Is anyone else excited at the prospect of wearing jeans again? It’s the same sort of excitement I had back in May when the concept of wearing, well, anything other than jeans became an option again. However, after a few months of favouring linen and cotton over denim, I’m once again looking forward to the ease of wearing jeans for autumn. That said, coming up with new ways to style them can sometimes feel monotonous—there are only so many tops and jackets you can wear them with that feel “new”, after all. So, ahead of next season, I decided to do some research and stockpile some chic jeans looks to inspire me this autumn. Being a self-confessed Francophile, I turned my attention to French women.

With a climate not too dissimilar to our own, I’ve already spotted French women—especially those in Paris—wearing jeans again, in place of the white dresses and skirts that have otherwise dominated this summer. In fact, after some recent forecast fluctuations, I’m finding that many are were wearing jeans in very autumnal ways early.
