Nice, France: What I Pack for My Favorite Beach Club Days

Shop the full collection on my MyShop

Every time we return to Nice in the summer I’m reminded why it’s my favorite place to reset with my husband. The days are long, the water is a perfectly cool, refreshing and gentle enough to float around all day, and the style is unapologetically breezy. From wandering the cobblestones of 'Old Nice' to long days at the beach club, I dress to feel elevated but entirely comfortable.

Breezy Silhouettes for Old Nice

Summer's in Nice are beautiful but hot. Wearing light weight, breezy fabrics are ideal for strolling on sitting at a cafe to linger and people watch.

The Only Sandal You’ll Need

Whether we're lounging at the Le Galet Beach Club or strolling into old town Nice, I need comfortable but chic summer walking sandals. Here's a similar style to the pair I own - these are stylish and work great for a vacation capsule wardrobe.

Carry-on Bag


I like my carry-on bags to be crossbody and secure. It makes it convenient to hold my passport and wallet. Although my Longchamp crossbody is sold out, I've linked to a similar one for you.

Aesthetic Luggage

Everything starts with my Mark & Graham Terminal 1 luggage set in Navy. It's not just chic; it's a workhorse that fits perfectly into the overhead bin while looking incredibly polished. I have the Terminal One Mini which works for those strict European carry-on size restrictions and the Terminal 1 Expandable Carry-On Luggage which I can carry-on or check it if I don't feel like rolling it around.

My Travel Day Outfit

Being comfortable and looking chic may sound impossible for travel days but I've found my go-to outfit with the Spanx AirEssentials Jacket and wide-leg pants. Both are buttery soft and perfect for my domestic and long-haul, international flights.
