Paris is also home to the super chic Inès de la Fressange, Jane Birkin and Caroline de Maigret, who embody this aspirational charm. Parisian girls are known for their effortless chicness and coolness. Today, the new Jane Birkins have Instagram accounts that are an endless source of outfit inspiration. And here the ones you should follow.
