How people dress in Paris
- Light rain falls on 9–13 days a month all year, so a compact umbrella or a water-resistant trench-style coat is useful in every season.
- Summer highs average around 25 °C but heatwaves do happen, so light, breathable clothes and sun protection help in July and August.
- Winters are damp rather than freezing, with lows around 2–4 °C, so a warm coat and scarf cover most days.
- Spring and autumn mornings are cool while afternoons turn mild, so layers you can remove are the practical choice.
- Many streets are cobbled and metro stations have plenty of stairs, so comfortable flat shoes beat heels for a day of walking.
