There’s nothing like Paris in the Fall. November is one of my favorite times to travel to Paris – the city is quiet before the holiday rush, the leaves have changed colors, and the heat lamps come out at the cafés making the city feel extra cozy.

My En Route to Rêverie Rêverie in Paris clients have the inside scoop on what to see and do in Paris in the Fall, but I thought I’d share what’s always in my bag for a November trip to Paris. If you need help with what to pack for Paris, look no further. 

Paris Packing List for November

1. Classic Wool Coat

The Sézane Johnson coat is such a timeless staple. It’s a great in-between coat to wear before the weather gets truly cold. I recommend sizing up if you plan to wear it over sweaters as it runs a bit tight in the shoulders I found.

I wear a size 8. I own this in both the Sand and the Black colors. You’ll see it reflected in Paris style on other French women, too.

This Madewell topcoat is another similar option. And consider a sleek biker-inspired jacket, or a trench coat!

2. Classic Blazer

I’m a blazer girl through and through and love to style my collection when in Paris in November. Veronica Beard makes the most gorgeous blazer and jackets, and while they’re an investment they are true wardrobe staples. Mango makes a lot of affordable options that look higher end. 

A cropped jacket is also a fun option!

3. Ballet Flats

I never go to Paris without a chic pair of ballet flats. I own and love this two tone Margaux pair which remind me of my beloved Chanel ballet flats! They go with just about everything and are the perfect feminine touch to any outfit.

4. Low Heeled Booties

The Loeffler Randall Isla Booties are one of my most worn pairs of shoes. I’m all about prioritizing comfortable shoes, and these allow for loads of walking while also looking stylish. I pair them with slightly cropped jeans and with dresses or skirts. When I tell you I’ve walked miles around Paris in these!

5. Silk Scarf

I always bring a little silk scarf when I go to Paris as it can add a beautiful accessory moment to more simple, tailored outfits. Tie them on your bags, around your wrist or around your neck throughout your trip.

6. Striped Sweater

I’m obsessed with La Ligne sweaters. They are true wardrobe staples and while this brand is certainly an investment – the pieces are beautifully crafted and made to last and never go out of style. This slightly cropped style is great for pairing with high waisted trousers or denim.

7. Delicate Necklace

This Dorsey necklace is one of my favorite new accessories. It adds the perfect amount of sparkle to any outfit! I try to keep my jewelry and accessories to a minimum, but especially when I travel.

8. Crossbody Bag

I love how polished and timeless this DeMellier crossbody bag looks. It reminds me of the Celine Box Bag but at a much lower price point and still excellent quality. This bag from Sézane is another great option.

9. Umbrella

Fall in Paris means rain — and it’s not if, but when. This travel umbrella is the perfect size and opens and closes with ease. I’ve been bringing it to Paris for several years now and it’s held up so well in the unpredictable weather in Paris.

10. Silk Trousers

These silk trousers from Reformation are a new addition to my wardrobe, and are perfect for a night out in Paris. Pair with a sweater, silky tank, or blazer depending on your mood.

11. Black Trousers

These J.Crew trousers are a w&w bestseller, and if you know — you know! I pair them with everything from sneakers and sweaters to blazers and heels. They’re super versatile, and I never travel to Paris without them.

These wide leg trousers from Abercrombie also have a cult following, I suggest sizing up.

12. Straight Jeans

These classic high rise, straight leg jeans are super flattering. They feel on trend but not too out of my comfort zone! I suggest sizing up 1-2 sizes as this pair has no stretch.

13. Sweater Tee

Layers are key for Paris in November, so I like to pack a sweater tee that I can layer under a blazer or wear on its own. At $50, scoop this one up in a couple of colors!

14. Suede Bucket Bag

I love to incorporate rich fabrics like suede into my wardrobe in the Fall, so this chocolate brown bucket bag is perfect! Large enough to carry around everything you need for a day of exploring in Paris, but still a very chic silhouette.

15. Classic Loafers

These Sam Edelman Loraine Loafers are another fall staple, they elevate any outfit. You’ll also notice a lot of Parisians wear loafers day to day — they are perfect for the cobblestone streets. This is a great option in black. 

16. Stylish Sneakers

A good pair of walking shoes is a must in Paris, and I think Adidas Sambas are the perfect mix of form and function!
