What I Wore In Paris In July
Packing for Paris in July is all about striking the perfect balance between timeless style and practicality. Here’s everything I packed and wore in July in the City of Light. I brought one large suitcase and one small carry-on, carefully selecting versatile pieces that could be mixed and matched into 14 different summer outfits.
Each look worked seamlessly for the many facets of Paris life—long days walking the cobblestone streets, afternoons visiting museums, shopping at my favorite Parisian boutiques, day trips beyond the city, and elegant evenings out for dinner.
July in Paris brought it all—cool, breezy mornings perfect for light layers, and hot summer afternoons calling for breathable fabrics and easy silhouettes. Every item I packed earned its place in my suitcase, chosen not only for comfort but also for that effortless Parisian style I love.
In this post, I’ll share exactly what I wore, how I styled each outfit, and how you can recreate these looks for your own trip. Many of these pieces are linked, so you can easily shop them and build a summer travel wardrobe you’ll reach for again and again.
