Want French-Girl Style? Meet the Brand Your Wardrobe's Been Missing

We all have that one friend who worships all things French-girl style (or maybe you are her), and her wardrobe is nothing short of chic. But whether it’s a private appreciation or a tricolor flag she waves proudly, it’s less about the clothes and more about a lifestyle built around thoughtful, timeless pieces. So whenever we receive word that a new brand is offering up that je nais se quoi we’re constantly chasing after, we ask three questions: 1) What is it? 2) Where can we shop it? 3) What’s its Instagram handle? And today we have answers.

Avec Les Filles (“with the girls” en Français) is the Los Angeles–based contemporary brand that combines the sensibilities of French dressing with a California ease. The woman behind it is a name you may recognize: Joyce Azria left her post as BCBGeneration’s creative director last year to launch Avec Les Filles, which we expect will soon be known for its cool-girl staples and elevated accessories. What’s more, you can even shop the brand-new brand online at Macy’s and in over 155 in-store pop-ups at Macy’s locations across the U.S. In the past, we’ve been known to encourage you to shop a new It brand before your friends do, but we’re making an exception this time: Go ahead and share the wealth.

Saying oui? Make like a Parisian and shop our favorite pieces from Avec Les Filles below. (PS: How do you say “Can I borrow that?” in French?)

This slightly boxy boyfriend shirt is versatile and chic at the same time. Wear it to the office with a tailored pair of trousers or with relaxed jeans and a blazer for the weekend.

Bomber jackets are our go-to for off-duty outfits, but the feminine details on this updated satin bomber make it a great third piece to pair over a midi dress and heels.

The mock neck of this ruffle-sleeve top adds a sophisticated and sleek touch to the playful silhouette. Go for the unexpected by wearing it under a sleek slip dress, or pair it with jeans in a darker wash for a casual weekend look.

This striped tee was made for layering. Tuck it into a pair of black jeans, or layer it with a pastel-colored bomber jacket.

The detail on this lace-up sweater is classic and cozy. The cropped hem makes it ideal to pair with sleek trousers or high-waisted denim and sneakers.

Found: a romantic ruffled dress you can dress up or down. Pair it with a structured jacket for date night, or wear it over jeans.

Skip the denim, and opt for a cool pair of joggers instead. The side stripe lends a modern take on athleisure trend without looking sloppy.
