Today, sadly, we bid adieu to our Paris in 30 Days pop-up blog — but not before sending local photographer Nabile Quenum to capture one last look at the early summer sartorial inclinations of French city dwellers. This month, Parisian sidewalks were awash in sleek, minimalist designs: long vests and soft cardigans in black, white, and grays; oversize jackets; and elegantly draped maxi-skirts. For those who weren’t wearing Balenciaga boots or Céline heels, the footwear of choice was almost unanimously sneakers (including a pair of Nike x Riccardo Tisci kicks), paired with black tights or leggings for a fashionably pragmatic look. Click through the slideshow for a look back at effortlessly chic Parisian springtime dressing, from jean jackets to slouchy leather dresses.
