What to Pack for a Stylish Summer in Europe – Teen Edition

Hi guys, I’m your European-based teen style lover here to give you the scoop on what to pack if you’re headed to Europe this summer. Whether you’re strolling through Paris, eating gelato in Rome, or snapping pics in Santorini, you’ll want to feel comfy and effortlessly stylish.

Trust me—you don’t need to overpack. Just a few key pieces can totally carry you through your adventure. There is nothing worse than shlepping a huge bag through the tiny cobblestone streets of Europe! Less is more when it comes to the dress code in Europe and how to look effortlessly chic!

Here’s what I swear by:

Black Long Silk Skirt – So chic. So floaty. So perfect. Dress it up for a dinner in Barcelona or pair it with sneakers and a tee for museum-hopping in Berlin. It goes with everything and feels dreamy even in hot weather.

Black and White Tank Tops – This is your mix-and-match BFF. Throw them on with the silk skirt or your fave cotton shorts. The black-and-white vibe looks effortlessly cool in pics (yes, I said it—your Insta will thank you). P.S. Leave the jean shorts behind. While they are great in the United States jean shorts are not the vibe in Europe. (Think linen and cotton!)

White Sundress – You cannot do a European summer without a white sundress. It’s breezy, classic, and looks amazing against all those colorful old buildings. Plus, it goes from day to night with just a quick shoe swap. You can pack a light weight cardigan to go with for a pop of color or even a cotton shirt to throw over it for the cooler nights.

Small Orange Purse – A little pop of color, and so easy to carry! It brightens up all your outfits and is just big enough for your phone, lip balm, and sunnies. I happen to love orange and get so many compliments. But this particular purse comes in a dozen colors so get the pop of color that you love!

Blue Linen Pants – Light, breathable, and perfect for travel days or cafes in the shade. Pair them with your tank top or a crop top and boom—you’re a Euro summer pro. I also love how light weight these are and can be used for a beach cover up as well.

And for a bit of self-care magic:

Weleda Skin Food – My skin gets super dry after all the sun and travel, but this stuff is like a drink of water for your face. Total lifesaver. It also works as an amazing primer under make-up.

Kérastase Hair Mask – Your hair will thank you after all that saltwater and sun. I use this once a week and it keeps my hair shiny and happy.

The best part? Everything mixes and matches—less to pack, more room for souvenirs or new clothes you buy while traveling!

You’ll look cute, feel good, and have more time for the fun stuff (like croissants by the Eiffel Tower)!
