Hear “French fashion” and you might immediately think of high-end, couture, designer duds. While we pray to the almighty gods of Chanel and Dior, we also appreciate the more accessible, casual brands that have emerged from France. In honor of Bastille Day (happening right now), I’m bringing you five French fashion lines that are, well, fabulous!

Lacoste has become synonymous with classic, and for good reason. Their perfect polos, structured sweaters and crisp cardigans are closet staples for those with a flare for preppy pieces! Also, if donning that alligator isn’t enough for your ensemble, they’ve paired up with other French fashion great, Catherine Malandrino, and created Lacoste + Malandrino. The collab brings to life even chicer pieces with total French flare, like the Lacoste + Malandrino Drape Dress ($255, SALE: $152.99 certain colors, pictured above!).
