Heading On A Euro Summer Vacay? Here’s What To Pack
As the winter chill sets in each year, we experience what can only be described as a mass exodus to chase the summer sun with a European holiday.
Despite the cool, dry temperatures here, our Instagram feeds are suddenly flooded with idyllic seaside sunsets complete with spritz’ in hand and rustic cobblestone streets bathed in a warm, golden glow.
If you’re one of the lucky few (hundreds of) people escaping the cold for a European summer, you’ll likely be facing the classic dilemma of what to pack for the holiday ahead.
In the European summer heat defaulting to warm-weather appropriate fabrics and silhouettes like flowing maxi dresses and relaxed trousers in lightweight cottons and linens is a logical choice.
Alas, logic won’t always satiate our sartorial desires. Catering to personal style and curating statement looks should also take pride of place in your limited suitcase space. So, how do you find the balance when packing for European summer?
What To Pack For A European Summer Holiday, According To Experts
Cover all bases. While it’s easy to want to pack the perfect ‘gram worthy outfit for every day of your trip, when you’re walking tens of kilometres a day, comfort will win every time. Think sneakers and sun dresses or shorts and t-shirts.
“I pack things I know make me feel good, are comfortable and that I’ll want to wear multiple times throughout the trip,” Lesleigh Jermanus, Co Founder and Creative Director at ALÉMAIS tells marie claire Australia.
Keeping to the essentials also leaves room for any potential shopping or splurging on special items.
“I’m all about mix-and-matching, curating a wardrobe of perfect basics,” Ana Escobar of LMND tells us.
“When I travel, I always look out for special pieces to bring home with me, like a sarong or unique accessory, so travelling with basics makes it easier to style my new treasures.”
