America’s obsession with nonchalant French style is absolutely justified. These apps can help you chase that je ne sais quoi.
For easy French style
One of France’s first direct-to-consumer brands, Sézane sells moderately priced simple cotton tops, silky slip dresses, delicate knitwear, and cool-girl shoes.
Shop in the Sézane app, where the denim is easy, the jewelry is artsy, and the models make a convincing case for bed head and no-makeup makeup.
For luxury brands and Parisian decadence
From the fashion conglomerate behind Louis Vuitton and Celine comes the upscale retailer 24 Sèvres. Tap around for Isabel Marant frocks, or access the personal-shopping service for an extra-ritzy experience. With a collection curated by in-house stylists and expert buyers, it’s hard to go wrong here.
For finding a steal
Vestiaire Collective is a designer consignment marketplace. Sellers (who no doubt include many a fabulous Parisian) turn their clothing, accessories, and homeware into cash, and buyers can discover Chanel purses and vintage Dior gowns at a fraction of retail prices. Win-win.
For beauty
The Sephora app is your source for all things beauty. Go full French with brands like La Mer and Dior, or simply seek out the ideal ruddy, dusty-red lipstick for you. The app’s filters allow you to sort by brand, finish, and more. If only it had a French-girl filter, it would be parfait.
