The 3 Trends This French It Girl Is Loving for Summer

With over half a million followers, an enviably glamourous Instagram feed and a successful womenswear brand to boot, it's fair to say Anne Laure Mais knows a thing or two about style. The French native began her career as an influencer before launching her own label, Musier Paris, in 2018. With a wardrobe that comprises timeless staples, statement pieces and a few vintage elements for good measure, Mais epitomises everything we love about French-girl style and that je ne sais quoi

As an authority on all things fashion, we thought now would be a good time to talk to the designer about the trends she is loving for summer, as well as the wardrobe staples she can't live without. As to be expected, Mais's responses feature a mix of classic (vintage jeans and white T-shirts) and It-girl cool (zebra print and The Row sandals) as well as many other elements on our summer wish lists. Keep scrolling for everything Anne Laure Mais is championing this summer.
