What to Wear in Paris and the South of France This Summer

From the romance of Paris to the sun-drenched charm of Saint-Tropez, Nice, and Èze, France is the ultimate backdrop for a summer escape. Think cobble-stone streets, striped umbrellas, seaside rosé, and looks that balance elegance and ease. Whether you're planning a French Riviera getaway or simply manifesting one, this is your go-to travel style guide for looking chic à la Mestiza.

Bonjour, Paris! City of Light, Champagne, and Chic Tailoring

Start your trip in Paris, where the streets are as romantic as your outfit. The Etta Scallop Top and Etta Scallop Skort in Navy is a tailored, feminine staple that captures that effortless Parisian street style. Wear it while sipping espresso at Café de Flore, or strolling along the Seine. Add a silk neck scarf, classic loafers, and a coupe of champagne—et voilà, you’re already blending in with the locals. Before heading south, swing by Avenue Montaigne for a luxury shopping spree and a peek at the latest from Dior, Chanel, and more.

Train South: Style Your Way to the French Riviera

First Stop: Saint-Tropez

Sun, style, and seafood. For dinner at the intimate Hotel La Ponche, pair an all-white linen ensemble with the Sicilian Sunset Earrings and raffia heels. Order the tuna crudo and burrata, and don’t forget the martini for the photo, of course.

Sightsee in Style: Citadel, Coffee, and the Mercedes Mini

Morning calls for a café crème at the iconic red Café Sénéquier. Then, head uphill to the Citadel of Saint-Tropez for sweeping views and a bit of history. Wear the Mercedes Mini Dress, its sun decal buttons and blue and white stripes are perfect for exploring the old port in comfort and style. Don’t forget a straw hat and SPF!

Lunch and Lounge at Le Club 55

Lunch and lounging at Le Club 55? Yes, please. The Riviera Shorts are made for slipping between the table and the beach. Style them with an open linen shirt, your favorite bikini, and a woven tote from the local Place des Lices market. Minimal effort, maximum je ne sais quoi.

Sunset Style in Saint-Tropez

Dinner at Hotel Byblos is the moment. Let the Bijou Halter Mini do the talking. With gold heels and a slicked ponytail, you’ll be the best-dressed at the bar. Bonus: this dress travels wrinkle-free and pairs perfectly with a night of tequila-fueled glamour.

Next Stop: Nice

Nice is made for wandering. Style the Payton Top and Naomi Shorts for a walk through Cours Saleya Market, where blooms, spices, and fresh produce beckon. This matching linen set is ideal for both exploring and impromptu photo ops along the Promenade des Anglais.

End the day at Le Plongeoir, Nice’s iconic cliffside restaurant. If you didn’t score a res, don’t worry, head to the bar below for cocktails with a view. The Havana Mini Dress brings the polish with it's watercolor tile blue/green print.

A Day Trip to Èze, the Jewel of the Côte d’Azur

Save the best for last. The hilltop village of Èze is pure magic. Wear the Solenn Midi Dress to explore the winding pathways and panoramic views from the Jardin Exotique. The floaty red cotton and relaxed silhouette channel a romantic, carefree spirit—perfect for saying au revoir to summer in style.
