      At Who What Wear, there's an unspoken guideline that team members must share details about stylish outfits they spot during their time in Paris. So, when Hannah Almassi, Managing Director of Who What Wear UK & Marie Claire UK, arrived at King’s Cross after taking the Eurostar this week, she quickly shared her eagerly awaited observations. Her key finding? In the heart of France, fashionable women are currently sporting white trousers with black shoes. This refined approach to urban attire didn’t surprise me, as this chic combination seems to be trending in Paris right now. It may appear simple, but I had anticipated that tan shoes would be more prevalent than black, especially considering the weather conditions the city is facing at the moment. Still, the pairing is undeniably fresh and suitable—perfect for the sunlit streets of the capital—and encapsulates the French summer style philosophy: straightforward yet sophisticated.

      White trousers, which are smarter than denim yet equally versatile, provide an effortless way to enhance your outfit. Add in the striking contrast of black shoes, and you have a look that feels deliberate and remarkably stylish. While this trend seems to be taking hold in Paris, I’ve noticed it gaining popularity on this side of the Channel as well. It’s sleek and sophisticated without being overly complicated, appealing to London’s penchant for clean, modern aesthetics.
