@emilisindlevOkay, okay, boring might sound harsh. Truthfully, I am really not a hater—I'm actually a huge fan of the French-girl aesthetic. My closet full of classic, elevated basics is proof of this. But lately, I have been yearning for outfits that pack more of a punch. To feed this craving, I took a tour of my favorite Instagram fashion follows beyond Paris to find looks from around the world that make a fun statement. I am excited to share that my efforts did not disappoint.
Enter six incredibly cool outfits that span everywhere from London to Copenhagen to Munich. These outfits have influenced me to start rounding out my minimalist-leaning wardrobe with standout pieces. Think one-off pieces with vibrant color, a touch of glitz (hello, rhinestones!), and even bold texture. Keep scrolling to check out these inspiring international looks—a few are perfect for the holiday-party season on the horizon.
