In Paris, fashionable women favor this classic trend instead of bombers and blazers.
Apologies, Los Angeles, but Kendall Jenner's finest looks consistently shine in Paris, ranging from runway pieces by The Row to vintage Mugler and Alaïa. Even when she opts for casual attire like jeans and a sweater, her outfits still appear très magnifique. For instance, during her recent visit to the French fashion capital to film a commercial for L'Oréal, Jenner was seen near her hotel, the Ritz Paris at Place Vendôme, sporting a black sweater tucked into blue jeans, black ballet flats, The Row's new and already sold-out Marlo Tote, and *the* big outerwear trend of 2025.

This year, more discussed than bomber jackets and blazers of all shapes, fits, and fabrics is the car coat. With a silhouette tracing back to the early 1900s, car coats are typically knee-length, intended to facilitate sitting comfortably in a car. They can be constructed of various materials, but contemporary versions resemble trench coats and are made from cotton twill, linen, or wool. The design usually features a single-breasted front and a collar. This easy layer has gained significant popularity in the early months of 2025, with women in Paris particularly embracing the style. Well-dressed locals like Sylvie Mus and Anne-Laure Mais frequently showcase car coats on their social media, pairing them with denim and kitten heels for a chic yet relaxed appearance.
Brands like Burberry, Kallmeyer, and The Row are producing them, alongside more budget-friendly retailers such as Zara, Madewell, and Aligne. Truly, your choices for shopping the outerwear trend that Jenner brought to Paris are limitless. Scroll down to begin your selections.
