This Is the One Pair of Jeans French Women Always Wear

According to Sézalory, the biggest denim trend for French women is actually no trend at all. As I mentioned above, my theory is that the trick to finding jeans like the French do is to not look at trends, and she confirms this: "I'd say instead of falling for the latest fashion trend, French women prefer their collection of trustworthy essentials. A good pair of jeans is one of them. I can't speak for all women, but I think this year, French women will be reaching for timeless styles that outlive trends."
However, I wanted to know if French women wanted to get on the skinny-jean bandwagon, as we've seen them come back around again. "The perfect straight-leg jean is a wardrobe essential that flatters most body types," says Sézalory. "And French women really love an effortless style! The style tends to have a perfectly balanced stretch and soft material, which acts as a second skin." So that's good news, then, if you're a skinny-jean fan.

Finally, if in doubt, opt for darker denim, as Sézalory says this will go with everything and "fits every season." Got all that? Keep scrolling for our pick of the jeans we know French women will invest in this season and way beyond.
