I Live in Paris, and I Get So Many Reactions When I Wear These 7 Trends

I’m always enamored with the outfit formulas Emmanuelle Koffi puts together. The Paris-based influencer has perfectly mastered that je ne sais quoi with ensembles that are forward and effortless. In fact, it’s this look featuring a quilted coat and knee-high boots that recently inspired me. The caption read, “Got so many reactions about this look, thank you angels.” Naturally, I was intrigued by the other items and trends Koffi has worn recently that have garnered compliments.

I actually reached out to her and asked if she could share a list of the specific trends she’s been getting A+ reactions on during the season. Her responses were spot-on, focusing on pieces that are versatile yet chic. Honestly, many of the items she’s coveting right now could become staple status in many of our own wardrobes. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out the trends Koffi is all about, complete with visual and shopping inspo.
