We Went on a Vacation to France—Here Are the Key Items We Wore to Look Chic

"Our recent mother-daughter vacation to France was an unforgettable adventure, filled with the most gorgeous landscapes, delicious cuisine, and, of course, impeccable fashion. In a country celebrated for its style, we decided to embrace the chic sophistication that French fashion is renowned for and wore our Parisian-girl outfits. With a shared love for timeless elegance, we curated a wardrobe that not only made us feel stylish but also captured the essence of French flair," Melissa Meyers said.
Keep scrolling to check out the vacation must-haves the Meyers women wore on their trip to France, complete with visual and shopping inspiration if you're interested in testing out one of their pieces for one of your upcoming trips.
Printed Pieces
"One of our standout choices was incorporating prints into our outfit selections. We especially love the intricate and classic toile patterns that are wildly popular in the U.S. now too! They exude sophistication and blend perfectly with the romantic ambiance of France. Whether on dresses, skirts, or blouses, toile prints added a touch of elegance to our look, making us feel like we were part of the rich French textile history." — Melissa Meyers
White Sundresses
"White sundresses are the perfect thing to wear on warm South of France days. They are timeless, simple, and capture the essence of French chic, offering both comfort and style. A pretty white dress is the perfect outfit to wear from sightseeing to lunch and then the pool." — Rachel Meyers
Shorts Sets
"Shorts sets have a polished yet laid-back look ideal for casual strolls through charming French towns. The coordinated pieces simplified our outfit planning, allowing us to maintain a cohesive and stylish appearance with minimal effort." — Melissa Meyers
Chunky Slide Sandals
"Comfort meets style with chunky slide sandals, a staple for our long days of walking and exploring. Their modern design added a contemporary touch to our outfits! We splurged and bought matching styles at the Hermès boutique in Cannes." — Rachel Meyers
Oval Sunglasses
"Adding a vintage vibe to our looks, oval gold-rim sunglasses brought a retro flair reminiscent of classic French cinema icons. The subtle glamour of the gold rims provided a hint of luxury, perfectly balancing style and practicality with essential UV protection for our outdoor activities." — Melissa Meyers
Structured Bags
"Structured lady bags were our sophisticated accessory of choice, elevating every outfit with their elegant design. Their timeless appeal ensured that we could use them well beyond our vacation, adding a touch of Parisian sophistication to our everyday looks. We love their elegance and versatility and their ability to take any outfit from day to night." — Melissa Meyers
