I travel to Paris and London frequently and I am sharing with you a guide about what to wear to these cities.
I usually go to Paris and London in the Spring or Fall, but I have been there in the Summer too.
With that in mind, I have shared some of my favorite pieces that you can layer easily.
I always fit all of my clothes onto a carry-on bag. I’ve heard horror stories of lost checked bags on international trips – especially stories of this happening in Paris because France frequently goes on strike!
Imagine going to the most fashionable city without clothes! The horror!
Tops and Tees
Nº 1 // A Breton Striped Tee– You have to wear a striped tee in France!
Nº 2 //A white and grey t-shirt – A white tee and grey tee go with everything.
Nº 3 // A Nice Blouse – You need a blouse that you can wear to a nice restaurant.
Nº 4 // Chambray Shirt – I like this shirt because it goes with everything and is fashionable.
Nº 5 // Sleeveless Shirt – It is nice to pack a sleeveless shirt or tank top because that way you are prepared for unexpected (or expected!) warm weather! Sometimes the museum can become very hot too.
Outerwear and Dresses
Nº 6 // A Black Blazer – This is essential as you can dress this blazer up or down.
Nº 7 // Long Sweater Cardigan – A long sweater cardigan is great for layering and on the airplane and for cooler days.
Nº 8 // A Little Black Dress – A LBD is a wardrobe staple and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
Nº 9 // The Trench Coat – You need a trench coat that will keep you dry in Europe! It frequently rains there for all seasons, except the middle of Summer.
Jeans and Pants
Nº 10 // Jeans – The Europeans love skinny jeans.
Nº 11 // Black Skinny Jeans– You can’t go wrong with a pair of black skinny jeans. They are nice because you can dress then up or down as well.
Shoes
Nº 12 // Ballerina Flat – The ballerina flat is a must-wear in Paris.
Nº 13 // Black Booties – Black booties and boots never go out of style, especially in Europe!
Nº 14 // Mules and Loafers- If you are going to London or Paris in the warmer months, I suggest wearing some slip on mules or loafers instead of bringing booties.
Nº 15 // Retro Cool Sneaker – I have been wearing these Converse Chuck Taylors to Europe for years and every time I go, Europeans ask me where I got my shoes. *smirk, they think I’m cool*
Accessories
Nº 16 // A Scarf – You must bring one scarf with you for the plane and then buy all other scarves in Paris.
Nº 17 // A Cross bodybag – A small cross body shoulder bag is perfect for your slim camera, passport, wallet, travel umbrella, and lip gloss. Honestly though, buy a bag in Paris when you’re there.
Nº 18 // a Necklace– Accessorize your outfit with a necklace. I recommend a simple necklace as the big bold necklaces are not fashionable there. The scarf instead is worn as a statement necklace.
Nº 19 // Travel Umbrella – Who knows when it’s going to rain.
Nº 20 // A watch – I find that when I go to Europe I wear a watch compared to when I am back in the US. I usually use my cell phone in the USA, but as I frequently don’t carry my phone there, I actually wear a watch to tell the time.
Nº 21 // Sunglasses – I always wear a pair of chic sunglasses to Europe. You will find yourself walking around outside a lot (8-10 miles per day!) and you will find some sunglasses very helpful!

I was creating a board in my head so I decided to write about one!
