I'm an American in Paris, and These Are the 15 After-Christmas French Fashion Deals I'm Shopping From $15

"My Christmas list may have been small this year, but that's because I know the time to shop is when the post-holiday sales start. The week between Christmas and New Year's is the one time of the year when I give myself permission to indulge-in shopping, that is. The festivities don't have to end on January 1 if you have the right travel outfits to keep your spirits high even when temperatures are anything but (which is the case, living in Paris)."

"Whether scouring deals to stand out on the streets of Paris or match the chic looks in the French Alps this winter, I'm eyeing everything from long faux fur coats to vegan leather wrap skirts to blend comfort and style. The reason this is the most wonderful time of the year is that sale season allows some of your dream items to become reality-and with these finds at Amazon, Madewell, J.Crew, Quince, Nordstrom, and more,"

Post-holiday sales provide a prime opportunity to purchase French-inspired winter wardrobe pieces at reduced prices. Key items highlighted include long faux fur coats, vegan leather wrap skirts, and a long-sleeve polo midi dress in midnight olive that pairs well with gold jewelry, faux fur outerwear, and suede knee-high boots. Retailers listed include Amazon, Madewell, J.Crew, Quince, and Nordstrom, among others. The Madewell midi dress is noted as half off with code EXTRA. The overall focus is on blending comfort and style to create Parisian and Alpine-inspired looks during cold-weather travel and city outings.
