Summer Fashion Essentials for a Trip to Paris, Including Stylish Ensembles
In an exciting turn of events, travel enthusiast and fashion aficionado [author's name] is gearing up for a trip to the City of Lights, New York City, with a fresh wardrobe in tow. This time, the focus is on a versatile, chic, and comfortable 2021 Paris packing list, designed to suit the summer climate while maintaining a fashionable edge.
The updated list, a departure from the 2015 Paris packing list, consists of 22 items, including 3 shoes, 2 bags, and 2 accessories. The clothing essentials are a delightful mix of timeless, well-fitting basics and elevated staples, such as:
- The HommeGirls poplin button-down shirt, perfect for a smart-casual look. - Khaite's Danielle jeans, offering a classic straight-leg style with white washes. - Nili Lotan's blazer, ideal for layering and dressier occasions. - Linen shorts from Massimo Dutti, ideal for casual daytime looks. - The Posse linen minidress, ideal for transitioning from day to night. - Lacoste's ribbed navy polo top, a sporty yet polished option. - Flore Flore's tank top, paired with a Nili Lotan belt for simple sophistication.
When it comes to footwear, the author opts for Chanel slingbacks, a stylish alternative to sneakers that offer comfortable walking around Paris.
The accessories section includes Triomphe sunglasses from Celine for sun protection with a touch of Parisian flair, as well as accessories from Ralph Lauren to complete polished outfits.
For luggage, the author recommends a hard-case bag from Carl Friedrik and a leather duffle from Longchamp, designed for carry-on convenience to avoid checked baggage. A straw tote trimmed in black leather and a statement crossbody bag (convertible into a nighttime clutch) are also included in the list of bags. The statement crossbody bag is available with a 25% discount using the code LONGWEEKEND, just like some clothes at Madewell.
The updated Paris packing list also includes a washed leather moto jacket, which pairs beautifully with the straw bag. To complete the look, the author suggests adding a pair of cool sunglasses and a ball cap for sun protection.
Lastly, the list does not include any sneakers, aligning with Parisian style norms where polished looks are preferred even for days involving a lot of walking. By excluding sneakers, the list replaces them with chic, comfortable alternatives like slingbacks, ensuring you stay stylish and practical without compromising on comfort.
