Want to know how to inject a little Parisian chic into your wardrobe? Cosmopolitan meets the capital's most stylish fashion bloggers.

My favourite brands are Gucci and Louis Vuitton. The Gucci store at 60 Avenue Montaigne is one of the biggest in Paris and has some great boyish jackets. French brand Iro (53 Rue Vieille du Temple) is my go-to for intricate, punk-inspired jewellery.
The ultimate French style staple is a simple Petit Bateau T-shirt. As is a good pair of jeans – the higher the waist, the better. You don’t need to wear fancy clothes to be stylish – just choose classic pieces and add tiny details from time to time. Parisian girls like to be chic and comfortable.
For special statement pieces I have a pair of Balenciaga heels that I wear all the time. I’m also rarely seen without my one Louis Vuitton earring. Jewellery from Corpus Christi (Corpuschristi.fr) is a brilliant way to add detail. It specialises in skulls, flowers and bone motifs, which I love. You’ll find two stores in Paris: one at 64 Rue Vieille du Temple; the other at 6 Rue Ravignan. A leather jacket is an easy statement item too. I found my beloved Balenciaga one on Vestiaire Collective (Vestiaire collective.com), an online retailer that sells the most amazing oneoff designer pieces.
For hidden gems I would recommend The Broken Arm boutique concept store in the Marais (12 Rue Perrée) which stocks brands such as Loewe, Isaac Reina and Lemaire – you always find labels there that are impossible to track down in central Paris. It usually stocks a lot of edgy pieces and it’s always quiet – I don’t think many people know about it.
