The Editors’ Guide to Easter Destination Dressing

A bucket-list safari trip calls for a palette of earthy neutrals and pieces that are utilitarian in spirit. Channel Saint Laurent’s Veruschka in a multi-pocket, belted jacket, and don’t forget a long pair of trousers in breathable fabric to protect against insect bites.

If your idea of relaxing is more scaling summits than snoozing on the sunlounger, you’ll need an equally action-ready packing list. Performance and comfort are paramount so invest in a great pair of boots and breathable base layers. Add styling flair with a luxe belt bag.

For long days spent beneath the palms, reach for a wardrobe of easy-going essentials. A linen shirt and shorts set can be worn over a swimsuit in the day, then dressed up with jewellery at night. Take one great dress for cocktails and a chic beach bag big enough to double as your travel tote.

Rome, Athens, San Sebastián, Madrid – a sunny city trip is all about polished separates that provide all-day comfort. A simple white tank and tailored shorts fit the bill, and keep a shirt handy for midday sun and church visits. Flats are a must for exploring cobbled streets.

A pair of denim shorts and a slouchy knit is the perfect match for a week of ploughman's lunches, rolling hills and cosy evenings by the fire. Waterproof boots will prove invaluable in the face of river crossings and when yomping through long grass, while a barn or waxed jacket won’t look out of place in the local farm shop.

Heaven is skipping the crowds and heading to the coast out of season – think Martha’s Vineyard in May or late September. Lean into a classic preppy look with a suede skirt set and silk square knotted around your neck. Add a luxe tote and big sunglasses for shopping and lunch.
