Country Chic: Countryside Style with a Parisian Twist

A weekend in the countryside on the horizon? No need to leave your style behind in the city! This season, we’re taking inspiration from equestrian wardrobes and English cottagecore: khaki boots, cable-knit sweaters, checks, chocolate leather and leopard print all slip effortlessly into your weekend bag. These timeless classics, reimagined with a romantic twist and a few carefully chosen accessories, deliver a country-inspired look without sacrificing Parisian chic.

A scarf tied in your hair, around your neck or even onto your bag: sometimes, one small detail is all it takes to give an outfit a country feel. At Gina Tricot, this cotton bandana features a graphic brown print with a vintage vibe. Easy to style, it instantly gives jeans and a white shirt a fresh twist.

With Aigle’s Cottage Boots, rubber boots leave the mud behind and step straight into the wardrobes of the style set. Their olive-green hue and equestrian look make them the perfect companions for countryside getaways and rainy days in the city alike. Style them with straight-leg jeans, a roll-neck sweater and a long shearling coat for an elegant look, even in the rain.

It doesn’t get much more iconic than a cable-knit sweater, especially one by Ralph Lauren. The brand offers a camel version with a roll-neck, crafted from wool and cashmere—just right for rural weekends. Layer it over a white shirt, add dark-wash jeans and a beautiful leather belt, and you’re ready to channel the Royal Family on a country jaunt.

With its Victorian collar and ruffles, this Figaret shirt brings a romantic touch to the country wardrobe while staying true to the theme with its checked pattern. Let it peek out from beneath a chunky sweater, or wear it on its own with jeans and leather boots: just the right amount of frills to breathe new life into the classics.

Designed by GANNI x Hunter, this waterproof leopard-print bucket hat takes on the rain without sacrificing an ounce of style. Its feline print shakes up traditional outdoor wear, while the fastening cord adds a practical touch. Wear it with a trench coat, a parka or a suede jacket to liven up even the most understated outfits when the skies turn grey.

At Petite Mendigote, this design reworks navy and burgundy checks with a deliciously retro feel. A ruffled high neck, gathered shoulders and removable shoulder pads add dimension to this decidedly vintage-inspired blouse. Tuck it into corduroy trousers and finish with ankle boots and a leather belt for a look full of character.

Brown is everywhere this season, and Sézane puts it centre stage with its Fletcher lambskin leather coat. A detachable shearling collar, flap pockets and a tapered hem give it that extra touch of vintage charm we love. Throw it on open over a knit for a countryside-inspired silhouette… right in Paris!

To give jeans some character or add a twist to a simple dress, the right belt makes all the difference. Golden Goose opts for mahogany leather adorned with cabochon studs, bringing a Western spirit that instantly gives any look an edge.

At Eric Bompard, the scarf gets a luxurious upgrade. Crafted from ultra-fine 100% cashmere, the Stan Paisley square scarf features an ornamental pattern of swirling motifs and floral inspirations, in a palette of navy, olive and light blue that fits the countryside mood perfectly. Tie it around your neck, weave it into your hair or drape it over your shoulders to refresh your look with elegance.

To complete the look, turn to this statement jacket by Free People. With its relaxed, bohemian feel, this tartan blazer pairs naturally with jeans, a ruffled shirt and cowboy boots. It strikes the perfect balance between laid-back style and countryside romance, whether you’re heading off for a rural escape or staying in the city.
