What to pack for Paris Fashion Week
Picks for Paris, plus the best suitcase to pack them in.
IT'S GOT TO BE SAMSONITE. CASE CLOSED
Every time the shows come round, I'm on the hunt for the perfect suitcase. It's ridiculous how many of them are just unsuitable: too heavy, too flimsy. This time I think I've found true love with Samsonite's Cosmolite (£349, for the medium). It weighs 3.6kg empty, has a hard exterior and is positively four-wheel drive, or something like that.
PRIMED FOR PARIS: FIVE FOR THE ROAD
1 Navy trousers: Nifty gilt buttons and hem detailing take these (picture below) from day to night. No wonder there's been a bit of a rush on them as fashion month unfolds; they're the kind of "panic" purchase you can wear endlessly. Trousers, £275, Joseph; joseph.co.uk
2 A bright clutch: A low-risk way to wear a flash of colour (picture top). High street brand Whistles offers a customisation service through which you can get your intitials embossed on the front. Bag, £95, Whistles; whistles.co.uk
3 Tractor-soled boots: These (picture top) work with dresses or trousers and will take you from Prada to the Prado if you're on an endless march from shops to museums. Boots, £120, Dr Martens; drmartens.co.uk
4 A chic cardigan: Cosy warmth with a dose of spring colour (picture top). Cardigan, £78, J Crew; jcrew.com
5 A colour-blocked top: A top that works just as well at breakfast as it does at dinner (picture below). Top, £430, Roksanda Ilincic; stylebop.com
