I recently took a trip to Paris and then London for a few days. In fact, I just shared a list of the elevated basics I noticed Parisians wearing on repeat during my trip. I thought I’d expand on the sartorial moments I saw with the specific outfit formulas I spotted in both Paris and London.
Of course, I saw a range of inspiring ensembles, but there were two specific looks I seemed to see in some iteration every day. In Paris, I noticed chic looks that featured relaxed pants, a button-up shirt, and typically flats. This look was seriously everywhere. In London, I certainly saw this same easy yet forward look, but also saw so many people wearing flowy midi or maxi dresses and sneakers or sandals. I saw this two-piece outfit formula in every London neighborhood.
Below you’ll uncover visual inspiration showcasing these two looks. I also included shopping recommendations for your reference.
