Summer Outfit Ideas: 5 Tres-Chic Looks, Inspired by Paris Couture Street Style

By A Mystery Man Writer

On top of mega A-list-packed front rows and sublimely over-the-top runway shows (shotgun-wedding bride, check!), Paris Haute Couture Week also brings out the absolute best in street-style fashion. And while we love layering for the functional aspect—you know, keeping us comfy in inclement weather and overzealous air-con situations—we also appreciate the styling trick for allowing us to constantly refresh and re-wear our favorite pieces. So for a few more ideas, let's look to some of our favorite street-style stars as they dash from show to show in fabulous Pah-ree. Italian blogger Angelica Ardasheva keeps her layers light and summery with texture and color. She combined pastels with a contrast stitched bouclé jacket over a silky cream button down and with soft pink wide-leg trousers—all by Zara. (Bet you thought it was Chanel or something, right? Nice work, Angelica.) Her matching camel-hue Mango sandals and Gianni Chiarini tote bag complete her chic lady-who-lunches outfit. While Chen Shuhuan's punked-out look is actually a dress by Isabel Marant, you could co-opt the layered effect by wearing a distressed black summer sweater over a tank frock. Her cutout booties by Chanel continue the peekaboo, uptown goth-girl theme while her Celine bag summerizes the outfit
