Just because it is hot doesn’t mean that Parisians do sloppy: Find a pair of leather flat sandals that can take you from day to night. You can also bring a pair of lightweight canvas fashion sneakers (think Converse or Keds) that will be comfortable for long days of exploring.
A scarf (with many uses, including covering your shoulders when visiting a church), a hat and sunglasses, and sunscreen should also be on your summer packing list for Paris.
It is a good idea to bring a refillable water bottle. Paris is also home to over 700 public water fountains (hello free water!)
Just because it’s hot doesn’t mean that Parisians are letting go of their legendary sense of style. Remember that they dress conservatively so in order not to stand out, carefully pick out the outfit pieces you want to bring with.
A lightweight rain jacket and small purse umbrella are musts. Mornings can also be chilly so a cardigan is a great idea.
