The Best Suitcases For Travelling In Style This Year

Is the Away as good as it looks? We have the lowdown.

From well-established brands such as Samsonite and Victorinox to chic relative newcomer Away, our expert has rigorously tested a range of market-leading luggage to find the best (and most stylish) suitcases – both big and small – to jet off with this summer.

You’ll find our expert’s full verdicts below, but at a glance, these are our favourite holiday companions:

Best Large Hard Suitcase

Horizn studios h7 check-in luggage (90l).

Best Cabin Bag

Antler clifton cabin.

Best Suitcase For Design Features

Away the large.

Best Large Soft Suitcase

The north face rolling thunder luggage 30".

Best expandable cabin bag

Away the carry-on flex.

Editor's Pick

Carl friedrik the check-in large.

Biggest Capacity Suitcase

Antler clifton large.

Best Smart Luggage

Horizn h5 smart cabin.

Biggest Capacity Soft Suitcase

Eastpak double tranverz large suitcase.

Best Lightweight Hard Suitcase

American tourister airconic spinner suitcase, what type of suitcase is best.

Both style and practicality are important when it comes to buying a suitcase; consider its look, but also check that it will hold everything you want to take on your trip. For maximum packing space, try an expandable design.

Weight is also important to consider – if it’s too heavy, it will use up precious weight allowance, and you’ll have to leave those just-in-case jumpers or must-have sliders at home.

While you may treat your luggage like the valuable cargo it is, the same can’t be guaranteed at the airport, so a durable design is key. The same is true of wheels; they need to be able to cross bumpy terrain with ease.

Most suitcases come with padlocks but look for those that are approved by the Transport Security Administration, especially if you’re flying to the US. TSA-approved padlocks have a universal master key that the TSA has a copy of, meaning they can search your belongings without damaging your suitcase.

Lastly, you’ll need to choose between a hard shell and soft shell design. Hard-sided cases tend to be made from polypropylene, polycarbonate, ABS plastic or aluminium, meaning they’re sturdy and your belongings should be well protected. Most are lightweight now, but they usually have fewer pockets than soft shells.

In contrast, soft-sided suitcases are often made with polyester, nylon or a mix of the two. They are more likely to be expandable and have both internal and external pockets for tidy packing. They tend to be less water-resistant, but most have a waterproof lining, meaning light rain is nothing to worry about. Ultimately, it’s a matter of personal preference.

How We Test Suitcases

Our expert weighed each suitcase when empty before using it as you would in real life. They packed enough for a two-week holiday to assess its capacity and internal design.

Then, they took the full suitcase and judged how well it moved over a range of surfaces, from tarmac and concrete to carpet and cobbles. They tested the durability of its wheels, casing and corners by dropping it over 50 times. Lastly, they tested its water resistance by staging a downpour in the shower.

You'll find a couple of ELLE editor's favourites below, too.

Here’s the luggage we’ll be checking in this summer.

Acing our drop test, this is a sturdy case that we’d be happy to show off. Even its wheels were durable; they may make noise if you’re dragging them over Lisbon’s cobbled streets, but they moved smoothly across most surfaces. Its zips proved reliable, too; a little dampness seeped through, but our clothes stayed dry.

The premium design also has plenty of thoughtful details, including a water-resistant toiletries bag and a laundry bag. However full your case is, your luggage will also be secure thanks to adjustable straps that keep everything in place.

It even has an accompanying dust bag so you can store it safely and keep it looking pristine. And there’s a choice of nine chic colours — pale rose, glossy lemon and night blue are top of our wish lists.

Key Specifications

We love a co-ordinated set, and happily this Antler cabin bag is just as premium a buy as its larger counterpart reviewed below, making it ideal for longer breaks where just one case simply won’t do.

It moved smoothly, proved durable and had a waterproof shell – just watch the zip in heavy downpours, as it’s not waterproof. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, and you can choose from Antler’s array of timeless colours.

Thanks to Away's array of on-trend colourways, you can coordinate (or clash) your outfit with your luggage. It’s roomy inside and its attention to detail stands out; think pockets, a water-resistant laundry bag and a melamine sponge to keep its exterior in perfect condition. The leather identity tag is an elegant touch and the trolley handle feels pleasingly soft.

On test, the fiddly zips let some moisture in, but our belongings stayed dry. The wheels announce your arrival on cobbles and are sluggish on carpet, but they’re otherwise agile. Only their protective caps were damaged during our drop test, with no impact on performance, making this large suitcase a worthy investment. We’ll have ours in neon pink , please.

The North Face Rolling Thunder Luggage 30"

This case should keep adventure-seekers' belongings safe, whatever the holiday. The duffel design proved outstandingly sturdy in our durability tests, barely suffering a scratch. It's spacious inside, too, with a selection of compartments for organised packing, including one for shoes – always useful. Note the zips were a bit stiff and you’ll need to source your own padlock.

The handles were comfortable even when it was fully packed, and the two wheels moved well, but our tester had to muscle them round corners and they made a noise on cobbles. Its water-repellent fabric should withstand light rain, but don’t use it in monsoon season, as some moisture leaked through the top zip. It’s easier to store than a traditional suitcase, though, and it should last you many years.

Away’s standard cabin bag really impressed, but for flexibility on the go, this expandable design is ideal, leaving room for you to add more if you can’t resist a vintage market find or sentimental souvenir.

When expanded, you would need to check it into the hold on most airlines, but it ticked all our tester's boxes when it came to quality, putting in a star turn in our durability and waterproofing tests. It’s not the lightest case they tried, though, and sudden changes in direction did cause some wobbling.

That said, Away’s attention to detail, including the accompanying washbag, luggage tag and even cleaning sponge, makes it hard to overlook.

If you value durability and security, but also style, this is the suitcase for you. Created by a London-based Swedish duo, the brand combines traditional elegance with effortless functionality. 'The Check-in' is crafted out of a polycarbonate that's unbelievably lightweight (saving you precious kilograms for extra pairs of shoes), and finished with Italian leather details. It's a nod to historic travel trunks, but uses tech-forward materials, including 'silent Japanese spinner wheels.'

For those keen to capitalise on the case's fashion credentials, the leather trim can be customised with a personal monogram. And for the traveller with three-too-many pairs of shoes, there's even a size up option to consider too.

If that's successfully hooked you, the brand also offers a range of home office accessories, as well as travel wallets, passport holders and watch straps.

This spacious, expandable suitcase is designed for serial over-packers, with its generous compartments featuring plenty of pockets for organised types. The stiff zips let in some moisture at the top of the case, but this didn’t spread to our clothes.

The trolley handle felt comfortable to pull, even when the suitcase was full, but the side handle squashed our expert’s hand. Its wheels stood out – they were bigger than others on test and navigated every surface quietly and with ease. They looked as good as new after our drop tests, too.

In fact, this stylish suitcase proved sturdy all round; it predictably suffered some scuffs and dents after 50 drops, but still functioned impeccably. Its range of beautiful colours includes sage, taupe and blush.

After falling in love with Horizn’s H7 hold suitcase, we had to see if its cabin bag was just as good, and we weren’t disappointed. Not only is it chic and sturdy, but it also comes with a removable charging pack, so you don't need to worry about your phone or headphones running out of charge en route .

Inside, it has ample pockets and partitions to suit even the neatest of packers. Its wheels conquered everything from cobbles to carpet with ease, too. But a word of warning from our tester: it may be slightly too big for some airlines, so check it suits your preferred carriers before you buy.

If you’re the sort of packer who needs a pair of shoes for every eventuality, then you’ll appreciate this soft shell case's shoe compartment. It's also got plenty of room and pockets to accommodate a generous capsule wardrobe, and our tester liked its dedicated documents pocket.

It’s thoughtfully designed so you can lock the external pockets, and its zips kept all water out. Some padding on the side handles would have been appreciated, and the wheels could be sturdier – one had broken off by the end of our (admittedly hardcore) drop tests – but they navigated every surface quietly and with agility. The body of the case proved robust, showing minimal signs of damage, and it flattens well if storage is tight at home. It comes with a 30-year warranty.

Hard shell suitcases can be heavy, but grab those extra beauty products, as this spinner is ultra-lightweight. It’s spacious inside, with internal pockets that will keep everything neat and safe. It moves fluidly on all surfaces and smoothly swaps between two and four wheels.

The zip got damp during the waterproofing test, but our clothes remained dry. One corner dented from all our dropping, but given it only weighs 3.2kg, this wouldn’t put us off, especially as its wheels merely scuffed slightly. Available in navy or black, it will look timeless for holidays to come.

Samsonite Magnum Eco Spinner 75cm

Conscious about the environmental impact of your travel? Consider this eco suitcase. It's made in Europe from recycled plastic, so while it may not lower the carbon footprint of your holiday, its own is smaller than most.

The case is roomy with secure dividers, but isn’t lined inside, losing it some luxe points. It moves quietly and effortlessly, whether on carpet or cobbles, but our tester would have welcomed more comfortable handles. It proved entirely watertight but suffered a few dents during drop testing; these easily pushed out but doing this too often can cause stress marks. Overall, it’s a reliable all-rounder. Choose from three understated colourways.

VICTORINOX Lexicon hardshell suitcase 75cm

If waving your suitcase off at check-in makes you anxious, this suitcase should give you peace of mind. As well as a TSA-approved lock, it has puncture-resistant zips and a bag tracking feature. It proved impressively durable too, with little more than the odd scuff mark left after drop testing.

It's expandable, and with five pockets inside, including a garment section and a divider, there’s more than enough room for a two-week getaway. Once full, it required some effort to turn corners, but otherwise moved smoothly. It was waterproof as promised, with only the top zip absorbing some water, none of which seeped inside.

Samsonite Base Boost Spinner Large Expandable Suitcase

This soft shell Samsonite is the lightest suitcase on our list. It’s expandable, so if you’re not taking anything fragile and like to pack enough beach reads to stock a library, it's a must buy. Its internal divider and elasticated packing straps will also help you pack neatly.

It was a smooth mover, gliding across all terrains without clacking, and stayed in good shape after being thrown about by our expert. In fact, only its waterproofing let it down; on test, moisture soaked through the front pocket, dampening the insides slightly. Pack those books at the bottom if the forecast is looking dubious, and you’ll be good to go.

Tripp Escape Large 4 Wheel Suitcase

If lightweight luggage appeals but you need to protect your Dyson Airwrap, look to this Tripp case. It’s purse-friendly and boasts enough space to fit the longest of packing lists, although it lacks internal pockets.

On test, its comfortable trolley handle and quiet, durable wheels shone. Some corners dented after extensive dropping, but they pushed out easily and the main panels emerged unscathed. During our water-resistance test, a small puddle gathered at the top and some moisture made its way through the zip. But for sunny destinations, this shouldn’t pose a problem.

American Tourister Bon Air Spinner

This lightweight American Tourister comes in a range of stand-out colours that will make it easy to spot if you decide to check your bag last-minute. Testers were impressed with its internal pockets and divider, declaring it roomy enough to pack for a weekend city break, provided you’re disciplined when planning your holiday wardrobe, that is.

As its lower price tag suggests, it’s not the most luxe of suitcases, but despite this, it was something of an all-rounder on test. Our experts found it moved smoothly across most surfaces and it fared well in our drop tests, too.

Travelpro® Europe Maxlite® Air Large Expandable Hardside Spinner

If you want credentials, this company was founded by pilot Bob Plath, who invented one of the first upright wheeled cases. Since then, the brand's gone from strength to strength, inventing lighter, handier, sturdier suitcases – perfect for all sorts of trips.

The Maxlite's sell is that it's flexible and super lightweight, while being really strong. That means you can put your weight on it without any drama and it can withstand a degree of being thrown around by handlers at the airport, without so much as a dent. Plus, it's expandable. It's a true winner.

Travel + Leisure / David Hattan

Paris conjures many images. There’s the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre Dame to name a few of its iconic landmarks. The city sparkles with world-class museums, restaurants, hotels, and elegant Belle Epoque architecture. Romantics around the world have long been enamored by its charm, and it’s inspired some of the most culturally significant artists in history. 

It’s also the reigning capital of fashion, producing revered designers, including Coco Chanel, who famously said that “beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” That spirit of authenticity is evident on the streets, in the effortless je ne sais quoi that Parisians possess. You won’t find many women running around in neon stilettos at 9 a.m. carrying baguettes and peonies, Emily in Paris -style. Style in the French capital is more pared down and uniform, which is something to keep in mind when packing for a trip.

“To avoid looking like a tourist in Paris, the key is to dress like the French do in a classic, chic, and timeless style,” says Simudzai Kufandada, Chief Concierge for the legendary Ritz Paris. Think of a well-tailored capsule wardrobe in a neutral color palette – nothing too loud or overdone. But whatever you do, leave the athleisure behind – unlike other cities, it would look out of place here. “We still dress to go out,” explains Laure Pertusier, General Manager of the Saint James Club – a magnet for sophisticated local denizens.

Evening looks are necessary – the opera! The ballet! 118 Michelin-star restaurants to choose from! And, of course, you’ll need versatile outfits for exploring the city comfortably (think more stretch denim, less lycra). Another thing to note is that some hotel rooms and AirBnBs can be compact (not quite to Tokyo standards, but still on the smaller side), so it’s best to keep your suitcase size to a minimum. As for the etiquette? Cheval Blanc’s Assistant Front of House Director, Margaux Médeau, advises to “smile, walk fast, have fun, be chic, and dare . You’ll be Parisian.”

Ahead, see our curated recommendations on what to pack for your trip to The City of Light.

One of the biggest dressing myths is perhaps the most obvious: “A true Parisian woman very rarely wears a beret,” explains Bastien Lalanne, Chief Concierge at the Bulgari Hotel (and, as you might imagine, witness to crowds of well-heeled locals). 

French style has an insouciant sophistication – classic and polished with an emphasis on tailoring. Despite being the epicenter of haute couture, nothing is too colorful or exaggerated. “Parisian fashion and culture exudes an effortlessly chic, laid back attitude,” says Moda Operandi’s Senior Ready-to-Wear Buyer, Tiernan Cowling. 

Laid back, yes, but as noted, athleisure is off limits (or code for “American tourist”). “We wear fewer sports outfits and caps on the street when we go out than in other cities,” explains Laure Pertusier. “We favor natural elegance and don’t go overboard with color or make-up.”

So, what does a typical outfit look like? “For a day of sightseeing in the city, I opt for a slouchy tailored pant, paired with an oversized vintage motorcycle jacket and white tee,” says Tiernan Cowling. For both men and women, it’s all about investing in high-quality classics that transcend fleeting trends.

L’AGENCE High-Rise Skinny Jeans

Bloomingdale's

Jeans are a staple in the wardrobe of every French woman, and generally, there are no rips, no frays, or no embellishments, just classic cuts that fit well, often styled with a black leather belt. Shopping for jeans can be a minefield, but L’Agence is always a reliable go-to, and these Margot jeans are perfect for travel, as they are made from a super stretch denim that holds its shape. The flattering style has a slight crop, a contoured waistband, and is available in 13 different colors. If you’re embarking on a day of sightseeing – say, hiking up Sacré-Coeur or wandering the grounds of Versailles - these will make the journey a lot more comfortable than regular rigid denim.

Best Day Dress

Staud mini wells dress.

Your days are bound to be varied – you may begin at Café de Flore, and then on to Musée de l'Orangerie before landing at a photogenic rooftop bar for an aperitif. With that in mind, you’ll need something that can adapt to a dynamic itinerary, like this feminine white dress from Staud. It fits firmly within the realm of timeless French style with an elegant square neck, a scoop back, and an A-line silhouette that hits above the knee. Although it has corset-style paneling through the midsection, the fabric is breathable and has some stretch. It’s also available in a midi-length and nine different shades, including a whimsical white with macaron-colored stripes .

Ines de la Fressange Sheer Cotton Relaxed Long Sleeve Shirt

Designed by a French model and muse, this classic shirt is a great piece to have in your arsenal. It has a relaxed cut, a sheer fabric, and a rounded hem with side splits. Cuff up the sleeves and wear it half undone with a fitted bodice or lace-trimmed camisole underneath. It will cost you less than a round of Kir Royales and is sure to be on high rotation this summer and beyond (and if you’re Riviera bound after Paris, it will double as a swimsuit coverup).

Everlane Breton Tee

You can always count on Everlane for timeless basics, like this long-sleeved marinière top. Unlike berets, French girls actually wear tees like this on a daily basis, tucked into jeans, perhaps with a pair of loafers and tousled hair, a la Lou Doillon. We love how the stripes aren’t too exaggerated – it’s a classic dark navy with thin contrasting lines. And the cut is flattering on most figures with a dropped shoulder, relaxed fit, and a high boat neck, perfect for accessorizing with a simple gold chain necklace (something like this Como necklace from Soru would be perfect).

Best Trench

Zara flowy trench.

This razor-thin trench coat from Zara could pull any ensemble together, either worn open like a flowy duster or done up with the tie belt defining the waist. It’s made from a silky and breathable lyocell fabric that is wrinkle resistant, so it won’t look too disheveled after your journey across the Atlantic. The hem hits at the mid-calf and it has convenient pockets at the hip, plus a wide lapel collar. It’s available in three neutral colors: beige, khaki, and black.

Best Cardigan

Vince ribbed wool and cashmere button cardigan.

A fitted cashmere cardigan is just as French as Breton stripes, and this luxurious style from Vince is one of the most elegant and high-quality options on the market. The tailoring is refined, and the soft pastel blue shade looks even more striking in real life. It could be worn open with a fitted white tank or buttoned up over a nude-colored cami . Pack it for a day of exploring and if it gets too warm, it looks just as chic draped over the shoulders with the arms tied around the neck like a scarf.

Banana Republic Slim Traveler Pants

Banana Republic

As the name suggests, these pants were designed with travel in mind, made from a specially engineered Italian cotton that has enough stretch to move around in. They’re also breathable and are available in regular and tall sizing options and six different colors, ranging from jet black to khaki beige – all within the standard neutral colorscape of des Garcons .

Best Sweater

J.crew cotton piqué-stitch crewneck sweater.

J.Crew makes some of the best cashmere sweaters around, but they won’t break the bank. 

This classic crewneck is a solid staple you could pair with jeans and sneakers for a day of sightseeing. It has a slightly slim fit, a crewneck, and ribbed detailing at the cuffs and hemline. It’s available in XS to 2X and a range of bright colors, but we recommend the heather gray, charcoal, or one of the more neutral shades (for Paris, and anywhere).

Banana Republic Linen Cotton Dress Shirt

Every man could do with a sophisticated blue and white striped shirt in their wardrobe, and this linen iteration would be perfect for Paris in the spring. It doesn’t have any distracting pockets and is versatile enough to be dressed up or down, depending on what your itinerary involves. Cuff up the sleeves, add a bold silver watch, and pair them with some chinos and loafers and you’ll have a versatile look on hand.

Best T-shirt

Arket cotton jersey t-shirt.

This is the simplest of plain white tees – there’s no chest pocket or any unnecessary features, it’s a true classic that is ideal for layering under utility jackets and blazers. It’s made from a lightweight cotton jersey, using an open-ended yarn that provides a soft, yet structured feel. And at this price, you can’t go wrong.

Best Jacket

Everlane organic cotton herringbone utility jacket.

Everlane has just launched a capsule collection titled “Modern Utility” and it’s full of essentials that work perfectly for a trip to Paris. One piece that caught our eye is this boxy utility jacket with front patch pockets, cuffed sleeves, and a button front closure. It looks like a shirt blended with a blazer, which is perfect for smart-casual outings. This is an easy piece to pair with a white tee underneath, chinos, and classic sneakers.

Best Evening Dress

Significant other midi halter dress.

Moda Operandi

This is a prime example of how real French women dress up: sexy but always sophisticated, stylish but never succumbing to fleeting trends. This classic midi-length dress has an elegant, twisted halter neck, a low V back, and a slinky silhouette that doesn’t cling (that said, adding shapewear underneath is advised – this Spanx bodysuit would do the trick). It’s made from a lightweight viscose blend and has an invisible zip fastening at the back. Can’t you just see Emily in Paris ’ Sylvie Grateau wearing it to a gala at the Palais Garnier, styled with sculptural earrings from Dinh Van? C’est chic .

Best Evening Jacket

L’agence tweed blazer.

Saks Fifth Avenue

This shimmering tweed blazer is an after-dark showstopper. The style is quintessentially Parisian, with a structured, ladylike silhouette, delicately textured tweed, and uniformed gold buttons lining the cuffs. In other words, it could pass for Chanel and is something that would live in your wardrobe forever. It has an open front with a fringe finish and is slim fitting through the arms, so if you’re planning on layering, size up. It’s the sort of item you don’t want to take off when you get inside – a hero piece to build an outfit around.

Tube tops can be tricky to pull off, but this silk version from & Other Stories is the most elegant version we’ve seen in a long time. Made from a glossy silk, it has a flared A-line cut and a corset-style tie back that allows the fit to be adjusted. It’s strapless, so it’s a great piece to wear under a structured blazer or a form-fitting jacket; it could either be a layering piece or a stand-alone statement, depending on the look. Plus, if you opt to wear it while it’s still sunny outside, you won’t have any tan lines to worry about.

L’AGENCE Coated Jean

Forget leather pants, these glossy coated jeans are the way to go for travel (and any occasion, really). They have a subtle sheen that contrasts beautifully with cashmere and silk fabrics, and they fit like a glove, with enough stretch to move around in no matter where the night takes you. The shape is cropped with a slight flare, and they have a flattering contoured waistband that has a sculpting and lifting effect. Pair with a tailored blazer and heels and you’ll have yourself a look.

Best Sleepwear

Intimissi silk slip.

What could make a plush hotel bed even more luxurious? Equally plush sleepwear, like this silky slip from Italian intimates brand, Intimissimi. This is a piece you'd want to be photographed in while gazing out the window with coffee and a croissant in the morning (ideally with a view of the Eiffel Tower ). It’s made from 100 percent Italian silk and has adjustable straps and a fine lace trim along the neckline and the hem. It’s available in multiple colorways, but the icy French blue is our favorite (and the most fitting for Paris).

Vince Linen Long Sleeve Shirt

Vince has a variety of high-quality, timeless staples for les hommes, but it’s their shirts that are renowned as some of the best on the market. And when you’re planning a night out in Paris, a refined, well-tailored shirt is exactly what you’ll need. This classic silhouette is free of any unnecessary details, with an elegant slim cut and a slight sheen. It’s made from a cooling linen fabric and is smart enough to wear on its own, paired with chinos and a leather belt on a hot summer night, or worn under a blazer for a more formal setting.

J.Crew Slim-fit Dress Pant

These lightweight dress chinos are a customer favorite for good reason. They have the structure of tailored suit trousers with enough stretch to move around in comfortably – ideal if you’re wearing them for packed days where you won’t have time to change before dinner. Another useful feature is the button flap waist that looks polished even without a belt – something to consider if suitcase space is limited.

Best Blazer

Onia linen cotton canvas blazer.

A navy blazer in Paris is about as standard as florals for spring, and this linen version hits all the right notes. It has an unstructured fit with notched lapels, shoulder pads, and contrasting mother of pearl buttons. The style isn’t overly formal, but it would be appropriate for any evening destination (besides establishments that require a black tie dress code): think charming bistros, wine bars, the theater, and more.

Hanes Woven Pajama Set

These affordable solid blue pajamas from Hanes are dapper and comfortable. They’re made from a non-irritating, soft cotton blend, and feature a button-down top and pull-on pants with a stretchy waistband. The hem isn’t too long either, hitting around the ankle, so you’re unlikely to trip over them if you get up during the night.

“The beauty and pace of the city lends itself to a leisurely day of walking,” says Cowling. “With hours spent exploring the many museums and art galleries to the beautiful gardens, it's imperative to wear comfortable shoes.” Margaux Medeaux agrees, noting that “you should definitely bring a comfortable pair of sneakers or ballerinas – your best ally to stride along the Parisian streets.”

Indeed, Paris requires a degree of practicality when it comes to footwear, but it’s a city of fantasy, and dressing up is all part of the fun. For footwear, it all comes down to high quality and smart design, and we’ve rounded up the best options that blend both. The common theme? Look to the Italians for the best blend of aesthetics and functionality.

Best Versatile Women’s Day Shoes

Scarosso loafers.

Jetsetters in the know rave about Scarosso’s handcrafted shoes. These look and feel like the crème de la crème of designer loafers (think Roger Vivier, Loro Piana, Tod’s, et al.), but are a fraction of the price. Made from a brushed calf leather, they are supremely comfortable and are fashionable yet timeless. They’re topped with tassels and have a flattering 2.5-centimeter heel and a rubber and leather sole that provides good grip. Another plus for travel? They come equipped with a packable shoe horn and shoe bags to protect from damage in transit.

Best Women’s Heels

M.gemi the mia due 90mm.

The key to wearing heels in Paris is to find a pair you can walk in with confidence, like these slingbacks from M.Gemi, with a flared heel for added stability. The elastic keeps the shoe firmly in place without rubbing, and they’re made from a luxuriously soft Italian Nappa leather. Other details include the round topline that has an elongating effect on the legs and the ladylike pointed toe. If a high heel seems too daunting, they’re also available in a lower-heeled version. And color-wise, opt for the ballet pink or the black (save the metallics for somewhere flashier, like Milan).

Best Sneakers for Men and Women

Everlane the forever sneaker.

Simple and comfortable sneakers will serve you well in Paris, and this popular style from Everlane has the comfort and durability of a sports shoe without screaming “athleisure.” They’re wearable, versatile, and available in basic black and white, without any distracting logos or color accents. Half-size options are available for both men and women, so you can ensure you’re getting a good fit – necessary if you’re going to be walking around in them all day.

Best Loafers for Men

Scarosso men's ludovico loafer.

Another sophisticated style from Italian brand Scarosso is the lightweight Ludovico Loafer, made from a dark brown calfskin leather. The rubber sole is flexible, grippy, and bouncy – i.e., ideal for both packing and walking around while you’re on the ground. They feature hand stitching on the sides of the vamp, and a low, elongating shape that is flattering on the ankle (and looks great with cuffed chinos). Plus, they’re so soft, you won’t need to break them in before wearing them.

Best Men’s Evening Shoes

M.gemi penny loafer.

Penny loafers have long been a gentleman’s go-to for formal occasions, and this elegant pair from M. Gemi is comfortable, stylish, and durable. They have a flexible sole, Grosgrain binding for blister-free wear, and a hand-burnished finish in a soft calf leather. Per most of the best shoes, these are handmade in Italy, and the artisan craftsmanship is evident.

The main accessories you’ll need for Paris are items to complete your outfit – think sunglasses, a crossbody bag, and a good belt. And, as on any trip, remember to pack your sunscreen and any toiletries you may need while abroad.  One item the Paris Tourist Board recommends bringing is a reusable water bottle. “You will find many self-service drinking water fountains,” advised a representative.

Best Women’s Sunglasses

Toteme square-frame acetate sunglasses.

Aptly named “The Classics,” these polished black acetate sunglasses from Scandinavian brand Toteme are sure to outlive any seasonal trends. They have a square shape with rounded edges, 100 percent UV protection, and strong, fitted arms that help to keep them in place. And the logo is subtle – there are no bold gold accents on the sides or anything that could clash with your jewelry.

Best Men’s Sunglasses

Garrett leight round acetate sunglasses.

Garrett Leight

Some colored sunglasses can look like forced trends, but this muted butterscotch pair from Garrett Leight is sophisticated and flattering on most face shapes. The acetate frame is quite thin, so the color isn’t an overbearing feature, and the mineral glass lenses contain AR coating and UV protection. Although the arms are slim, you can turn your head without worrying about them falling off.

Best Women’s Belt

J.crew classic belt in patent leather.

An often overlooked but game-changing accessory is a classic black belt. It can elevate the most basic ensembles, say a white tee and jeans – to look a lot more polished and put together. This patent vegan leather belt from J.Crew is an excellent option, with gold hardware, invisible black stitching, and a medium width that goes with most pants (or dresses to accentuate the waist).

Best Men’s Belt

Boss leather belt.

Made from 100 percent Italian leather and available in black, brown, and dark brown, this Boss belt is a wardrobe staple you’re sure to get a lot of wear out of — whether you're packing for a business trip or a Parisian getaway. It has a minimal silver pin buckle that doesn’t distract from the rest of your outfit. It’s noted to size up for the best fit.

Best Handbag

Jw pei flap crossbody.

When traveling to any city, a crossbody bag with just enough space for the essentials is sure to make life easier. And there are, of course, a myriad of options from Paris’s most revered maisons (Dior, Celine, Saint Laurent, and more), but affordable bags are having a moment, and this vegan leather style is an excellent option if you want a designer look for under $100. Plus, Parisians aren’t big on flashy labels and loud embellishments, so an understated bag like this would fit right in. It will easily fit your phone, hand sanitizer, lip balms, and wallet.

Best Jewelry

Messika paris pink gold diamond ring.

Messika Paris

Messika is one of the most innovative jewelry houses to emerge from Paris since Cartier, and this 18-carat gold and diamond ring has become a hot ticket item with les filles . The central diamond sways to movement in a delicate gold “cage” and it sits higher on the finger, just below nails. This is understated elegance at its best.

Best Water Bottle

Larq bottle purevis.

This is the world’s first self-cleaning water bottle with a built-in water purification system, designed to eliminate 99 percent of bio contaminants, including e-coli. You’re highly unlikely to get water poisoning from Paris, but it’ll give you extra peace of mind if you’re filling up at a fountain you’re on the fence about. Plus, it looks sleek and is available in insulated and non-insulated versions — making it easy to stay hydrated no matter where your travels take you.

Having too much luggage can be cumbersome, so consider how much space you’ll need for the days that you’re there. If it’s a quick weekend jaunt across the Atlantic, you might even be able to manage with a carry-on suitcase and a duffel, but for longer trips, taking a larger, checked suitcase is advised. 

Before purchasing any luggage, be sure to check the allowance on the airline’s website – there are many carriers offering the NYC to Paris route nowadays (Air France, Emirates, United Airlines, American Airlines and more), and the dimensions for carry-on suitcases can vary. 

Best Checked Suitcase

Away the medium flex.

Modern travelers are familiar with Away’s innovative suitcases (you can even spot them in the hotel lobby of the latest White Lotus series), and the brand’s newest release is ideal for trips where you’re likely to be returning with more than what you left with – aka the shopping mecca that is Paris. The hardshell-style suitcase has a flex zipper expansion that allows for an extra 1.175 inches of space, plus, it has smart features like 360-degree spinner wheels, a TSA-combination lock, and interior compression.

Best Duffel

Lesportsac large weekender.

LeSportsac’s Weekenders are ideal for short trips or for stowing in the overhead bin on your flight. They’re made from a durable, ripstop recycled nylon, and have interior and exterior pockets so you can keep everything in order (and ensure your passports are tucked away safely). It has a top handle and a wide detachable crossbody strap.

Best Carry-on Suitcase

Tumi international expandable carry-on.

While this is an investment, Tumi suitcases are made to last, and this four-wheeled expandable carry-on looks slick and has smart features throughout, from the built-in USB port, to the lightweight, antimicrobial-treated shell for germ-conscious travelers. It has an expanded depth, so you can fit more inside, and the dimensions are the largest that are allowed on most international and domestic flights, so it's a great option whether you're packing for a trip to Vegas or Paris.

According to Bulgari’s Bastien Lalanne “flashy jewelry is generally not recommended when you travel, and in a big city like Paris we would advise visitors to stay discreet.”

Kerry Fee, an advisor with Travellustre, a Virtuoso Agency, says that travelers should avoid bringing too many clothes. “It sounds silly, being Paris and all, but overpacking and overdressing is a common mistake for many clients,” she says. “Don't go overboard, pack simply, and focus on staples, monochromatic colors and step up your accessories!” Even if you're packing for a long trip , you're better off taking the streamlined approach.

The Paris Tourist Office’s top tips? “Don’t come to Paris with too much luggage and don’t bring things that you can easily find. In “the shopping capital” you can always buy what you need (or want!) in one of the many stores. It will also be an opportunity to discover the historic department stores, local shops, famous boutiques, as well as the numerous creators’ and craftsmen’s workshops.”

“We would avoid moving around with a huge camera, city maps and souvenirs’ shop bags,” says Bastien Lalanne. And as for the actual outfits, less is more. “Contrary to what one might think after watching Emily in Paris, the baguette and the beret are not good accessories to choose if you want to look like a real Parisian. Instead, opt for a chic but relaxed look to fully experience the effervescent life Paris has to offer,” advises Cheval Blanc’s Margaux Médeau.

Think of a capsule wardrobe with high-quality, well-tailored staples: jeans, a fresh white tee, a tailored shirt, a blazer, a trench, practical shoes, and a secure crossbody bag. 

Yes, and according to Fee, “filling stations are located few throughout the city, but you can pop into any cafe and kindly ask to fill up (and ideally leave a small tip as appreciation or sit for a quick espresso).” She adds that the water in Paris is fine to drink. “I always encourage clients to avoid disposable plastic whenever possible and would recommend bringing a water bottle as you cruise the city.”
