Straight from Cannes: The French-Inspired Style for Wearing Capri Pants This Summer.

      It's a delightful coincidence that the Cannes Film Festival takes place in May, providing me with ample styling inspiration for the summer season. While the red carpet ensembles spark my creativity, it's the more relaxed moments—like arrivals at the airport, departures from hotels, and casual strolls on the street—that truly influence my summer wardrobe choices. On the third day of the festival, Ariana Greenblatt stepped out of the Hotel Martinez in a beautifully understated and chic outfit, demonstrating that the casual looks at Cannes can be just as captivating as the glamorous red carpet fashion. Her interpretation of the capri pants trend showcased sophisticated elegance with a touch of French influence—enough to encourage even the most hesitant dressers (like myself) to reconsider these divisive trousers.

      In London, many have been pairing capris with pointed kitten heels and relaxed tees, but Greenblatt took a more polished approach. A black beret added a French-girl vibe to her outfit, while a cream knitted top, round-toe black heels, and a classic clutch kept the overall look refined yet effortless. By adhering to a monochrome scheme of cream and black, Greenblatt's ensemble blended the playful nature of capri pants with a subtle confidence—exactly the kind of effortless elegance I aim to embody in my wardrobe this summer.
