Weekend Getaway: Lisbon Fashion Guide

My weekend getaway was phenomenal, and so were my outfits. Here is everything I did and wore in Lisbon, Portugal.

I arrived in Lisbon on a Thursday afternoon and immediately took advantage of the beautiful city's unique vintage shopping. The city's worthwhile vintage shops congregate in the heart of the town, which, lucky for me, makes them easy to find and explore. Retro City Lisboa in Lisbon had unique pieces meant to last instead of being made to be fast. Their vast collection of leather, military, faux fur, and retro bomber jackets has survived the ages and landed in my closet! Next is Electric Tiger Vintage Shop in Lisbon, undoubtedly the best vintage store in the city. Filled with quality vintage wear, you are destined to find a gem within this shop. Lastly is A Outra Face da Lua in Lisbon, a memorable take on the thrift shopping concept, one of the most unique and exciting shops I have ever visited. Within the center of the vintage shop sits a cafe where you can get a light brunch during your shopping experience.

During my first night in Lisbon, I ate at an exquisite restaurant called JNEQUOI. Even during the darker hours of my trip, the weather was much warmer than what I am used to in Paris. Therefore, I opted for a long black maxi skirt and a long sleeve black top with an open back, keeping me warm, comfortable, and chic.

The following day, my friends and I went surfing. I could not believe how fantastic the weather was; it was nothing like Paris! I worked up quite an appetite and decided to grab a quick bite at Time Out Market. On a mission to look my best while covered in salt water, I opted for a pair of white jeans and a white t-shirt with a tan cardigan to keep me warm.

As my fantastic weekend getaway in Lisbon continued, the weather was getting a bit chillier, meaning I had to layer (my favorite activity). My friends and I went on a sunset boat tour around the city, and I knew I had to dress to impress. So I wore a sleek white button-down paired with a knitted skirt that gave my outfit a pop of color. I then wore a brown sweater that matched my brown boots to tie my outfit together.

My trip to Lisbon, Portugal, was terrific, giving me a taste of the warm and sunny weather I already miss. Thank you for reading, and see you next weekend.
