What to wear according to your holiday destination
Words: Alex Woodhall
Baggage allowances can be brutally unforgiving and frustrating. As such, there’s a genuine skill to packing for a summer break. Whether it’s just a long weekend in the sun or an extended expedition abroad, planning out outfits in advance is crucial to saving space and weight on your luggage. Nobody wants to be the guy emptying out his suitcase as the queue piles up behind him. This is what to pack, no matter where in the world you’re going.

If your getaway involves the Mediterranean climes and distinguished elegance of the Riviera, make sure you arrive in an ensemble that delivers sartorial chops and suitable temperature in equal measure. Unstructured tailoring is your saviour here. Opt for a navy blazer in a more seasonal appropriate cut, the cotton construction will ensure you stay cool — in every sense of the word.
