They say French is the language of love, but everyone knows that fashion is the real way to your heart. Take style cues from les Parisiennes by adding a pair of classic culottes to your wardrobe. Plus, layering a strappy cami over a white tee shirt is a more weather-appropriate take on summer’s favorite slip-dress layering trend. Accessories like a quilted leather backpack and pearl pennant choker give this look the ultimate balance of style and functionality for wherever work or classes take you.
