Holiday Mode: What’s in the Bag for Summer Escapes
The best summer wardrobes don’t need much. A few reliable pieces, a pair of trainers that can survive a full day of wandering, and clothes that look just as good somewhere new as they do back home.
Whether you’re chasing sun on the coast or getting lost in a city you’ve never been to before, packing is less about taking everything and more about choosing the right things. The pieces that earn their place are the ones that move with you — easy, versatile, and ready for whatever the day brings.
Beach Days, Late Nights & Everything In Between
A beach getaway is all about slowing down. Mornings by the water, afternoons exploring side streets, evenings that stretch longer than planned. The right summer kit needs to handle all of it.
The Gramicci Freedom Tee Pigment Dyed Natural Pigment is the kind of everyday essential that works everywhere. A classic tee with a lived-in feel, it’s made for throwing on after a swim, pairing with shorts, or layering when the temperature drops after sunset.
Top it off with the Carhartt WIP Postal Cap Iroko — a small detail that pulls an outfit together while keeping things practical. Whether you’re walking along the coast or searching for the best spot in town, a good cap is holiday uniform.
On foot, the Karhu Women’s Mestari Light Mahogany / Blanc De Blanc brings a retro running influence with modern comfort. Built for movement, they’re made for long walks, unexpected detours and those “we’ll just have a quick look” moments that turn into hours.
City Break Energy
A city break means being ready for anything. Coffee stops become gallery visits, gallery visits become late lunches, and late lunches become nights out. Your wardrobe needs to keep up.
The Damson Madder Women’s Bridget Mini Dress Green Butter Gingham brings a fresh summer attitude playful, effortless, and easy to style. Wear it with trainers for a day spent exploring or switch up the details for evenings somewhere new.
The secret to city dressing? Comfort without looking like you tried too hard. A strong pair of trainers, a reliable tee, and pieces with personality will always go further than an over-packed suitcase.
Pack Less. Wear More.
The best holiday wardrobes are built around repeat wear. Pieces that can be styled differently, mixed together, and lived in.
Think lightweight layers. Comfortable footwear. Clothes that don’t just photograph well but actually work when you’re out discovering somewhere new.
This summer, pack for the places you’re going — but more importantly, pack for everything that might happen when you get there.
