P'Niche is packing for a near three week trip to Paris this September - hooray!
Packing is such a popular topic, and we've enjoyed sharing ideas for all seasons of "capsule wardrobes," winter, spring, fall, and summer. I have also shared my own personal capsule wardrobes for March and June.
Some of you have privately contacted me (bonjour!) fearing you might have to "buy all new items" to achieve these capsule wardrobe looks - not at all!
P'Niche is going to get personal and share my exact packing list for this September 2023 Paris trip. Every single piece is already in my personal wardrobe and "well loved"... and can (oh-so-snuggly) fit into a carry-on bag. I am brining my fave trench coat for the unpredictable Paris transition weather.
Let me be clear - your scarves are going to work very hard for you - very little packing space, but lots of style impact and variety.
In no particular order (aside from option #1, which I will wear on the airplane to keep warm), this is a compilation of over 50 mix-n-match outfit options for two full weeks in Paris' September transition weather and fun...
On y va - Let's Go!
Overall Packing List
And now (drumroll, please) the Look Book Options in "photo dump" format...
Oui - it's really just that simple!
You don't already own what you see here? No worries! You can easily substitute your basic long sleeve tee for the Breton shirt, any flat footwear for the loafers, etc. I definitely do recommend a petite investment in a handy (and oh-so-chic) trench coat, but honestly, most transition outerwear will suffice. Play around with what you already have and have FUN. Save your money to shop in Paris!
OK, P'Nicher, what are you including in your own September in Paris capsule wardrobe? Let us know in the comments section below and à bientôt!
Thanks Chrissy, not going to Paris but going to Budapest, Vienna and Prague in a few weeks. It is summer so you have given me beaucoup d'idées!
This is fabulous. Could you do one for winter, please?
