Paris makes for such a wonderful Autumn getaway – I spent a couple of nights there last month and want to share my outfits with you, including some tips on how to get the look yourself! Read on!
In the city of light, everything looks more beautiful, so it’s always very tempting to dress up for your surroundings. But finding the right balance between Parisian chic and comfortable isn’t always easy. Check out what I wore…
Stripes & a Novelty Clutch
I took things rather literally with my first outfit, matching a striped top with a black jumpsuit and finishing off the look with standout accessories. The red clutch matched my lips and the novelty flats were ideal for a day of exploring the city.
This look would work with a trench coat thrown over the top to keep the chill at bay. Why not try this striped clutch bag to give a nod to this novelty look? Or to keep it similar, this red bow cross-body does a great job!
Keep it comfy in a pair of cool flats like these bow-topped ballerinas or these pointed ankle strap flats – you’ll be able to stomp around the city all day without complaint!
Casual Cool
Black is the Parisian’s colour of choice, but I made sure to accent my all-black get-up with a pop of bright blue in my bag. Worn with a pair of brogues, this outfit was also comfortable enough to stroll the city and gorge on macarons and pastries – it has to be done!
Team a leather skirt with a cosy knit and pair of brogues for serious style points. Add a pop of colour with a coloured bag like this blue satchel and you’re good to go.
Dress it up
I kept the monochrome vibe going for my evening look, pairing a fluffy jumper with a statement collar, a flirty skater skirt and skyscraper heels. I’ll pick out a chunky heel over a stiletto any day, especially if you know you’re going to be on your feet.
Pair your going-out look with this beautiful pair of embellished toe court shoes – the chunky heel will make sure you’re able to dance all night long. This boxy clutch will finish off the look just nicely!
I hope that’s given you plenty of inspiration for a weekend getaway to the city of love!
