French It-Girls to Follow

According to Caroline de Maigret, world-renowned French girl and author of How to be Parisian Wherever You Are, tricking everyone into think you’re French is as simple as not answering your phone and being late all the time. (So, check and check.) However, if you still require guidance on the path to unfathomable Parisian chicness, consider these seven first-rate French it-girls as case studies.

French girl cred: The fashion darling-turned- designer (of French brand Rouje) is perhaps the most visible poster girl for all things French chic. Pre-order her upcoming book for further proof.

THE GET

Just because you weren’t born in Paris doesn’t mean your house can’t smell like it. Overose is a Parisian luxury perfume house launched in 2016, and their Nudesse Holographic candle is a showstopper. Plus, it burns for 60 hours, which is around the time it’ll take to learn some French, stockpile polka dot dresses, and book a one-way ticket to Charles de Gaulle.
