5 Chic French Women Told Me These Are the Only 2025 Trends They Actually Care About

It might surprise you how many times in a week that the words “what would a French woman do?” sneak into my thoughts. An example: I’m hosting at the weekend and I can’t think what to make for dinner. What would a French woman do? I have a winter wedding and want to look chic at it but also not feel freezing for the entire duration. What would a French woman do? Indeed, I have long admired the French way of approaching, well, just about anything. I try to avoid making sweeping statements, but I can’t help myself—these people exude a chicness that I want to emulate every way I can.

Now, seeing as we’re in the early days of 2025, much of my work day is spent analysing and looking for new trends that I think you, our dear Who What Wear reader, should know about. So, naturally, I wound up thinking about the 2025 fashion trends French people will wear. This piqued my interest. Instead of waiting to see what they choose, I thought I’d ask them directly. I asked five very stylish French influencers which 2025 fashion trends they’re most interested in this year. As expected, they gave some very acute answers.
