Balzac Paris Capsule Wardrobe Elevated French Outfits

Balzac Paris Capsule Wardobe Guide, Parisian Capsule Wardrobe for Effortless Style Image featuring trench coat, black clogs, black bucket bag, pointelle t-shirt and ecru jeans

When I think of French girl style, I immediately go to Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot. Some of their most iconic looks could be worn today without any clue of the decade they came from. Since editing down my wardrobe the past few years, I’ve intentionally added the right basics. To me, a French capsule wardrobe encompasses the basics with pop pieces. High-waisted jeans can be worn with a white t-shirt, add an interesting basket bag, and ballet flats, and you’ve instantly got that French girl je ne sais quoi.

Something I love about Balzac Paris is how much they care about their environmental impact. If you check the composition of any of their products, you’ll find many 100% materials that are fully traceable, sustainable, and/or recycled.

Balzac Paris Capsule Wardrobe Items

Balzac Paris Capsule Wardrobe Items 1-13

1. Willow Ecru Top

The perfect Pointelle white t-shirt to make any pair of straight-leg jeans effortlessly chic. And let’s be real, an elevated basic screams classic french style.

2. Ulysse White Shirt

It wouldn’t be a capsule wardrobe without a white button-up shirt. If you have this wardrobe staple covered I would opt for the bianca pale pink textured shirt.

3. Liseron Shirt with Navy and Khaki Stripes

This 100% cotton shirt has easily become one of my favorite items in my closet. There’s something to be said about pairing a classic silhouette with a fun print that brings life to otherwise basic item.

4. Galant Beige Trench Coat

French women love a trench coat. It’s one of those key pieces that can be worn almost anytime. I love the simplicity of the Galant trench coat. Having the right outerwear that speaks to your personal style is a great way to elevate a look on a cold or rainy day, so a trench coat always has a spot in my closet!

5. Lino Shorts

Nothing excites me more than seeing new stripes in my closet, especially if it’s part of a matching set like these shorts. Pair the set with a trench coat and ballet flats for the perfect Parisian style.

6. Triomphe Shorts

Does a French woman have the same problem as every other woman when it comes to finding shorts? I’ve yet to add these denim shorts to my closet but they seem to have the perfect midrise, room in the thight and length.

7. Pampas Vallon Jeans

These are all-season jeans and one of those key items in your closet that will work with a sweater or a white T-shirt. Personally, I would pair them with anything in their leopard collection.

8. Josy Ecru Dress

This dress has so much to love – it can be worn both ways, with either a V-neck or crew neck. It’s a line and has a beautiful box crochet pattern.

9. Ori Bag

The combination of the palm brading and the leather gives this bag its unique style while also making it one of those timeless classics in your closet.

10. Sofia Bucket Bag

A timeless leather bag is one of those investment pieces I never regret. A girl is always schlepping something with her (me, I’m the girl). Made from European high quality leathers this bucket bag is the perfect everyday item. It also comes with a crossbody strap making it versatile as well.

11.Iolanda Wine Colored Sandals

I would wear these like I would a brown sandal. The wine color and the studs make these a bit more fun yet still neutral enough to wear with most anything in your closet.

12. Gwendoline Clog

Now, these I can see myself wearing instead of sneakers. It’s one of those French fashion items that feels like an elevated garden shoe or Birkenstock that you can dress up easily.

13. Inigo Multicolor Necklace

I only include jewelry in a capsule wardrobe guide when it speaks to me, and this one caught my eye. Made with glass, resin, and pearl beads, this is an easy way to add color to any look. Whenever I find a look too monochromatic, I grab an item like this to add interest!

Balzac Paris Sizing Review

So far I’ve tired the liseron shirt and the lino shorts and have found them true to size. I’m typically a size 6 US and size 38 French, and both fit as expected. I plan on updating this section more as I add more items to my closet!
