Whilst you might not be a fan of the capsule wardrobe for daily dressing, this could be key when it comes to saving space in your suitcase.

Try to keep your shoe and jacket collection light and aim to style the same item multiple times with each of your outfits if possible.

Same goes with bags, keep it neutral to suit all your holiday outfits or opt for a bold and bright statement piece that’ll have all eyes on you.

Here are some of our top picks onsite to get you started!

 

Basics

Off-duty looks that you can restyle effortlessly? It’s a yes from us.

Neutrals

Maybe you want to keep your outfits neutral or on the same colour palette to make more space for statement accessories.

Effortless denim 

Denim that you can rewear with multiple outfits is a great idea, especially for weekend trips.

Accessories

As we said, keep your accessories and footwear simple to allow extra space for full ‘fits.

Packing a additional tote bag also means you have a extra bag justtttt incase you do go over the weight limit on the way home.

When it comes to packing your well thought out looks actually into your case, the classic fold or roll question is bound to have you thinking.

Whilst rolling can feel easier and make for less creases, it’s completely up to you!

Packing cubes are also a great option if wanting to separate your outfits into ready-to-wear looks (or even just separate you swim, underwear, clothes or shoes).

If packing a wholeeee load of looks, vacum bags could also be a gamechanger when it comes to suitcase space.

However you prefer to pack, just ensure you weigh your case before heading to the airport. Paying for those extra KG is never a vibe.

Keep your liquids handy – you most definitely do not want to be rummaging through your stunningly folded clothes in airport security.

Add these to your case last and make them super accessible.

Grab and go is the vibe!

Remember you can switch out some liquids for solids instead, shampoo bars, soap and brow products – we’re mainly looking at you.

Also be sure to avoid taking any full size products, instead decant them into 100ml or less bottles.
