How to build a holiday capsule wardrobe

Lead Stylist, Jo, has created your holiday packing list for you! Full of reliable sunny essentials in cohesive colour palettes that can be easily mixed and matched with each other, so you're never stumped on what so wear, wherever you are in the world! 

In short, a capsule wardrobe is a selection of versatile pieces that form the basis of your outfit builds - less is more. 

While having a capsule wardrobe is incredibly efficient for everyday life, it is particularly game changing when it comes to packing for your holidays; no more trying to cram every piece of clothing you own into your 10kg hand luggage (including that top you haven't worn in 5 years but 'might need') - you'll have a select few styles that are cohesive, versatile and can be mixed and matched to create several looks.

Style notes: 

Airport to pool: Everyone knows comfort is key for a day of travelling, and our mid-length Romily Dress is the perfect companion - the ribbed cotton stretch fabric ensures a snug fit that allows ease of movement.  We all want something that can easily transition from combatting the chill of an air-conditioned plane to the warm air that hits you as you step into your new destination - the Short Tie Wrap is a lightweight layer that easily slips on and off to prepare you for all climates.

Sightseeing: The Juliette Skirt and the Soft Square Vest make the perfect colourful combination. Layer with your trusty Short Tie Wrap for when the sea breeze passes by and a pair of white trainers for comfort whilst exploring the cityscape! 

Evening Meal: The Betty Cowl gracefully drapes around the neckline to create elegant lines and a flattering fit, to add that little touch of holiday glam! Add the Hudson Jacket for when the sun disappears for a truly luxurious look. 

Evening Beach Stroll: Finish off an evening of exploring with a slow stroll along the sand. The Effie SkirtPippa Top pair perfectly for a breezy, relaxed silhouette! Pair neutrals with a pop of your favourite tropical bright for an easy holiday colour combo.
