what to wear for paris near the end of may?

Question

i come from a very warm country so i have nothing geared for cold weather whatsoever. any advice would be appreciated! and also will a leather jacket be okay during that period of time? thanks!

Answer 1

May is the time of the year when we start to wear summer clothes, cotton dresses, short sleeves, sandals, etc... and you probably would need your leather jacket only in the evening when the sun has set, or if you chance upon a cloudy wet day. You do not need to buy cold weather clothing, just pack one or two cardigans which you can peel off .Have a folding umbrella for wet days, which still often happen and both stout and light shoes.

Answer 2

keep it low color. nothing super neon or bright. parisians usually wear blacks or browns. it might be hard to wear that in may, but it might help you not stand out as much.
