There is nothing quite like the prospect of a summer jaunt on the horizon to revive even the most weary of spirits — and wardrobes.

While the notion of dressing for said holiday certainly sparks joy, that very same excitement can quickly evolve into overwhelm as the departure day looms near, bringing with it the inevitable rush to curate one’s suitcase — without overpacking.

That being said, editing your holiday wardrobe with an emphasis on versatility, comfort and breathable fabrics will ensure you are well-dressed throughout your trip, wherever it may lead.

Floaty dresses tend to assume prime real estate in one’s island-bound suitcase, and with good reason. Adding a long and flowing design to your arsenal enables breezy day to soirée dressing, easily accessorized with a spacious woven tote to carry your essentials from the beach to the bar and beyond.

If a visit to a bustling metropolis brimming with galleries, boutiques and culture is on the cards, embrace the power of a floaty mini dress for effortless cool with a feminine edge. An elevated ensemble for day or night, team it with a pair of sandals — flat or heeled — then add a statement handbag and subtle jewellery to complete the look.

Tempting as it is to pack little more than a basket bag full of bikinis, a statement set rarely goes astray when poolside soirées are on the agenda. Bringing an urban cool to your vacation style, simply add sunglasses and then seamlessly transition to after five territory with a hint of jewellery to complete the look.

Whether you are retreating to Tuscany’s rolling hills or sampling the rosé of Provence’s best vineyards, the key to looks primed for countryside frolicing is to keep comfort in mind. Consider a sweeping denim skirt paired with a cosy sweater for ease of wear. Finish with a simple leather shoulder bag to keep your hands free, and a pair of classic sneakers to leisurely wander your surrounds as you take in the scenery.
