I'm a Fashion Editor Who Loves Paris—Here's Every Chic Nordstrom Item I'm Buying For My Next Trip

Of every stamp in my passport, I have the most for France. Considering all of the destinations I travel to, I frequent Paris most often—whether it’s a work trip for fashion month or a personal trip to spend time in the city. That being said, I’m always thinking about my next trip to Paris and the pieces I’ll be packing in my suitcase. After each visit, I refine my wardrobe more and have some go-to staples I always bring along. I always come home feeling inspired by the looks I’m seeing on the streets of Paris, so I inevitably add some new pieces to my edit.

Ahead, I’m sharing my Paris packing list, which taps into the best items to bring for a late summer or early fall trip. See the exact pieces I’m recommending including staples such as straight-leg jeans, midi dresses, tote bags, leather belts, and kitten heels.
