It can be hard to know what to wear these days. It’s freezing one day and suddenly feels like spring the next. Lucky for us, it actually will be spring in just seven days! (Insert flowers, hatching chick, and dancing lady emoji here.)

To navigate the tricky in-between-season dressing, we decided to take a peek at how our favorite Parisians approach winter to spring transitional dressing.
One outfit formula that popped up on almost every French girl’s Insta feed is the simple yet charming cardigan and jeans combo. Trench coats are also back in full force—ready for those April showers.
