It's no big secret that French women have a reputation for dressing well. Whether it's because they're surrounded by the very best of what fashion has to offer or due to some top-secret styling code passed down for generations, it doesn't much matter.

It's a skill—one that many, myself included, would like to, at last, decode.
That's exactly what I, as someone who's spent a shocking amount of time in her life studying the sartorial decisions made by French women, set out to do below, focusing only on items that can be ordered in an instant on Amazon. Oh, and did I mention that everything is marked down for Amazon Prime's annual Big Deal Days sale event? I probably should have, because they are. Big time. Scroll down to shop the 23 Amazon Prime Big Deal Days finds that I'm convinced French women of all ages would 100% buy.
