The French love their blazers. In fact, they basically consider them a wardrobe staple! Whether it is a corduroy blazer, a plaid blazer or a well-tailored black blazer, you can’t walk down the streets of Paris without seeing at least one French woman wearing one.
Here are five essential blazers in the French woman’s closet. Each of these is great for getting French fall style.
The Plaid Wool Blazer
The plaid blazer is the most common type of blazer you’ll see the French wearing. It’s often made of brown or navy tones. This is the first type of blazer I would seek out as you build your French wardrobe.
The Corduroy Blazer
The corduroy is another French fall staple. This type of blazer is often bought in brown or dark orange to bring out those fall vibes. This is a classic French girl fall blazer!
The Light Beige Wool Blazer
A neutral-colored wool blazer is great for those early spring days when it’s too chilly for a lighter jacket but too cold to leave home without some sort of outerwear.
I have a Rouje Jacques blazer in beige wool that I love wearing in early spring!
The White or Beige Linen Blazer
This is the French girl full-on summertime blazer for cool summer evenings where you want to cover up a bit, or summer days when you know there will be air conditioning!
The Black Smoking Jacket
The black smoking jacket is a must-have for evenings out in Paris. This is on my to-buy list as I’m saving up for a good, iconic Saint Laurent Le Smoking jacket!
