"Layering is a signature of Parisian style, given the city's unpredictable weather. With the right amount of basics, you can mix and match all season long and never look like you're repeating an outfit. As an American who's been living in France for over a decade, I've picked up a few tips and tricks to seasonal styling. I'll often look to tastemakers like Sézane and Rouje to create a capsule wardrobe around the most popular styles."

"Cozy isn't a term the French use when it's sweater weather, but they know how to curate looks that feel as great as they look. And since French style is known for being timeless, you can invest in a few staples that won't fall out of fashion the following year, like a gorgeous wool coat or comfy ankle boots. From ruffle cardigans to sweater dresses, off-the-shoulder tops, and the perfect flare jeans, here are the season's most stylish finds from Amazon, J.Crew, Madewell, Old Navy,"

"A thin knit sweater dress is one of the first pieces I add to my suitcase when packing in the fall or winter, since it can be worn in a variety of ways and still feel fresh. While skiing, I'll wear one around the chalet with thick wool socks or plush slippers. Out around town, there are tons of ways to style it."

Parisian winter dressing emphasizes layering and a curated set of basics to create a capsule wardrobe that feels fresh across seasons.
