What To Pack For Paris In February
What To Pack For Paris In February
If you’re looking to head to Paris in February, here’s a helpful packing list to inspire what to take to the city of light during the winter month. February is an ideal time to visit because there’s less crowds and you can find lower hotel rates.
Although spring is right around the corner, you still need to be prepared for cold days and nights and pack appropriately. Also, shoes will be vital as you log all those miles in the city. Even though it’s still cold out, Paris is a complete walking city.

Weather In Paris In February
The weather during February in Paris tends to still be chilly but warmer days are ahead as you get to the end of the month. Average temperatures range from the low 30s to the high 40s.
With the weather being cold and cloudy, you will want to make sure you pack appropriately and with the right accessories, including an umbrella and waterproof boots.
Some pieces to keep in mind will be layering tees or camis. You will want to bring a warm wool coat to keep you warm and dry. Of course, you can always stop into a local café for a warm glass of red wine to warm you up.
Shoes To Wear And Pack In February In Paris
Paris always involves a lot of walking, no matter what season, but you will want to pack a pair of waterproof boots for the cold and rain. You can also pack a pair of ankle or knee high boots as well for some versatility.
You can see my entire post dedicated to the best walking shoes for Paris here and the ones I find the most comfortable during my trips to Paris.
Also, Paris is not the place to break in new shoes so make sure you don’t bring a brand new pair to walk the city.
Pack And Wear Neutral Outfit Combinations For Paris
Whenever I travel to Paris, I prefer to look more like a local vs. a tourist so I try and stay very neutral when it comes to my outfits. I make sure to pack versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched with each other.
Make sure to pack pieces that you can use for layers. Since the weather will be cold and damp, it’s best to have layers you can wear under sweaters, a trench coat, or a blazer.
Packing basics will go a long way and give you more outfits. A good list to start with would be a pair of blue or black denim. A pair of brown or black trousers and a long black skirt or dress.
You will see a lot of Parisian women in mostly jeans and trousers. Depending on the weather some will have on dresses or skirts with a jacket. No athleisurewear so leave your yoga pants at home, please.
Another thing to think about is if any of your pieces need to be tailored before your trip. I always make sure to take anything to the tailor a few weeks before the trip to ensure they are ready in time.
Travel Accessories To Pack For Paris
When it comes to travel gear, I’ve learned over the years what works the best and items you may not think about but have helped me. When it comes to traveling on a plane this is what I always have with me. A great carry-on bag for the plane which is comfortable enough to carry everything I need. I have this carry-on bag, but this Lo and Sons is also an affordable option.
Inside the bag, I pack my eye mask, water bottle, and slippers ( I like to put these on when I am on the plane). Of course, my headphones are always with me as well as my Mer Sea wrap that goes everywhere.
Here are a few beauty tips for when I travel to Paris. I try to stay away from more than one alcoholic drink on the plane due to hydration. I also put this hydrating face mask on when I board to keep my face hydrated and use this eye cream or these eye pads when we land to help with puffiness.
For my suitcase, I use these Amazon suitcases and they have been great. I also use these packing cubes to help pack, and these laundry bags. This luggage scale always goes with me so I know how heavy my bags are, and this travel steamer is perfect and works very well.
Other important items not to forget would be adapters, phone and camera chargers, and travel wallet if you want ( I use one and love it because I carry paperwork in there as well).
