I spent a lot of time thinking about French style and the ways in which I can channel my inner Parisian on the daily. I like croissants and will take wine with my meals, but I find the most satisfying way to tap into their je ne sais quoi is through assembling an outfit. At the risk of generalising, you could argue that the French woman’s appreciation of wardrobe staples and basics is finely tuned. Of course this doesn’t apply to all French women but it does to the ones I follow. I regularly look to them for new and fresh ways to wear pieces that are lingering in my wardrobe, or to inspire me to don items I haven’t for a while. And right now, I’m turning to them for guidance on boot outfits.
It’s been a while since I’ve worn boots. After six months of wearing either sandals or flat shoes (mary janes for the most part), now that the colder weather has kicked in as quickly as a flick of a switch, I need to acclimatise myself to wearing boots again—and fast. So, I decided to round up some French-girl boot outfits to get me started.
Aside from one of the looks I just had to include, all of the French outfits you see before you centre on black knee-highs of either the flat or heeled variety. Whatever your sole preference, black boots are some of the hardest-working footwear you can invest in (they’re practically on overtime in my wardrobe). So, if you already own a pair of black knee-high boots (I’m willing to bet the odds of that are in favour) then I’m sure the French-girl boot outfits you’re about to see will come in handy for your own styling purposes.
Scroll on to see six easy French-girl boot outfits you can (and should!) try this season.
