If there’s one thing I blindly trust French women for, it’s fashion recs. As a Shopping Editor, it’s quite rare that I ask for advice on what to buy; the one exception is my incredibly chic French best friend.

Effortlessly elegant and particularly skilled at cherry-picking high-street pieces that look far more expensive than they are, she’s become something of a muse when it comes to building a polished wardrobe. Her approach is simple: invest in great basics, stick to timeless silhouettes and add just enough personality to stop everything feeling too classic.

So, naturally, when I started thinking about the pieces worth adding to my wardrobe this winter, I asked what was currently on her wish list. Her edit didn’t disappoint. Think dark indigo denim, sumptuous cashmere, beautifully cut coats and jackets, elegant loafers and the kind of understated handbags that make even jeans and a T-shirt look considered.

Some are investment pieces, others are brilliant high-street finds, but they all share that elusive expensive-looking quality she does so well. Keep scrolling for the winter buys my French best friend recommends—and that this Shopping Editor wholeheartedly agrees with.
