Euro Girl Fall, Packed for the Weekend

Euro Girl Fall, Packed for the Weekend

The European weekend wardrobe is all about pieces that go anywhere. A trench, a good knit, wide trousers and a flat shoe. This edit gathers the clothes for a long weekend in a cool city.

What the Europeans pack

The continental approach to dressing is built on repetition. A few good pieces that work together, in a palette that never clashes, and shoes that handle cobblestones.

More tops

Neutral colors do most of the work, with a pop of red or stripe for variety. Tops do the quiet work in an edit like this, changing an outfit more than they seem to.

Trousers and shorts

The trench coat is the unofficial uniform of the whole continent. The bottom half decides the proportion, so these are worth choosing carefully.

Dresses

Wide trousers and flat shoes make walking all day easy. Dresses are the fastest way into the trend, since one piece is the whole outfit.

Skirts

A scarf or a light knit adds warmth without bulk. Skirts are the easiest way to change the mood of a plain top.

Mini dresses

Neutral colors do most of the work, with a pop of red or stripe for variety. Here the dresses come in every length and cut, so the look is easy to match to an occasion.

Shoes

The trench coat is the unofficial uniform of the whole continent. Shoes decide whether the outfit reads dressy or casual.

Bags

Wide trousers and flat shoes make walking all day easy. A bag is the accent, and it is where the outfit gets a bit of personality.

Accessories

A scarf or a light knit adds warmth without bulk. Accessories are the quickest, lightest way to join the trend.

Maxi dresses

Neutral colors do most of the work, with a pop of red or stripe for variety. For anyone who dresses in one decision, this is the group to start with.

Jewelry

The trench coat is the unofficial uniform of the whole continent. Jewelry is the small detail that makes an outfit feel considered.

Sets

Wide trousers and flat shoes make walking all day easy. Sets save time, since the work of matching has been done already.

Midi dresses

A scarf or a light knit adds warmth without bulk. Dresses are the fastest way into the trend, since one piece is the whole outfit.

Swim

Neutral colors do most of the work, with a pop of red or stripe for variety. A swim piece is the base of a beach day.

Packing like you live there

Choose a palette of three colors and pack only what mixes. Everything else is a distraction.
