Most of our plans meant that once we left our hotel in the morning, we wouldn’t be back until it was time to go to bed. As such, my outfits had to work for almost every eventuality: gallery touring, metro hopping and crêpe eating all the way through to cocktail sipping. Though I stuck to flat shoes, my outfits felt elevated enough to continue wearing after dark, which meant I didn’t feel the need or want to pack two looks for each day.
Now, with Paris city break bookings at record highs, I thought it might be useful to show you what I packed for my own Channel-hop. Below, I’ve outlined in outfit-build form the looks I chose for my trip, which should give you an idea of how I mixed and matched certain pieces and re-wore others. While my attire might be best suited to warm weather, I’m sure there’s plenty of inspiration you can reap from them; even if it means switching out sandals in favour of ankle boots until spring and keeping a coat handy.
Regardless, consider the below your guide on what to wear in Paris when you’ve got a limited carry-on working against you.
