What I’m Packing for Paris in the Fall

October 16, 2024

Paris in the Fall Packing List

In a few days I will head back to my favorite city in the world. As I always enjoy sharing my packing lists with you all so today I’m sharing what’s packed in my suitcases for this late October and early November trip.

What I’m Packing for Paris in the Fall

This trip I have a lot planned as I continue to expand my En Route to Rêverie Rêverie in Paris recommendations. I’m excited to be testing out loads of new spots for future and returning clients.

Packing for these longer stays in no small feat! But it is made easier due to the fact that I bring a lot of the same staples with me every trip to Paris regardless of the season so pieces will look familiar from other Paris Packing Lists I’ve shared in the past.

And if you are curious on how to put together outfits featuring the pieces seen here – check out my What to Wear in Paris in the Fall post.

1. Sezane Clyde Trench

I am forgoing bringing my usual go-to Sezane Scott Trench and instead opting for this more relaxed style I recently bought. I sized down to a 4.

2. Ankle Crop Jeans

I always opt for an easy, ankle length jean when going to Paris because they end up working with the majority of shoe styles I pack for the Fall – loafers, sneakers, ballet flats and even ankle boots. 

3. Striped Knit

This LaLigne sweater I own in four colors now. It is my most worn striped sweater. I am also bringing the solid in black this trip as it is so good for layering. 

I sized up to a L. I love the extra long sleeves on it.

4. Button Down

I always bring a button down as a French staple building block while overseas and this one by Jenni Kayne has an oversized fit making it great on its own or layered. 

I wear it in a size small.

5. Silk Tank

For warmer days, a silk tank is perfect for layering under my packed blazers and little tweed jackets. This one is washable and packs up to basically nothing. I always, always travel with it. Size M.

6. Leather Jacket

Fall in Paris is quintessential leather jacket weather. On cooler days I’ll layer mine under my trench coat.

7. Travel Umbrella

I know it’ll rain several days when I am overseas so I will never be without my favorite, trusty travel umbrella.

8. Adidas Sneakers

Normally I opt to bring my go-to clean, white sneakers but this year I was craving a sportier vibe for some of the pieces I am packing so I’m bringing this pair instead.

9. Triomphe Belt

A simple yet striking belt I wear with jeans and trousers.

10. Ballet Flats

I’ve never gone to France without my favorite ballet flats. They are great for traversing all over the city and the two tone makes them easy to style a multitude of ways. This pair is similar.

11. Little Black Bag

I always have a little black bag with me to carry throughout the day and for every evening out. I am bringing a few bags but this Celine Triomphe from my bag collection is great for day or night.

12. Tweed Jacket

I love this jacket with jeans, over dresses or paired with skirts. It’s so beautiful in person that I now own three colors. I own the size 2.

13. Loafers

A timeless staple perfect for clocking a lot of miles walking around the streets of Paris. If my color palette includes camel I often bring this pair.

14. Sweater Tee

A great building block for a variety of looks. I sized up in this style to a L.

15. Inez Paz Boots

Another favorite pair of Fall booties. I’ve walked 20K steps in this pair. They are also the perfect neutral that pairs well with nearly everything I usually pack for Paris.

16. Silk Tank

This tank falls beautifully at the neckline to make it a bit more evening ready. I love pairing it under a black blazer or a leather jacket.

17.  Sunglasses

Of course no packing list is complete without bringing along a few pair of my favorite sunglasses. This pair has been a go to in black and tortoise for years.

18. Straight Leg Jeans

I love this pair. Timeless and versatile to style. They are a great lived-in kinda denim and super good quality. I wear a size 28.

I’ll also be bringing a similar pair but in a gray wash which I love for Fall and Winter styling.

And, given the nature of my trips, I have even more I’ll be packing.

A bit more making it into my suitcase…

 

Crewneck T-Shirt

Ideal as a base layer for Fall under blazers, jackets and cardigans I always bring crewneck t-shirts in a couple of colors. The MM.LaFleur Leslie tee is my favorite – I own it in multiple colors and always bring the ivory and black on trips to Paris. 

Crewneck Sweater

And of course my Fall suitcase for France would never be complete without a good black crewneck sweater. I own the size M.

Satin Pants

A fun, on trend and easy, not to mention oh-so-comfortable trouser option for nights out in Paris.

Sweater Jacket

I love a lady jacket in Paris and this one is beautiful and comes in loads of colors. I got the pretty green which felt perfect for Paris in Fall. Size M.

Classic Blazer

A Paris staple for me. This blazer is easy to dress up or dress down and packs well. I am also bringing this beautiful charcoal one. Size 6 in both.

Heeled Slingbacks

Never without this pair of timeless Chanel heeled slingbacks. Great for clocking miles with evening looks.

Striped Tee

No trip to Paris is complete without a striped tee. I reach for long sleeve ones when I go in the Fall. I own this one in a M.

Tights

For chillier days I’ll be bringing my go-to tights.

    Meghan, have a wonderful trip to Paris! I love the feel of Eberjey pajamas, but get so annoyed that they are hand wash and line dry only – and with the humidity on the East Coast for the past several months, nothing dries in less than five days! And then it starts to smell. Does that ever annoy you?

      Truthfully I don’t follow those rules so they aren’t as pretty as they used to be but I understand what you’re saying! I can’t wait for this crazy humidity to be behind us!
