all have that Parisian touch!
Budget-friendly jean options
The brand list certainly isn’t everything, but it’s a good place to start. Most of the jeans on that list are going to start at $100 and if you’re looking for more budget-friendly pairs under $100, check out Topshop and H&M. Topshop has a lot of great Parisian “dupes” here, here, and here. And at H&M I like this one, this one, and this one. But no matter where you go, look for some specific styles first and foremost.

1. jeans + blouse
Whether it’s a statement blouse or just a good ol’ pretty top, this outfit combo is one you can always fall back on. Not much is needed for accessories, besides your classic handbag and maybe some gold jewelry.
2. jeans + button-down
It’s classic and sophisticated. Casual Friday, anyone? Dress this look up or down! If you’re headed to work you could pair this outfit with ankle boots and if you’re going about your day you could pair it with sneakers or flats!
3. jeans + blazer
The look of an oversized blazer with jeans is a French girl go-to, so definitely tuck this outfit idea away for the days when you have no idea what to wear!
