Skip the last-minute packing panic this year by getting your holiday wardrobe sorted in advance. Whether you're boarding a flight to sunnier skies or staying closer to home, these staples are the ones to reach for when the sun’s out and the suitcase is open.
From relaxed layers to easy outfit-builders, here’s what to take with you wherever the season leads.
TEE
A dependable t-shirt is always the first thing to pack. From long walks and lazy lunches to last-minute plans, it fits just about every setting. While a plain white option remains a classic, this summer is the time to try bold colourways or textured finishes that add interest without overthinking it.
SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT
A short-sleeve shirt is a versatile addition to your wardrobe that instantly refreshes your look. Perfect for warm evenings, casual outings, or alfresco dinners, it’s an easy way to break away from your usual rotation. Opt for light fabrics that keep you cool, and choose a style that suits your vibe – whether that’s classic, modern, or something with a bit of flair.
SHORTS
No holiday is complete without a good pair of shorts. Comfort is key, so think breathable fabrics and cuts that move with you. An elasticised waistband works well for off-duty days, while a smarter style makes sense when the plans call for something a little more polished. One good pair can cover both.
TROUSERS
When the sun goes down or the dress code shifts, lightweight trousers step in. Something easy to style, in a cut that works with shirts or tees, is ideal for evenings out or travel days. And if you want to lean into utility, cargo trousers offer both comfort and extra practicality without compromising on style.
SHADES
Finish your holiday wardrobe with the most important accessory: sunglasses. A flattering frame does more than just protect your eyes – it completes your outfit and elevates every photo. Whether you prefer something classic or want to experiment with colour, it’s a small detail that makes a big difference.
Wherever you’re heading, the right mix of laid-back staples and effortless extras makes getting dressed the easiest part of your holiday. With these pieces in your line-up, you’ll have all the foundations you need - just add sun.
