French Style Tip #1:Invest in a Pair of Ballet Flats

How to look french? Wear ballet flats. Any chic Parisienne has at least one, if not, three pairs of ballet flats. They are a staple in every Parisian woman's wardrobe because they go with everything - shorts, pants, capris, skinny jeans, skirts, dresses, bathing suits, or nothing at all (very Parisian!) And the great thing about flats is that you can find them in all sorts of colors, prints, and prices.
