What to Wear in Paris

The city of love is calling. With its winding, cobbled streets, bustling bakeries, and iconic landmarks and attractions, Paris really is the place to be. Especially since hosting the Olympics, many have become obsessed with travelling to the capital of France to explore all of the unique offerings.

But what do you pack to take you from day to night in the most fashionable city in the world? Parisian women have an effortlessly chic look, with clean tailoring and sleek designs at the forefront of their style. Rarely will you see graphics or large logos, or even stacks of jewellery. By opting for clean, minimal pieces, small prints, and one or two well thought out accessories, you are certain to fit in with the Paris crowds. Read on for a full breakdown of what to wear in Paris.

Tailored Paris Clothing: Blazers

When it comes to tailoring, blazers are the king of outfit elevation.

Ultra easy to style over anything, from sun dresses to tailored separates, to jeans and a T-shirt, a blazer is perfect for packing in your suitcase and wearing from day to night to block out the evening chill.

When it comes to fit, relaxed silhouettes are very Parisian. Single breasted is generally preferred to maintain that all important minimalism - as well as being easy to style over just about anything in your suitcase.

Dresses for Paris

Add some contrast to your outfits with a dress that goes seamlessly from day to night. Ideal for going from wandering the Louvre to a traditional French dinner, exploring Versailles then grabbing a glass of champagne, our range of holiday dresses is ultra varied and perfect for a versatile, comfortable, and reliable Paris outfit.

Wear with sleek slingbacks or sandals and your trusty blazer for a levelled up approach to a city break outfit.

What to Wear in Paris: Denim

When it comes to denim staples, the Parisian style has it nailed. With darker washes having more popularity, and minimal designs at the forefront, denim can easily be just as elevated as a tailored dress or pair of trousers. Steer clear of embellishments or distressing, and opt for clean silhouettes like straight legs, relaxed wide legs, or statement flared legs.

Of course, jeans are not the only denim design you can reach for. A denim dress or skirt has a classic, timeless sense, and is easy to style and comfortable to wear from croissants and coffee to evening strolls along the Seine.

Paris Clothing: Coats

It doesn’t get more classic than a trench coat. If heading across the channel in the coldest months, an outer layer that doesn’t cover the outfit, but adds to it, is essential.

A timeless trench coat is the perfect outer layer for any European city. Formal enough to be worn to dinner, while thick enough to protect from the elements when exploring, our range of trench coats is varied, perfect for any personal style.

Made with the highest quality Italian wools, featuring a huge range of shades and colourways, our trench coats are certain to inject personality into your Paris clothing and fill you with confidence no matter the weather.

Shoes for Paris Outfits

Finally, we come to footwear.

Your choice of shoe should be comfortable enough to take you through your entire day, as Parisian women are known for never needing to change their shoes. Experience effortlessly chic looks when you finish even the most casual jeans and T-shirt ensemble with a pair of pointed toe loafers or strappy slingbacks.

Pointed toes bring with them a sense of fierce confidence, and instantly add personality and formality to any outfit. They can also be styled with anything in your suitcase, so whether floating through the city in a maxi dress, or in shorts and a crop top, a pair of sleek shoes can create a whole new outfit.
