Trend of the week: French travel chic

Wanderlust never looked so good, says Annmarie O’Connor

INSPIRATION

What do you get when you mix Parisian insouciance with peripatetic

cool? French label Isabel Marant, that’s what.

The cult blend of Gallic nous and breezy bohemia has made Marant the go-to uniform for fashion editors, celebrities and models-off-duty.

Expect easy-to-wear tailoring mixed with dip dye techniques, quilting and ethnic embroidery across quilted jackets, broderie tops and drawstring dresses.

Etoile – the little sister to the mainline range makes a priceworthy

option for the urban gal with itchy feet.

On a budget? Check out our high street homage below!

STYLE NOTES

- The day tripper is in the detail. Look to embroidery and emblem stitching on tops, jeans or accessories for a subtle nod to the trend.

- Suede ankle boots remain a hot season staple when worn with shorts. Prefer more coverage? Opt for tie dyed skinny jeans with strappy heeled sandals.

- There’s a fine line between tacky tourist and global traveller. Nail

the look with a ‘less is more’ approach.

- Ethnic jewellery (especially silver and turquoise) can make even the most humble jean and tee combo look worldly.
