In this post, I’m sharing exactly what I wore in France—from easy daytime layers to elevated evening looks. You’ll also see how I styled each piece, plus the essentials that made getting dressed on the trip so simple. If you’re planning a future getaway, these looks offer an easy blueprint for packing smart and feeling confident abroad.
What I Packed for France
When I planned my trip to France, I wanted a travel wardrobe that felt effortless, versatile, and true to my style. We flew into Paris and spent a few hours exploring the city before taking a train to Nice. I needed pieces that worked for different settings and temperatures. A mini capsule made everything easy. I pulled several staples from my closet and added a few Nuuly rentals to round things out. The rentals gave me extra variety without overpacking, and they helped me mix in fresh basics for the trip.
I focused on comfortable layers, polished knits, and denim that worked day or night. A striped sweater, a relaxed blazer, easy denim, and a couple of fun statement tops created the foundation for most of my outfits. Everything mixed and matched, which made getting dressed each day feel simple and stylish. This capsule kept my suitcase light and my outfits consistent — exactly what I wanted for a week in France.
My Travel Essentials and Cozy Travel Day Look
I always start any international trip with comfort, organization, and versatility in mind. For this France trip, I packed everything into my medium-size BEIS suitcase. And I carried my mini weekender bag on the plane. A few smart essentials made the journey feel easy—from tech adapters and portable chargers to packing cubes that kept my suitcase neat the entire week. For travel day, I reached for a cozy matching set that made the long flight feel relaxed but still polished. Pieces like this also work well once you arrive, which always helps my travel wardrobe stretch a little further.

At night, I mixed in polished pieces—like structured jackets, pretty tops, and sleek shoes—to create simple but elevated dinner outfits. Everything worked together, which kept getting dressed stress-free and stylish the entire week.
