OUR GUIDE TO CITY BREAK OUTFITS

Our Selection of Holiday Outfits Have You Covered, with Summery Pieces for Any Occasion.

We’ve all been there – you have one carry-on to cram all of your outfits into and that’s before you’ve even thought about accessories and footwear. Photos of past trips reveal some questionable ensembles with squinting eyes due to forgotten sunglasses. Well, fear not – our guide to city break outfits has got you covered. Whether you’re staying close to home or taking a quick break abroad, compromising on style whilst holidaying is a thing of the past.

Effortless Sightseeing Outfits

If you intend on seeing all that your city has to offer, plan ahead to make sure your outfits are both stylish and practical. Perfect for sunny strolls and taking in the sights, you’ll also be camera ready for any holiday snaps at a moment’s notice.

City breaks call for outfits with an extra level of chicness and a summer co-ord will do the hard work for you. A simple two-piece is a fashion-forward choice and can be mixed and matched with other items in your suitcase – a real win-win.

With summer accessories in mind, flat designer sandals are functional, fashionable, and work seamlessly from day to night. Look out for metallic shades that bring different textures and a hint of luxury to your look. Prefer to go hands-free? Top off your outfit with a designer cross-body bag for the ultimate on-the-go get-up.

Flawless Fine Dining Outifts

Whether you’re a foodie or simply enjoy the finer things in life, dressing up for your meal always makes the occasion that tiny bit more delicious. Our suggestions below will have you looking just as good as your eats – you can thank us later.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – every woman needs a designer black dress in her wardrobe. Timeless, versatile and always on-trend, the LBD is perfect for any world-class eatery and can see you through a whole evening of indulgence. Combine with statement jewellery and bold lipstick for an iconic statement look, and be sure to have a designer clutch in tow for that flawless finishing touch.

Dive In with Designer Swimwear

Just because you’re in the city doesn’t mean you can’t dress for the beach, or the pool, at least. If you’re lucky enough to be in a hotel with a pool or have the opportunity to take a dip nearby, your outfit needs to be on point. To keep packing to a minimum, choose one or two of your favourite swimwear pieces and don’t forget to accessorise – remember, less is more.

Whether you’re taking a dip or topping up your tan, a city break calls for an element of glamour. Think high-leg swimsuits paired with oversized sunglasses and a statement sun hat. Choosing a one-piece that complements other items in your holiday wardrobe will also allow you to wear swimwear as daywear if you feel inspired to do so.

Nine City Break Outfit Essentials

If you’re still feeling the pre-packing fear ahead of your travels, don’t fret. The nine items below will see you stylishly through any city break – even if you forget everything else.

1. Sunglasses – You don’t want to be caught off guard on sunny days, so make sure your eyewear game is on point. Opt for classic aviators or up the glam with cat-eye frames for fool-proof accessorising.

2. Trainers – Whether you’re visiting museums or going for a low-key lunch, nothing beats a pair of timeless trainers for comfort and style.

3. Shorts – If you’re travelling to warmer climes, keep things cool and comfortable with a pair of designer shorts.

4. Sandals – Sun-soaked city breaks call for cool dressing from head to toe and a pair of designer sandals will be your best friend.

5. Cross-body bag – No one wants to be dropping their Americano as they board the Paris Métro, do they? Keep things easy and hands-free with this lifesaver.

6. White shirt – Timeless and perfect for dressing up or down, every traveller should go equipped with this wardrobe staple. Go oversized for a poolside coverup, too.

7. Blazer – Great for smart-casual evenings or an extra layer when exploring your surroundings, you can’t go wrong with a blazer. Choose a hue that complements the rest of your wardrobe for an element of mix and match.

8. Tote bag – Perfect for picking up some local delicacies, a large tote bag will provide enough room to store an array of goodies to keep you going on the move.

9. Hat – From oversized straw pieces to a sleek baseball cap, packing a hat for your city break will top any outfit off in style.
