New Season, New French Girl–Inspired Looks: Here’s What Our Editors Are Wearing

While many of us are no longer in school, that won’t stop us from channeling back-to-school shopping. The same fun process still applies, but now, we’re simply shopping for a new season instead of a new semester (minor detail). Currently, our editors are excited about spring pieces that give off a French-girl vibe (are you surprised?) and make us feel like we’re on spring break all over again. Longchamp’s University Collection couldn’t have launched at a better time—it includes all the chic Parisian-inspired details we know and love from the brand with back-to-school essentials such as denim jackets, logo tees, and leather shoulder bags. Who What Wear editors Anneliese Henderson, Lauren Eggertsen, and Michaela Bushkin styled their favorite looks from the collection for their very own school picture day, and spoiler: They’re guaranteed to get you excited for spring.

“I can still recall the smell of the stores when my mom and I used to head to the mall for our spring shopping. A fashion-obsessed person my whole life, I had to show up to school in fresh ‘fits whenever a new season started. While it’s been years since I went shopping for school, I still like to re-create that magic when I’m shopping for each new season. This spring, I’m headed straight to places I know will have on-trend pieces. I picked out this crochet (a must-have fabric right now) maxi dress covered with little flowers and paired it with a bright yellow jacket for a sunny-day vibe. And I always say that the accessory makes an outfit, so I had to add the Roseau bag to the look. I love that it’s a neutral color, so not only did it pair perfectly with what I was wearing, but it will work with all my outfits for the rest of the year. Plus, it has a crossbody strap for when I’m on the go.” — Anneliese Henderson, Senior Editor

“While I’m no longer shopping to go back to school, I do love treating the start of each new season as a chance to refresh my wardrobe, and that’s exactly what I did with these new Longchamp pieces. This light pink set is what my closet has been missing for spring. I’m currently obsessed with this elegant color, and the fit is perfection. This piece is lightweight, comfortable, and easy to dress up or down depending on my spring activity du jour. Finishing the look with the Roseau bag takes this look to a level that’s somehow trendy and classic. This bag is about to become a forever staple in my wardrobe. I can’t wait to wear it regularly this spring and beyond.” — Lauren Eggertsen, Editorial Director

“I used to take picture day very seriously. I’d wake up extra early to do my hair, practice my smiles in the rearview mirror on the car ride to school, and plan out multiple outfits before landing on the perfect one. I love channeling this back-to-school energy when shopping for a special event or a new season. For spring, I’ll be wearing dresses like this crepe midi style from Longchamp on repeat. I love that it can be dressed down with a leather and crochet vest and flat strappy sandals for vacation or dressed up with heels and a blazer for an evening dinner or drinks date. The star of the show is the Roseau bag, which is the perfect size bucket style handbag that fits everything I need and has the most buttery leather feel that’s so luxe. This olive color will be on repeat for months to come.” — Michaela Bushkin, Fashion Director
