On our first night in Paris, my mom and I grabbed sidewalk seats at a bistro, her with a kir and me with a cappuccino, people-watching in the hours before dinner. It was Friday evening, so we were treated to a parade of well-dressed Parisians heading from work to drinks. For our part, we played the role of a far less sassy Joan and Melissa Rivers, providing private commentary on our favorite looks. A few trends quickly emerged: Black shorts over tights, moto jackets, Polène purses, chunky socks and sneakers. But the chic-est, “Oh this? I just threw this on,” women were all wearing the exact same jacket.
