My Parisian Street Style In April

There’s something magical about Paris in April — the soft blush of cherry blossoms, cafĆ© terraces coming back to life, and the subtle shift in fashion as the city shakes off winter. On my recent trip, I was inspired to blend my own style with the timeless, understated elegance that Parisians wear so well. Think tailored layers, neutral tones, and the right amount of undone charm.

In this post, I’m sharing the outfits I wore during my spring days in the city — from strolls through Le Marais to sunset apĆ©ros on a rooftop. Whether you’re packing for your own Paris adventure or just craving some fresh outfit inspiration, here’s my Parisian street style in April.

Linen Jacket + Denim

Wearing a SƩzane linen jacket (I sized up one) with a J.Crew layering top (size medium), Mother Denim (TTS), and my favorite pair of SƩzane Gloria Sandals.

SHOP THE LOOK

Silk Blouse + Denim + Ballet Flats

A silk top is always a beautiful option to wear in Paris. I am wearing a FRAME blouse with a pair of Mother Denim and Chanel ballet flats (will link to a similar option).

SHOP THE LOOK

Tweed Jacket

You can never go wrong with a classic tweed jacket and this navy one from ba&sh Paris is a favorite (I wear a size 2). It’s classic enough to wear with trousers yet also to wear with denim and a pair of ballet flats or sneakers.

SHOP THE LOOK

Black Blazer + Black Silk Pants + Kitten Heels

For dinner one evening, I had planned on wearing a silk cami with this outfit, but it was really cold. Instead, I just wore this J.Crew top under the blazer, a pair of kitten heels, a gold SƩzane necklace, and a black bag.

SHOP THE LOOK

Striped Button Down + Denim + Trench Coat

I always pack a trench coat for Paris, no matter the season, and this time I took the Bobby Trench (I sized down 2 for the perfect fit). A striped button down is another staple I always pack, and this time I went with this Alex Mill (wearing a small).

SHOP THE LOOK

Dress + Kitten Heels

One evening for dinner and drinks on a rooftop I wore this SoldOut.NYC dress which was perfect for the occasion (wearing the dress in small). Since, there was a chill in the air, I wore this Aritzia blazer over the top.

SHOP THE LOOK

Cardigan + Silk Scarf

The weather in Paris in April can still be a bit breezy in the morning, so I packed this Alex Mill cardigan (wearing a size small). I dressed the cardigan up with this YSL silk scarf and wore a silk cami underneath.

SHOP THE LOOK

Denim Dress + Gold Sandals

On a gorgeous spring day, walking around, I wore the Raquel Dress from SƩzane in size 6. I also wear my favorite shoes, the Gloria Sandals (fit is true to size), and I reach for them consistently.

SHOP THE LOOK

Eyelet Blouse + Linen Pants

The latter part of the trip was spent in Provence, and I wore this SĆ©zane top (I sized up) with these Banana Republic pants.

SHOP THE LOOK

Linen Dress + Sandals + Basket Bag

For a day exploring the French countryside, I wore this linen dress from MERSEA (wearing small) with brown sandals, a belt, and a SƩzane basket bag. I added a belt (no longer available) to emphasize my waist since the dress is long and oversized.

SHOP THE LOOK

Cardigan + Scarf + Wide Leg Denim + Ballet Flats

Here’s the whole look of the cardigan with a pair of wide-leg denim and ballet flats.

SHOP THE LOOK

Striped Button Down + Cropped Denim

For a day out in Provence, I wore this relaxed striped button-down from MERSEA (wearing small), along with crop denim (fit TTS), brown sandals, and a basket bag.
