While my vacation wardrobe is typically a narrowed-down version of my everyday outfits that fluctuate depending on the destination, I do find myself wanting to add a few new pieces to the mix ahead of a big trip. This year, I have my sight set on France, and I am prepping my closet now with Parisian-inspired clothing to ensure I'm ready.
Walmart's exclusive brands are making this easy with so many chic, travel-friendly pieces starting at just $12. I found trench coats, blazers, button-up blouses, and sweaters that will perfectly round out my travel wardrobe and my everyday collection. Shop my top picks for Parisian wardrobe essentials below, all under $50.
This collared cardigan comes in three colors, including navy, striped, and light blue and features statement-making buttons. It's a lightweight sweater that can be layered under a jacket, and the striped style specifically stands out as a piece that I will wear both on vacation and as my day-to-day wear. I plan to style this piece with jeans or trousers for a casual or more polished look.
While this skirt will come in handy for special occasions at home, the pleated style and mid length will also go well with sneakers, sandals, and heels while exploring a new European city. One shopper said they love the weight of the fabric, adding that it can be dressed up or down. Grab it in navy and light blue for just $26 before it sells out.
I recently added this trench coat to my arsenal, and it quickly became a staple wardrobe. While I love that the beige jacket goes well with a variety of outfits, I'm eyeing the vibrant red hue for my upcoming trip. The 100-percent cotton jacket offers enough warmth for a chilly day, but it's also breathable for transitional weather.
