Even heading for a café-au-lait at the local in a breton stripe and loose chignon, the French girl style at its most casual is to be envied and emulated in equal measure.

IKKS is a contemporary French brand we've perennially got our eye on, so let's take a little look at why we'll be foraging there for our Autumn/Winter staples.
