Everything to Pack For a Summer Trip to Paris, According to an Editor

Kizik Milan Monument Hands-Free Sneaker ($149)

Paris is designed to explore by foot, so chic, comfortable sneakers are a must. I wore this sleek, leather pair with casual daytime outfits, dressier evening looks, and everything in between. The best part? Kizik's slip-on sneakers are completely hands-free, so I never had to worry about bending down and tying my shoes.

Silk Laundry Black 90's Midi Dress ($184, originally $275)

This silk dress from Silk Laundry is easily my favorite clothing item I packed for this trip. Effortless, versatile, and flattering, this slip worked with sneakers during the day and chic heels and jewelry at night. It made for multiple outfit combinations and took up minimal room in my suitcase — a winner in my book.

Calpak Luka Duffel ($128)

For an extended weekend trip, this Calpak duffel is the perfect companion to a carry-on suitcase. It has multiple compartments — including one for shoes — and an essential trolley sleeve to firmly sit on your luggage. When it comes to travel gear, I always prefer bright colors that stand out in a crowd.

Love Bonito Mili Shawl Collared Blazer ($69)

While summer days in Paris are mostly hot and sunny, there are pockets of cool breezes at night. I recommend packing a relaxed, easy blazer like this one from Love Bonito to throw over any casual outfit. For a summer-appropriate look, I prefer a light pop of color and lightweight fabric.

Slip Pure Silk Zodiac Sleep Mask ($60)

I couldn't have slept through my red-eye flight from NYC to Paris without a soft sleep mask — and my trusty neck pillow. This 100 percent pure silk version kept my skin protected and made a long flight in economy feel so much more luxurious.

Vacation Super Spritz Face Mist ($24)

Unexpected rain showers aside, the sun can get strong in Paris. Face sunscreen with a high SPF that's also easy to reapply is a nonnegotiable. This SPF 50 sunscreen mist from Vacation is water-resistant, invisible, and dries down quickly, which makes it ideal for spritzing over your makeup throughout the day.

Lake DreamModal Daydream Shorts Set in Geranium Regalia Stripe ($88)

After a long day of touring, there's nothing I look forward to more than a plushy hotel robe. But, I also love feeling at home in a pair of cozy pajamas. This set from Lake Pajamas is made from the brand's DreamModal knit, which may be the softest, stretchiest fabric I've ever slept in. It's also ideal for hot sleepers.

Saie The Big Brush ($26)

I struggle with condensing my makeup collection for travel, so multifunctional tools are always helpful. Instead of bringing separate brushes for blush, bronzer, and foundation, I stuck with just this super soft yet dense brush from Saie to blend both my cream and liquid products seamlessly into my skin.

Madewell Medium Perfect Leather Belt ($48)

I've only recently started wearing belts again, and realized how much a classic strip of leather can transform a look. I wore this timeless belt from Madewell with dresses, baggy jeans, and leather shorts throughout my Paris trip, instantly elevating and adding shape to simple outfits.

Sulwhasoo First Care Trial Set ($58)

As someone who takes skin care very seriously, I try to maintain my routine as best as I can even while traveling. So instead of throwing some random samples into my toiletries, I like to have travel-size beauty products of my mainstays on hand for carry-on only trips. This sampler from Sulwhasoo includes all of my favorites, including the brand's popular First Care Activating Serum VI.
