The Beret

The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/the-political-history-of-the-beret">beret</a> is a wardrobe piece&nbsp;synonymous with the French. After <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gabrielle-chanel-history">Coco Chanel</a>&nbsp;popularized the hat as a women&#39;s accessory in the 1930s, its been a fashionable staple on and off the runway.

The Breton Stripe

Originally designed for French seamen, the Breton stripe is a favorite of designers <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jean-paul-gaultier-winnie-harlow-coco-rocha-documentary-loic-prigent">Jean Paul Gaultier</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/fashion/Olivier%20Rousteing%20takes%20a%20look%20behind%20the%20scenes%20of%20the%20creation%20of%20his%20Balmain%20Army%20">Olivier Rousteing</a> of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/balmain-flagship-madison-avenue-olivier-rousteing-cire-trudon-shopping">Balmain</a>. Though the classic blue-and-white sweater is its most recognizable interpretation, there are many ways to sport this nautical pattern.&nbsp;

The blazer is a piece that can pull together almost&nbsp;any outfit, and opting for <a href="https://lofficielbaltics.com/en/fashion/oversized-blazers-are-dominating-the-most-powerful-looks-of-the-season">menswear-inspired sillhouettes</a> keeps things effortlessly sophisticated.

The Trench Coat

As we start to adjust to colder weather, this versatile piece of outwear is the perfect outer layer. Popularized by icons like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/style-brigitte-bardot-marily-monroe-french-fashion">Brigitte Bardot</a>, the neutral <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/fashion/the-most-iconic-apparitions-of-the-trench-coat-in-the-cinema">trench coat</a> is a staple that&#39;s here to stay for seasons to come.

If you want to go for something a little more edgy, throwing a leather jacket over a <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/fashion/styling-inspiration-the-perfect-t-shirt">white tee</a> and jeans is the perfect way to go <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/philipp-plein-spring-2020">rocker chic</a>.

Although sneakers are a go-to comfort shoe, it&#39;s worth adding a few <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ballet-flat-trend-style-inspiration">ballet flats</a> to the mix. A demure leather flat is a classic, but <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/simone-rocha-interview-spring-2019">Simone Rocha</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/moncler-jw-anderson-collection-box">JW Anderson&#39;s</a> fur-adorned footwear&nbsp;showed us that flats can also make a statement.
