Everything we are packing for Euro summer

Escaping a Brisbane Winter for a little Euro Summer? Yes please!

To help you create your perfect holiday capsule wardrobe, we have put together our best tried-and-tested outfits if you are packing up and heading for the sunshine. Remember, holidays are for having fun, so don’t be afraid to experiment with new trends and pops of colour. To ensure longevity in your holiday capsule wardrobe long after you get home, opt for trends that offer versatility, rather than fleeting styles. Blend the trendier pieces with more classic options to keep your looks feeling current but still timeless.

These are our four must-pack outfits for your balmy getaway:

Bold Traveller

When it comes to summer packing, pay close attention to your fabrics. It’s not all about wearing less when it’s hot, but instead, choose lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen to stay cool but stylish. This Seed Heritage cobalt blue linen set will be your best friend all summer. Worn separately or together, this set offers endless styling opportunities. Paired with a chic brown leather loafer and luxe carry-on, you’ll fit right into the Italian vibe.

A suitcase staple during the warmer months is a straw basket bag. The classic bucket bag accessory can be worn to the beach or for a stroll through the city – even dress it up with some heels to go to dinner or drinks. A roomy basket bag can hold all of your essentials, from passport to holiday read, beach towel to purse, making it the perfect accessory for both day and night.

Palma Nights

This Seed Heritage brown maxi dress will offer endless styling options for any time of the day. A classic sundress is the ideal one-and-done item, as you don’t have to put too much thought into it to instantly look put together. Wear it with flats in the daytime, then dress it up easily for the evening with heels and bold jewels.

Pops of red are everywhere, a trend so easy to incorporate into a fun Euro Summer wardrobe. Mix iconic shades, like red, with classic neutrals. It’s the easiest way to start incorporating more colour into your wardrobe. Plan to dress in layers, one of the easiest ways to make your outfit more fun and versatile for whatever the weather throws at you, this Seed Heritage bright red cardigan is our must-have light layer that is perfect for transitioning through cold airports.

A good scarf is the best summer hack – tie it as a top, bag accessory or in your hair – a multipurpose piece that adds a bit of fun and saves space in your suitcase, too.

European Riviera

Comfort and style sync beautifully in a wide-leg trouser and shirt co-ord. The pieces can be worn as separate beach cover-ups or together as a chic evening outfit. Summer trousers also don’t always have to mean white linen, inject some fun into your holiday wardrobe with a printed pair from Sheike.

Euro Summer style is synonymous with neutral tones, stripes and bold accessories, so this matching set ticks all the boxes.

Monochrome Moments

A classic pair of black sunglasses from OPSM have the power to instantly elevate any fit and will work with any look. These satin cargo pants from Sheike will offer endless versatility and comfort for a long travel day, hours of sightseeing around the city, or dressed up for evening drinks. Hot tip: hang up your satin pants in the bathroom before a steamy shower and all those creases will fade away!

A Euro Summer essential, the chunky sandal, offers style and all-day walkable comfort – the key is to choose a pair of sandals that look equally chic on the beach and in a bar.

These holidays, don’t be afraid to have fun. Summer calls for bold accessories and pops of colour. Stack bangles with long flowing maxi dresses, add oversized sunglasses to a neutral look, and venture into more feminine fabrics such as satin.

Remember, the key to surviving a hot Euro Summer is comfort. If you’re comfortable, you’ll naturally look more chic and more confident. Before you leave home, have an at-home styling session and play around with putting new outfits together, and finding a comfortable capsule. Build your outfits around your planned events, and take pictures of your outfits on your phone, so you know exactly what to wear.

Bon Voyage!
