How to pack light for your summer holiday
< Back to Articles
Make this your summer vacation packing bible!
We love being outfit-ready for any occasion on our summer vacay. Lugging around a hefty suitcase? Not so much. If you’re one to stuff your suitcases to the brim, fret not. The art to packing light is pretty simple: narrow it down to key, versatile clothing items you can repeat for different occasions and outfits!
As a guide, here’s all you need for the ultimate summer holiday capsule wardrobe:
• a white shirt or shirtdress,
• a swimsuit,
• denim cutoffs
• a printed scarf,
• comfortable sneakers,
• gym wear,
• a cute little dress for the evening,
• block heels,
• a statement bag,
• and lastly, accessories (e.g. earrings!)
SIGHTSEE AND MUSEUM-HOP IN STYLE
The classic and versatile white shirtdress can be worn various ways: tucked into a pair of denim cutoffs for a chic-yet-comfortable sightseeing look, or as a shirtdress for a casual day exploring the local museums and cafes. Rock a pair of sneakers for the former, or a stylish block heel for the latter. We confess: we love how block heels won’t leave your feet hurting after a whole day of museum-hopping.

SUNRISE YOGA AND DINNER DATE BY THE BEACH
And of course, with most resorts now introducing sunrise yoga sessions by the beach, remember to throw in your favourite gym wear! A pair of yoga tights, a workout tank, and a pair of sneakers will do the trick as you namaste to the rising tropical sun. Come evening as the sun sets, turn heads in an evening dress, a pair of classic earrings, and your trusty block heels, as you sip on tipples and dance the night away at the local beach bar.

POOLSIDE CHIC
Lastly, a bright printed scarf and statement sunglasses are definite must-haves for that summery French Riviera vibes. Wear the scarf around your neck to elevate your daytime outfit, or drape it around your waist as a cover-up for your favourite swimsuit. (Pro-tip: it’s also a perfect style hack for masking that inevitable holiday food belly.) SHOP THE LOOK HERE:
The final touches to your perfect summer holiday packing list? A great suitcase and passport holder, of course! Ditch that worn out weekend bag with a sturdy suitcase and give your frayed passport a new lease of life with a chic passport holder. (Trust us: nothing gets you more excited for an upcoming summer holiday than a chic new suitcase you can jet set off in style with.)
