Since I was a little girl, I dreamed of traveling the world. Growing up in Slovakia, I was lucky to explore different countries, but my travel bucket list was always full of dream destinations. After visiting England and Canada, one place remained at the very top—Paris.
For many travelers, a trip to Paris is a lifelong dream. Known as the fashion capital of the world, Paris is not only famous for its landmarks but also for its effortlessly chic style. Even when I worked as a tourist guide, I never had the chance to visit Paris—until now.
We’ve finally booked our Eurostar train to Paris, and I couldn’t be more excited. This upcoming Paris city break feels extra special, and I’ve already started planning everything—from sightseeing to my outfits.
If you’re wondering what to wear in Paris, looking for Paris outfit ideas, or planning your own Paris travel itinerary, this post will give you inspiration. I’ll be sharing my Paris travel outfits, packing tips, and style ideas for a few stylish days in the City of Light.

Travel Light For A Few Days In Paris
As I am getting older and since I created a capsule wardrobe packing became the easy part of the trip. I was inspired by the 10×10 challenge, so I am packing for 4 days with the 5 items plus a coat for rain and an air-conditioned train.
What I Packed
Jeans – I love them and wear them all the time. So why not to wear them in Paris? Parisians are well known for their stylish take on jeans anyway. I will take my black pair as they are my most comfortable jeans, and I also feel the best in them.
White t-shirt – at the moment I don’t wear any other colour t-shirt except for white. I will take Organic Basics as this a cotton t-shirt works magic in hot days. It works hard for you, you can wear it for more days in a row and it doesn’t stink.
Silk Cami Top – lightweight and chic. Can be dressed down or dress up. If the rain decides to cross our way I will wear it with the trenchcoat.
Dress – all I need for a hot day. I love the simplicity of this dress, looks good without a belt too. And what I also found really useful that it has buttons all the way up, when I lean towards the kids there is not much to see ;).
Skirt – if it happens to be more sunny days I have another outfit possibility. Or to wear it with the tights for colder days.
Trenchcoat – pumps up even the simplest outfit and it boosts my confidence. Strange, but it works the magic.
Shoes – I will take a maximum of 2 pairs. For hot day slides and for everything else mules will do. I was considering the white trainers as we plan to walk a lot, but if I do take them, mules will stay home. Both shoes are the right choice for outfit possibilities.
I was thinking about little swaps like instead of black jeans to go for blue Levis. Both are straight legs one but as I mentioned above the comfort is everything. Or instead of black cami to go for white, but with 2 small kids could be useless. I have to consider everything when I plan my outfits.
