CITY BREAK
Summer in the city bustles with heady nights and sunny day-time adventures, so here’s what to pack for the perfect stylish balance.
Menswear
European cities buzz with the promise of foodie delights by day and low-lit romantic bars by night so you’ll need a sophisticated balance of smart and casual looks. Linen is the perfect hot-weather fabric so check out the stunning neutral-tone shirts and polos by Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, paired with a relaxed tailored jacket by MOSS, and contemporary sandals from Clarks.
Womenswear
Perfect your city-break wardrobe with liberal amounts of sophistication and effortless day/night looks. While bold maxi dresses by M&S can take you from the beach to the bar (we’re loving the subtle luxury vibe right now), understated basics such as Joules’ white vests and tees sort out the everyday, paired with relaxed tailoring. Round off the look with strappy sandals by Carvela and a floppy sun hat for protection from the sun (and the paparazzi, of course).
Kidswear
There’s no better way to kindle your kids’ curiosity for the world than a special travel opportunity. New tastes and experiences call for a getaway wardrobe that’s cool and comfortable, so look out for statement T-shirts by Weekend Offender and adidas, as well as the cutest beachwear by White Stuff. Floral dresses from Joules and M&S make them feel special, and they’ll love smartening up for dinner with a shirt by Eden.
Luggage
City breaks call for lightweight luggage to take the stress out of travelling, and so a sturdy spinner by M&S strikes the perfect balance of utility and sophistication. But buzzing around a city is also the domain of the weekender holdall, with stunning suede and canvas styles offered by Osprey and Radley. Vans statement tote bags are essential kit too, being both stylish and indispensable, whatever your outfit.
