Paris Can Wait is a feast for the eyes not only due to its geographic location set in the South of France and the exiqsuite teasing of the taste buds, but the sartorial selections as well. After sharing my review of Eleanor Coppola’s film starring Diane Lane yesterday (the Petit Plaisir of this week’s episode of the podcast), many asked a question I too had dancing around in my mind: Where can I find her wardrobe? From the stunning French red dress she chooses to wear to dinner on the first night of their 48 hours excursion, (I am still trying to figure out who designed it – I promise I will share if I find out), to the simple sophisticated linen taupe pants and white linen top finished with espadrilles, Lane’s wardrobe is so refined and understated, it sings as though not to compete with the other magnificent sites to see, but all the while becoming quite the star of the show.
Effortless, classic, the underlining premise of building a wardrobe of quality over quantity which enables the woman wearing the clothing to shine.
While I have looked all over the web for the exact label of linen pants without finding the precise pair, I have found many that are similar at a variety of price points. I have also found espadrilles and white linen shirts for you to peruse as well (see all these items at the end of the post). I do hope you find something you love.
~Updated 7/6/17: Many of you have asked about the digital camera she uses and you can find it here from Leica.
~Updated 7/9/17: The sunglasses are Oliver People’s, The Row style (many colors available)
And now, even more linen inspiration. Enjoy!

Those pants with the pleat detail are so typical of French style. Classic, simple, but with a little twist that keeps them from being normcore.
BTW, I love the message of the movie–that there are so many wonderful things to discover, especially off the beaten track, and that every meal can be a revelation.
Thank you for sharing these links and yes, the message, so many of the messages of the film are worth pondering. 🙂
I Love her wardrobe in the movie! Any idea what brand of sunglasses she has?
Okay, so I have been doing some digging. I found these from Garrett Leight – http://rstyle.me/n/cppcvcpm4e – If I find anymore that are similar I will be sure to share. 🙂
Oliver people’s for the row
Here’s the link! Thank you very much Marsha. 🙂 https://oliverpeoples.com/shop/women/sun/the-row-o-malley-nyc#o-malley-nyc-topaz-with-brown-glass
Here are a few more locations to find them as well http://rstyle.me/n/cp67i & http://rstyle.me/n/cp67iupm4e
Thank you so very much for searching, Shannon! 🙂 The wardrobe Diane Lane uses in the movie is so very elegant! Love the findings! Merci et à la prochaine!
Absolutement! C’est mon plaisir. 🙂
I was delighted to find a Uniqlo during my trip to San Francisco. I had purchased two linen long sleeve button shirts and a blazer in the Paris store, where photos of Ines de la Fressange inspired my selection! My amazing finds yesterday were jeans very much like the ones in the Paris Look Book and a simple black sleeveless tunic, all for amazingly reasonable Prices!
I loved her clothing in the movie!!!!
If someone could find that pink dress I would be eternally grateful. I would kill for that pink dress 🙂 Just bought a very nice Linen shirt from NM on sale!
Shannon, I love that you did a post on this. I too loved Diane’s wardrobe. In reply to LindaH the dress link is http://www.revolve.com/privacy-please-reed-dress-in-marchesa/dp/PRIP-WD86/?clickid=3TmTzvwlE3MXQ-pQ6Nwd1w:oUkSSXcUdyQGzTU0&clickid=3TmTzvwlE3MXQ-pQ6Nwd1w:oUkkxbU3keUruX40&d=Womens&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=ran&source=ran&utm_campaign=glob_p_QFGLnEolOWg&ranMID=41816&ranEAID=QFGLnEolOWg&ranSiteID=QFGLnEolOWg-rJtVKfdcvl.4mmMlFccMbg#modal-uid-5676571112 but it appears to be sold out. I love my Viscata espadrilles that I brought to Rome with me last year. Stylish and comfortable!
Thank you very much for your generosity to share the link, as well for your experience with Viscata espadrilles. They are beautiful and considering purchasing a pair myself. 🙂
I purchased this season a beautiful blue and white stripe linen dress from Brooks Brothers that I wear back to a white Jean jacket. It’s in the same body style as the pink above. I get so many compliments when I wear it…I even enjoy running an iron over it with a little sizing spray. The fabric is so lush…..😎
Thank you for sharing! Brooks Brothers is a wonderful site/shop for quality clothing.
Agree…the movie is delightful on so many points! Of course, as designers we also have to comment on the decor. American’s can learn about letting go a bit, letting the imperfections of our homes be the perfection. Like we have “preached” for years…their is a perfect LBD for every home! Can’t wait for you to find the linen suit she had on so we can all splurge! Happy Weekend!-Laurel
I too was inspired by this lovely movie. I felt as though I took a trip to Europe. The beauty of the landscape as well as the food! I too was inspired by the exquisite Diane Lane, her look was so elegant and modest. I was really inspired to study the way she was portrayed in the film. I am about the same age and feel that there is beauty in every stage of our life to be embraced. I think that Hollywood in general is missing it when it comes to promoting beauty at a certain age. It was so refreshing to be entertained without vulgar language or situations. My favorite outfit was the pleated pants! From head to toe, gorgeous understated elegance! Thank you for recognizing this topic and sharing!
You are welcome! 🙂 Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
Do you know which are the sunglasses that she wears?? thanks!!! love them
Milagros, Check out June 23, 2017’s This & That as I found a few similar to what she wore. Here is the link: http://www.thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/this-that-june-23-2017/
I love the navy skirt she is wearing on the picnic. Any thoughts on the brand?
Will begin to look. Great question. So simple, yet sophisticated and timeless.
This skirt is pretty close

Thank you
Any idea about Martien’s black heels?
Love the leather tote she carries. Any idea where I can find it?
A reader shared on July 7th This & That that she believes it is Tod’s. And after doing some digging, she is absolutely correct! It is Tod’s Medium Joy bag in brown. There are many other colors. http://store.tods.com/Tods/US/Tod%27s-Medium-Joy-Bag/p/XBWAMFAV300RIAS812
Thanks was looking for that too:)
Any idea on the colourful wallet ?
Love the wallet too, any idea where to find?
The white blouse she wore was silk and I think the pants were as well since they never wrinkled like linen ALWAYS does 😉
Any idea who made the white blouse?
I’m thinking it is a Bottega Veneta from a few years ago.
Love the style of it.
Wanting to make the navy skirt in the movie, Paris Can Wait. Any ideas please?
I also love the blue skirt. So classically simple.
Yes. That Outfit as well was lovely, simple and classic.
I loved her red cocktail dress in this movie… Do you have any idea for this dress?
I want to find the gold metallic espadrilles Ms. Lane wore withe the navy (?) and white top and blue jacket. Just the look I love.
Hi! Does anyone have figured out where the navy skirt from is? I really want it. Thank you
I am obsessed with her ‘look’ in this film, too, especially the blue leather jacket she throws on near the end. If you find it please share. And I’ll try too!
Will do!
Hi there
Any ideas on the locket she is wearing? I love it.
Yes, me too. I’m very interested in locating the navy leather jacket Diane Lane wore in this film. I’ve only managed to find some zip fronts which don’t have the same appeal. If you come across it please let me know.
Thanks so much.
I’m also interested in the blue leather jacket worn in this movie. Where can I get it? It is very chic!!
I am not sure, but if I find out, I will share. 🙂
Yes. The navy jacket was adorable. Please find
I adore the robe she wore after spent the night at the hotel with her french friend.
It was beautiful. 🙂
I’d like to know where I can find that gorgeous robe she wears during their first hotel stay. Thank you
LOVED the robe. Do you know designer?
It was stunning. I do not, but if I find out, I will be sure to share.
I love the delicate sweater she wore in the last scene when Diane Lane received her chocolate roses. Can you tell me who the designer is?
It was beautiful. I unfortunately, do not know. But if I learn of it, I will be sure to share.
What about the camera where can I get it or what kind of camera is it I love her outfit but interested in the camera Thanks
The link to the camera is in the post! 🙂
I am interested in the long chain with random inserts she wears in the first section of the movie. Does anyone know where to find it?
