Americans close out summer with Labor Day weekend festivities; in France, the end of summer holidays is marked by la rentrée, celebrated with wine-fueled soirées and showcasing tans from sailing and beach trips to Mykonos or Mallorca. The change of season brings excitement similar to a first day of school and prompts wardrobe refreshes focused on layers and cozy knits for crisp Parisian fall weather. Labor Day sales offer an American shopping opportunity to assemble a French-inspired fall capsule featuring items like cropped ribbed cardigans, suede ankle boots, flare jeans, pleated miniskirts, and plaid wool coats for versatile, chic layering.
I'm also looking forward to crisp fall weather in my adopted home of Paris-and the cozy knits that come along with it. Americans close out the season with Labor Day weekend festivities, but in France, the end of summer holidays is marked by what the French call la rentrée, or "the return." There's the same excitement in the air as the first day of school, but instead of class, we're meeting over wine-fueled soirées and showing off our tans from sailing trips and days basking
Not only do I love the energy of the start of a new season, but I love the excuse to freshen up my wardrobe. I may not be barbecuing or picnicking over the long weekend, but I can still fête the holiday in true American fashion-by shopping the many Labor Day sales. I've been scouring my favorite sites and brands to curate my dream fall capsule wardrobe that captures the Parisian cool-girl look.
