Holiday dressing: what to pack for the sun

The art of the summer suitcase is knowing what to leave out. Here's the capsule that takes you from beach to dinner with room to spare.

A holiday capsule — dresses, cover-ups and seaside scenes

The best-dressed travellers all seem to know the same secret: pack less, but pack cleverly. A holiday wardrobe isn't about options, it's about a handful of pieces that mix, layer, and carry you from a morning by the water to a long dinner without a second thought.

Think of it as buying well, in miniature. A few considered pieces beat an overstuffed case every time, for your suitcase, and for the planet.

Building the capsule

Start with a throw-on dress that works over swimwear and again at dinner. Add elevated loungewear that looks intentional in an airport and a hotel room alike. A pair of easy sandals, one statement piece for evenings, and accessories that pull it together, that's a week, sorted.

Choose fabrics that travel: linen, soft knits, anything that shrugs off a suitcase. The less it creases, the more you'll actually wear it.
