If you scroll through Who What Wear on any given day, you’d most likely glean that we love French fashion. One might assume that our obsession is rooted in the release of the third season of Netflix’s breakout show Emily in Paris, starring our recent cover star Lily Collins. But in truth, we were about French fashion long before it became a part of the broader zeitgeist. From searching Paris’s runways for trends to scouring our feeds for outfit inspiration, we can’t get enough of everything French adjacent.
So it’s only natural that we turned to them again when thinking about ways to make winter outfits feel more luxurious. After much research, we concluded that only one winter-ready accessory is the key to replicating that je ne sais quoi that’s innate to French women: cashmere scarves. Though it may seem trivial, this accessory can make any outfit look more elegant and make any person (no matter where they live) feel chic.
In an effort to prove the power of this piece, we found examples of how French women are wearing this luxurious winter accessory. Plus, we rounded up the 30 best cashmere scarves across the internet based on price point, sustainability, and wearability. Keep scrolling to see how this plush accessory plays a significant part in Parisian fashion…

– Lingoda, one of the top global online language schools, is partnering with the popular influencers AT Frenchies to illustrate French language mistakes that you do not want to make. With Alex and Tom, both from France and currently based in the U.S., focusing on teaching their 550k online followers about French culture and language in a humorous way, the partnership with Lingoda will be based on common language misunderstandings, in particular between the French and English languages.
With the first reel called “Are you h***y or just hot?”, their followers will learn about embarrassing language mistakes that are often made when starting to learn French – and receive tips on how to avoid them. In their six-part series, the influencers will concentrate on explaining common phrases that could lead to serious faux pas by non-native French speakers.
“The French language really isn’t one of the easiest languages to learn. And we have so much fun teaching our community about mistakes that they really shouldn’t make when starting to speak the language. And with Lingoda also focused on teaching real-life language and cultural context in an online setting just like us, we immediately found that we are a great fit to teach some useful lessons but to also have great fun while doing so,” says Alex Durand from AT Frenchies.
And as both the influencers and Lingoda focus heavily on teaching their followers and students how to speak their new language confidently, the partnership will have some valuable payoff for French language learners.
“As an online language school, we offer live classes with live teachers in four languages. And during our partnership, Alex and Tom have really taken on the roles of our French teachers to prepare our students for real-life situations and phrases that can be used in daily interactions,” says Philippa Wentzel, Lingoda’s Curriculum Team Lead. “And this is what Lingoda is all about – teaching our students what will be both valuable and essential for their daily lives so they can speak their new language with confidence.”
The partnership between Lingoda and AT Frenchies will last from mid-October until mid-December. Within this time frame, their special code ATFRENCHIES50 will give interested students 50% off of their preferred monthly Lingoda classes.

Carolyne Doyon, president and CEO of Club Med North America and the Caribbean, sees a bright future … [+] as the iconic brand grows around the world.
Club Med
Still, all-inclusive trips have not caught on with Americans in the same way they have for European travelers. Club Med wants to change that as it seeks to attract more Americans to its international network of properties. While it recently closed its sole U.S. property in Florida, it is only temporary as Club Med has plans for more to come.
Carolyne Doyon, president and CEO of Club Med North America and the Caribbean, shares where the brand is headed in a post-pandemic vacation world.

With 65 years of expertise operating mountain resorts in Europe and Asia (and today’s growing popularity in outdoor-focused vacations), this is the right opportunity to bring this concept to the market.
Club Med has a growing number of winter resorts (more than 20 at the moment) including in Quebec, … [+] France and Switzerland.
Club Med
Club Med wants to make winter sports more accessible and cost-effective for American travelers, whose options are currently limited to expensive and time-consuming “do-it-yourself” ski vacations. With the brand’s unique all-inclusive mountain vacation model, everything is taken care from lift passes, group ski or snowboard lessons, and guided hiking groups to all-day dining, childcare, and family activities – which are all included.
The plan is to grow by adding 3-5 new resort openings or renovations per year, seeking destinations that are ideal for both families and upscale travelers.

Club Med
The Club Med Exclusive Collection portfolio boasts 19 of Club Med’s most luxurious 5-star accommodations. This will grow to 25 properties by 2025.
