Chic jetsetters are off to Provence this summer—here are 7 classic outfits they're bringing in their luggage.

      With schools out for summer and August approaching quickly, the vacations we’ve been longing for are finally almost here. Although Tuscany’s sun-drenched shores will always feel like home, this year, it’s the vineyards of Provence that are beckoning me. From wandering the honey-colored streets of hilltop villages like Gordes to enjoying refreshing glasses of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the vineyards of the Rhône Valley, wine country is precisely where I want to be right now.

      Provence has been enchanting visitors for decades, making it clear why it’s a favorite among fashion enthusiasts. Surrounded by the glistening Mediterranean Sea, its patchwork of olive groves and lavender fields is so picturesque, it seems straight out of a postcard. After booking a trip earlier this year (and with only days to go), I’m now contemplating what to wear.

      With the region well-known for its classic French elegance, I naturally began with my go-to selection of lightweight linens and airy maxi dresses. The challenge was adding that extra flair. Fortunately, this summer, the feeds of the most stylish locals are overflowing with inspiration. Think trendsetting bloomer trousers paired with whisper-soft blouses, or timeless Broderie Anglaise sets accented with delicate yet luxurious accessories. In the French fashion scene, attention to detail is essential. After discovering seven classic outfits, I knew you’d want to see them too before heading to Provence. Scroll to explore—and of course, shop—the best looks to emerge from France this summer.

      What to Wear in Provence in Summer 2026:

      1. Lace-Trim Tank Top + Lace Trousers + Mary Janes

      Style Notes: You can’t venture to Provence without including at least one lace-trimmed top and a pair of Broderie Anglaise trousers. With a laid-back classic vibe, Ingrid Vinsen [pictured above] refreshes the look by pairing it with contrasting Mary Jane ballet flats in a deep hue. Finished with delicate jewelry, it’s the perfect day-to-evening outfit.

      Shop the Look:

      - FARM RIO: Richelieu Broderie Anglaise-Trimmed Jeans - A piece that will stay in your rotation for years.

      - Alaïa: Leather Mesh Ballet Flats - This ring would look stunning when stacked.

      - LIÉ STUDIO: The Olga Bangle - The perfect finishing touch.

      2. Sheer Blouse + Bloomer Trouser + Flip Flops

      Style Notes: When you exchange heavy jersey for light separates, your ensemble instantly feels a bit more French, right? Need proof? Look at Jeanette Madsen’s all-white outfit [above]. The stylish bloomers add drama, and the delicate blouse feels more on-trend than if paired with denim. While bare feet are suitable for a yacht, if you’re exploring the city, consider styling with a classic raffia shoulder bag and understated leather flip-flops.

      Shop the Look:

      - Arcina Ori: Alessandra Top - This top has been trending across my social feeds this summer.

      - Free People: Forever Young Bloomer Pants - Now available in 17 vibrant colors.

      - Polène: Known for some of the most chic bags.

      - Reformation: Jessie Thong Sandal - Choose sandals with a contrasting strap for added visual interest.

      - AKIND: Sculptural Drop Ring - This would look great stacked with the By Pariah ring.

      3. Peplum Top + Capri Leggings + Strappy Sandals

      Style Notes: You can never go wrong with white in summer, especially in France. If you want to add some variety, consider a print instead. Salome Mory (pictured above) embraces polka dots to give a whimsical touch to her capri leggings and peplum top ensemble. Paired with strappy sandals and a micro pouch bag, I can envision myself in this look at one of the region’s many vineyards.

      Shop the Look:

      - Faithfull: Iria Polka-Dot Linen Top

      - FAITHFULL: Faithfull Linen Polka-Dot Iria Capri Trousers - Also available in black and white.

      4. Statement Maxi Dress + Kitten Heel Sandal + Clutch Bag

      Style Notes: Every summer getaway deserves at least one standout outfit, and nothing makes a statement quite like a bold dress. Keep accessories minimal to let your dress shine. A simple pair of kitten heel sandals and a matching clutch are all you need.
