What to Pack for Paris in the Winter
Layerable Pieces
To survive winter comfortably in Paris, pack lots of layerable pieces like sweaters and button-down tops. Be sure to also bring plenty of separates like blazers or cardigans. Plaid separates are all the rage lately and I’m so obsessed with this trend that I made sure to pack a few! I also can’t get enough of turtleneck sweaters so I brought a ton on this trip. It’s best to stick to neutral-colored ones like black or cream because they can easily be mixed and matched with different coats or bottoms. Speaking of bottoms, jeans are a MUST. You can never go wrong with a pair of simple black skinnies.
Dressy Pieces
It’s always good to have a few dressy pieces on hand in case a special dinner pops up at the last minute. That means bringing a long sleeve blouse or two and a stunning dress. For blouses, I’m into bright colors like red or golden yellow with a higher neckline and fun details, such as ruffles and embellishments. Sleeves always feel just right for the cooler weather.
High-Waisted Pants
I think I’ve been living in high-waisted wide leg pants these last few months but I brought a pair anyway. They feel perfect for such a sophisticated city like Paris. They are not only dressy but they’re versatile and will look great with your turtlenecks or long sleeve blouses.
Winter Coat
Be sure to haul a few stylish winter coats to keep you warm. I brought a luxe faux fur coat, which I know can be worn from day to night. However, I also brought a classy camel coat for daily walks around the city. Everyone looks chic on the streets of Paris so if you want to blend in like a local, a tailored coat is essential. And if you must, you can also pack a casual jacket that doesn’t look too serious.
Low-Heeled Booties
For shoes, I’ve learned that low-heel booties are the way to go. They provide a sophisticated touch that mirrors Paris, but they’re also comfortable for walking in. A style I’m currently obsessed with is the sock bootie but anything with a pointed toe and kitten heel will be perfect!
It might be breezy and cold in Paris during the winter months, but that never dulls its magic. With my packing tips here, you’ll be able to enjoy your visit in style and comfort!
