This fall is all about comfort with a feminine touch. And honestly, it's about time. For years we were told that looking put together meant stiff waistbands and jeans so tight you couldn't sit down at dinner. A French woman would never accept that. She wants to feel good first, and look beautiful because she feels good.

This season, the runways finally agree with her. Pants are wider, softer and more relaxed, but never sloppy. The secret is in the balance: an easy silhouette, a beautiful fabric and one little detail that reminds everyone (and yourself) that you are a woman.
