How to Wear a Menswear-Inspired Jacket Like the Street Style Stars of Paris Fashion Week
VogueLooking to the streets of Paris for effortless style inspiration is a year-round sport, but there’s much to be said for watching the fashion flock there in early October as they dart between runway shows. This past week, the avenues were flooded with native French girls and visiting showgoers alike that gave the simplest clothes—wrinkled tees, ripped jeans, Converse sneakers—some sort of je ne sais quoi. After all, isn’t that what dressing up in Paris is all about? And this season in particular, there was one such staple that stood out among the rest: the menswear-inspired jacket. Take, for instance, a classic, slightly oversize houndstooth blazer, which can add a preppy tomboy touch to a billowy, bohemian maxi dress. Or, throw a tailored Prince of Wales–checked jacket over a skater-label sweatshirt and a shiny black patent-leather skirt for a striking, cool spin on a classic schoolgirl uniform. An unassuming pair of chinos can be pure magic when worn with a slouchy Spanish-esque sportsman jacket. To add to the outerwear, accessories like a snakeskin mule, sleek silver hoop earrings, or a pair of tortoise shell Ray-Bans can instantly give a subtle punch to any of the aforementioned crisp weather staples. While the borrowed-from-the-boys pieces may not be loud, these chic fall jackets straight from the streets of Paris are guaranteed to turn heads.
