What to pack for Paris Fashion Week: Elevated essentials

Breakfast at Café de Flore, a leisurely stroll through the Louvre, dinner at Le Cinq, a nightcap at The Ritz’s Bar Hemingway… A trip to Paris during fashion week means you have to be ready for anything, which requires a suitcase of chic closet fail-safes that will work for any time or place. Let Isabel Marant’s heritage blazer be the foundation of your look: team it with Saint Laurent’s slogan tee and a pair of figure-sculpting leather pants, then add crystal-encrusted stilettos for a touch of Parisian glamour. A spritz of a heady fragrance, like Frédéric Malle’s Carnal Flower, will lend that all-important final touch of je ne sais quois.
