Going on vacation for the holidays? Are you a chronic over-packer? Selecting outfits for a vacation miles away from home can be challenging. We’ve all been in a situation when you finally arrive at your desired destination and realize that you are caught without the right items. We planned an entire capsule wardrobe in advance to make your vacation more enjoyable and stress-free…and yes – you will be able to fit your entire week-worth wardrobe into your luggage.
HERE ARE A FEW TIPS WE’D LIKE YOU TO FOLLOW:
- THINK ABOUT YOUR ACTIVITIES YOU’LL BE DOING: If your trip involves active sightseeing, endless beach time, or a destination wedding/special event, start with packing your must-have items and then think about ways you can build from those pieces. Keeping your activities in mind first and then selecting an appropriate attire will save you from those unplanned shopping sprees throughout your vacation. That means more time to explore and enjoy than spending those unnecessary extra dollars.
- PICK A COLOUR SCHEME: Opt for neutrals with an accent colour. For example (inspired outfit 1), we went with black, white and beige basics, and added a pop of colour – blue! Neutrals go with any colour so don’t be afraid to be BOLD. What is your accent colour of the choice? We’re curious to know!
- MULTI FUNCTIONAL PIECES: Pack things that are versatile and that can be re-worn multiple times. For example, our Elastic-Waist Palazzo Pants will be so comfortable during the long flight, and they can also be dressed up for dinner with different accessories and a pair of heels.

2. Linen is our fave fabric of choice for travel! You can never go wrong with a good pair of linen pants and a classic tunic both in neutral colours. These items will give you endless styling options for many different outfits. In addition, linen is ideal for hot weather because of the coolness it provides. Warm weather clothing made of linen possess high air permeability, which allows air to flow through the fabric easily.

3. Last but not least, this outfit may be one of our favourites! We started with a pair of wide leg stripe culottes and our sweetheart neckline tank in white. This combination is so easy and comfortable, and can be styled in so many different ways. We decided to add some gold accents and a trendy geometric print scarf which completely transforms and elevates a simple outfit. In fact, this outfit won’t take so much space in your suitcase. To finish off the outfit, let’s add a pair of diamond shape earrings to support our geometric theme for this look
