Packing co-ords is a great way to have multiple outfit options with minimal packing. This top’s asymmetric neckline will elevate everything I pack, from simple linen trousers to my trusty denim shorts.
“I particularly love these shorts with the matching Ivy top – but I know they’ll look smart thrown on over a simple swimsuit too.”
“I try to keep my footwear to a minimum, especially for short-haul trips, as it can take up so much bag space. As well as a minimalist pair of sandals, I always pack a pair with chunkier soles that can withstand days spent walking around and exploring.”
“A neutral holdall is a piece I turn to for every trip, and this summer, I’m swapping my trusty raffia basket bag for a softer, leather-trimmed number. This one is the perfect size to carry all my essentials day to day, as well while I’m travelling. It can be personalised too – a real bonus.”
“A jumpsuit is such an easy outfit solution, so a linen version is a great piece to take to warmer climes. I love the wide legs and versatile stone colour of this one.”
“I’m a huge fan of Matteau’s summer-ready designs. They always feel so effortless to wear. I’ll wear this skirt layered over swimwear, as well as paired with a simple tank top and some statement accessories for evenings out.”
“One great piece of swimwear is all you need for a short-haul trip. I like to take a versatile swimsuit that can double up as a top when layered under skirts, shorts and trousers.”
“Sunglasses are your opportunity to make a bit of a statement if you wish. This Prada pair feel really contemporary but also classic, and also add a splash of complementary colour.”
“Milne Watson’s beaded necklaces instantly put me in the holiday mood. This playful ‘Cin Cin’ design is my favourite.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever travelled without a shirt dress. They look right in every context – poolside over swimwear, styled with black-leather accessories at dinner, and everything in between. I’m biased, but this one from our collection with Casa Raki is particularly special.”
“I love crochet in the summer, as it always adds a beautiful bohemian edge. This dress by Faithfull The Brand is so chic – the perfect piece to layer over swimwear if you want to head straight from the beach to the bar and feel instantly put-together.”
“A classic timepiece can really elevate the simplest of looks. Go for heirloom-worthy styles that are built to last so you need never take them off, even when splashing around in the sea.”
“Mixing metals is such an easy way to make a style statement, and these hoops do all the hard work for you.”
“Another crochet piece that can be easily dressed up or down, and worn for everything from a day's sightseeing to a beachside dinner.”
“A minimalist sandal is always part of my holiday repertoire. Go for a slim sole, and think straps and subtle detailing, like the gold toe detail on this pair.”
“Sun safety is always paramount for me, so I like to pack a bronzing cream that gives my skin a sunkissed boost safely. It’s lightweight, buildable and looks really natural.”
