Speaking exclusively with Savoir Flair, she offers up some pearls of wisdom, styling tips, and prime products to help you snag that ineffable Parisian cool.

A Blazer
Workwear revolves around the blazer, but Zadig & Voltaire’s version goes beyond the confines of the office. “The sequined blazer is a classic in our collection, which works for all occasions,” says Bönström.

A Mini Skirt
Another wardrobe staple that’s making a comeback is the mini skirt. Parisiennes prefer it in the all-time classic material that is leather, which instantly adds a cool factor to their look and can be paired with just about anything.

A Sweater
A simple white T-shirt is a classic wardrobe staple, but, for Bönström, “a sweater is like a new way of proposing a white T-shirt. It has a certain simplicity and is a perfect piece for all occasions. A bit of embellishment and a see-through material and it becomes so rock, but in such a subtle way.”
“The final piece to create that cool Parisian wardrobe is the printed dress,” Bönström declares. “It’s that dress that gives you the feeling of not “wearing” it, but just “sliding” into it.” This wardrobe essential will see you from day to night.

A Party Dress
No Parisian wardrobe is complete without an amazing party dress (or ten), and Zadig & Voltaire has the perfect look in store for you. Bönström recommends wearing this version formally with a black blazer or casually with a black sweater over it and biker boots.
