My Paris Packing List
3 Looks, 1 city, Endless Outfits
It’s the most magical time of the year when it’s the week before Thanksgiving because my friends and I hop on the big bird to Paris for a weekend that’s filled with croissants, art and lots and lots of strolls. I look forward to this weekend so much because it’s a quick jolt of culture and fun to recharge my batteries before the holiday (mom mode) rush.
To me, packing for Paris is a study in balance, equal parts practicality and romance. You want to be comfortable enough to wander aimlessly through the Marais, but chic enough to say oui to a last-minute dinner reservation on the Left Bank. Every piece has to earn its spot in the suitcase, pulling double (or triple) duty without sacrificing style. I’ve broken my packing list into three effortless categories because, in Paris, your outfit should feel as adaptable and inspired as the city itself.
Daytime
Think café terraces, cobblestone strolls, and pretending you’re not on your third croissant. Paris by day is all about effortless polish: relaxed denim, crisp shirting, flats that actually stand a chance on uneven streets, and a coat that makes you look like you have somewhere very important to be (even if it’s just lunch). For fall I’m packing these boots by Margaux and my new Almada the Label coat.
Janessa Leone Blanket Scarf, Margaux Chelsea Boots, Toteme T Lock Bag, Almada the Label Gray Coat, Almada Black Top, Straight Leg Denim, Aritzia Black Wool Sweater, Black Belt
Evening
Because the same city that lives for espresso also lives for champagne. Evenings in Paris are your moment to lean in to a slip dress, a bold lip, a heel you can dance in, and a little black bag that feels like it’s keeping secrets. The vibe is less “dressed up” and more “I didn’t try, but somehow it’s perfect.”

Day to Night
For the days that start with museums and end with martinis.The key here is versatility. Think: elevated basics that play well under sharp coats and over cocktails. I’m most definitely packing my new Nour Ammour suede trench. Paris rewards those who can pivot stylishly without ever going home to change.
Nour Hammour Suede Coat, Tory Burch Boots, Agolde Jersey Top, Kallmeyer Denim, Liffner Black Satin Pouch, Fair Isle Wool Sweater, Jennifer Behr Earrings,
That Almada coat is such a good call for fall Paris. Looks chic but still works for all the wandering.
Everything about this is perfect 🤎
