What To Pack For Your Next Holiday

If like us, you dress according to your holiday destination, it’s all about pre-styling outfits and planning ahead. So whether you’re going to explore a bustling city, jetting off abroad or heading to UK coastlines, we’ve rounded up the styles to pack for each type holiday. This is a capsule wardrobe you can return to all season.

“From statement swimwear to style on the beach to lightweight linens for the city, these are your summer essentials.”

The city break

 
When it comes to packing for a city break, allow capacious but unassuming silhouettes to define your holiday style. Fresh and light casuals are perfect for days spent exploring – think relaxed tees, breezy shorts, linen dresses and trainers or sandals. The allure of these looks lies in their simplicity, so keep the rest of your outfit minimal and just add signature sunglasses and our Verity backpack. When you’re limited with luggage space, co-ords are the ideal summer solution to mix and match for alternate outfits.

The beach holiday

 
More exotic destinations are your chance to experiment with print and colour, as well as charismatic holiday staples. Invest in one-pieces in warm sunset tones or animal print bikinis and offset your looks by adding statement jewellery, modern sandals and a woven straw bag. Accessorise liberally to add a new edge to every outfit – after all, that is the charm of holiday dressing. When it comes to after-dark styling, choose languid silhouettes and vibrant shades to create energetic yet effortless looks.

The staycation

 
Trips to the coast and UK staycations mean unpredictable weather, so a versatile wardrobe is essential. Pack casuals that you can layer such as T-shirts, sweaters, jeans and more optimistic pieces including summer dresses, shorts and midi skirts – just in case. A chic blouse goes well with everything and at night, depending on your dinner plans, opt for an easy printed dress. Look for classic shapes with subtle twists that elevate them beyond tried-and-tested staples, such as an open back or voluminous sleeves.
