ESSENTIALS ON MY PARIS PACKING LIST

CHIC OUTERWEAR

A trench coat is one of the best things to bring because not only does it act as a light jacket without looking like an American windbreaker, but it’s timeless and very French!

CHIC OUTERWEAR

Not only is a blazer semi-practical, but it will instantly make all your outfits look better. I plan to wear my blazers with my jeans, skirt, and dresses. ’m bringing a classy black blazer and one of my favorite thrift finds, a structured camel blazer.

CARDIGAN

Part outerwear part top- that’s the beauty of this versatile clothing piece. A white, beige, or cream cardigan is not just a spring must-have, it’s a French girl must-have too! I’ll be wearing mine tucked into jeans, over a basic tee, with my floral wrap dress, slip dress, skirt, and well, everything!

WALKING SHOES

Everyone needs a pair of shoes (or two) that won’t make them want to cut their feet off by the end of the week. For stylish walking shoes, these high-quality loafers, cushiony ballet flats, and stylish white sneakers will be my go-to shoes, switching out to a block heel for pictures or a nice dinner.

BASIC TEES

A few different color options in a short sleeve shirt are great for a Paris trip. They’re easy to pack, simple to wear, and allow you to create a lot of different outfits. As you know by now, neutral colors are the bread and butter of a classic and/or Parisian wardrobe. But for spring, I’m packing a lot less black and dark navy and instead, more beiges, grays, and whites, with a few pops of red.

CHIC DRESSES

Thinking through my itinerary, I won’t actually have a place to wear the infamous little black dress. Instead, I’m going for the little white dress instead. Well, ivory that is. Parisian women are big fans of the slip dress. It’s perfect for the warmer weather, can easily be worn with an outer layer, and can be dressed up or down.

CHIC DRESSES

For warm spring days, a floral wrap dress is a must. I’ll be wearing mine with my cardigan, basket bag, gold coin necklace, and slides!

STYLISH BAG

It’s helpful to have at least one crossbody bag to keep your hands free, so I will be bringing my one and only Chanel bag. I’m also bringing a structured Hermès look-alike for classy outfits, a straw bag to offset the seriousness of my black clothes, and a basket bag because it will look Parisian chic with my floral wrap dress and ballet flats.

STRAIGHT JEANS

Skinny jeans aren’t “out”, but they’re not the preferred pair of jeans as of late. Vintage, slim, or straight leg jeans are what don the streets of Paris and you’ll see me following suit. One white and one blue pair of jeans is all you need!

STRIPED SHIRT

You don’t have to be all cliche and wear your striped tee with a trench coat, beret, and baguette at the same time, but still, a marinière is an actual wardrobe must-have for French women. It’s not just a myth! I’ll be wearing mine with my classic jeans.

SILK SCARF

I love how a scarf is so chic and really ties an outfit together. Look for a slightly larger silk scarf that can also double as a chic headscarf too! You can wear this with your jeans and basic tees to dress down the outfit and still make it look casual chic.

GOLD JEWELRY

Rest assured, you don’t need to pack a giant jewelry pile to look chic. I’m only bringing two things: gold hoops and a gold coin necklace. I know I’ll be set! These classic items match everything and anything and add just the right amount of class to an outfit.
