What I Learned By Embracing French Guy Style

As a New Yorker, I’m no stranger to wearing all-black. But Stéphane Bak takes monochromatic dressing to another level, thanks to his outfits’ interesting proportions and play on textures. I recreated this vibe by mixing one of my sportier puffer coats (by Everlane) with a pair of Eytys leather pants and my go-to Indigenous Enterprise hoodie. The end result? A totally cool, on-the-go look for every day. Clearly, wearing all-black doesn’t have to be boring.

Wearing double denim is often called a Canadian Tuxedo or Texas Tuxedo—but even the French love to pile on jeans. Eddy de Pretto’s approach is totally more whimsical though, thanks to the bucket hat, striped shirt, and low-top sneakers. I re-created it with my most-worn Levi’s jeans and an A.P.C. jacket, paired with a Dhruv Kapoor shirt and my new Wales Bonner x Adidas kicks. As a denim obsessee, I will be wearing this look all spring long. C’est bien sûr!

Turns out, this experience is really a master class in pared-back dressing. These stars have taught me that your closet’s seemingly-simple pieces can in fact be very interesting, if you offset them with more unexpected pairings. Jeans—tons of jeans—are a French staple, and that works for me this spring, given it’s my most-purchased item. I’m also totally inspired to put aside my bold, brazen prints in favor of simpler garments that focus on silhouette or cuts. Looking into my closet now, I now see tons of new outfit possibilities. I feel inspired to dress up again. And no, I won’t be wearing an expected beret or Breton stripes—but expect me to be looking especially slick in the days to come.
