Anna Wintour's Capsule Wardrobe She Always Packs for Paris
Much like Kate Middleton and her royal tours, we always love to see what Anna Wintour wears when she travels internationally. When anyone—celebrity or not—packs for a trip, their outfits are typically more thought-out given the restrictions of having to choose from pieces in a suitcase as opposed to an entire closet. When you throw fashion week and dozens of street style photographers into the mix, you can bet Wintour's outfits are especially considered.
Wintour always packs certain items when she attends Paris Fashion Week. For starters, she reliably wears skirt suits in the City of Light—specifically tweed ones with midi skirts. Yes, she owns at least three different versions of this exact outfit, and we don't blame her in the least for having a go-to uniform. Scroll down to shop Anna Wintour's capsule wardrobe she always packs for Paris Fashion Week shows.
Skirt Suits
Skirt suits are a staple in Anna Wintour's suitcase for Paris. In particular, she favors midi lengths and tweed fabrics—preferably by Chanel.
Printed Dresses and Strappy Sandals
Anna Wintour knows you can never go wrong with printed dresses and strappy sandals. She is famous for wearing Manolo Blahnik shoes, but there are plenty of stylish options at cheaper price points to get the same vibe.
Satin Party Dress
Wintour after dark. Inevitably, there will be a fancy party on her Paris itinerary, so she never forgets to bring an evening look. The $60 H&M option below is certainly Wintour-worthy if you ask me.
Snakeprint Boots
Last but not least, you'd have to pry Wintour's snakeprint boots from her cold, dead hands.
Next, these 22 pairs of under-$100 jeans are foolproof purchases.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
