What to Pack: Paris in the Spring

Get ready for an exciting adventure this spring in Europe! Packing can be a fun challenge with the changing weather. Check out my stylish outfits that will have you feeling confident and ready for anything!

I visited Paris for 4 days this April. Paris was my first of three destinations for a total of 10 days in Europe. While I didn’t re-wear any pieces during these 4 days, I did use them for outfits during the next 6 days of my trip. They were a great base to mix-and-match. 

Read on to see the 4 outfits I wore in Paris and a full packing list so you know What to Pack for Paris in the Spring!

Airplane Travel Outfit: T-shirt with sweatpants and sweatshirt. Carried a long warm coat. 

I never know if the plane is going to be cold or hot so I like to wear layers. It turned out, the plane was cold so I used my long warm coat as an extra blanket. The train from the airport to the city was HOT. I was thankful I had layers and could just wear the t-shirt I had under my sweatshirt and heavy coat. Also, sweats are just comfy for the hours of sitting in a transatlantic flight.

Day 1: Arrival and sightseeing - Black tank top with black wide leg trousers and tan cross body bag. 

Upon checking into the hotel, I changed from my comfy sweats into my comfy trousers to feel (slightly more) refreshed for a day of sightseeing. This day was the warmest so I just wore a tan top with my trousers for a cool and casual look. It looks like Target it out of the exact pair I wore, but these trousers are a good alternative. I have them too!

Day 2: Museums - Black square neck tank and jean jacket with beige jeans.

A day of looking at art! What a dream. This was another warm day with a cool morning. I paired a cute ruffled tank with a jean jacket and beige jeans. The museums do run on the warm-side if its a warm day so I was glad I went with a summer friendly outfit. 

The beige jeans I wore from last summer are sold out but these are a similar style white. Now I want the black and light wash ones too! The jacket I wore has been a staple in my wardrobe for close to 10 years. Old Navy always has cute jean jackets available. Here is one with a classic silhouette that you can wear for years to come.

Day 3: Day trip to the Palace of Versailles - Tan t-shirt with beige wide leg trousers.

A day at the Palace of Versailles is a day filled with opulence, and walking. This palace and the accompanying grounds are expansive. This outfit was perfect to feel comfortable while trekking up stairs and around gardens. It looks like Target is out of the pants I wore but these linen pants are a cute alternative.

Day 4: Sightseeing around the city - Sweater with long warm coat and black jeans. 

My last day in Paris was spent wandering around and soaking in all the beauty of Paris. This day was on the cooler side so I broke out my long coat and stayed warm while visiting centuries-old buildings! 

I thrifted the sweater I wore. Here is a similar version at Everlane. The jacket I wore was from Old Navy for $40, and they sold out FAST! Everlane has one with a similar look that I am sure would last for many winter seasons. I also love this brown coat from H&M. It looks much more expensive than it actually is!

One of my favorite pieces of jewelry is a Kendra Scott necklace that was gifted to me by a friend when I graduated college. A piece that I still love to wear. This necklace from Kendra Scott is a great simple style to add a little sparkle when you are traveling.
