Seven days, one carry-on, twelve pieces. The vacation capsule that keeps you chic from the airport to dinner — with room left for souvenirs.
The 12 pieces
- Tops (4): white tee, black tee, striped breton, one dressy blouse.
- Bottoms (3): light jeans, tailored shorts or skirt, one wide-leg trouser.
- Layers (2): denim jacket, lightweight cardigan or shawl.
- Dresses (1): one wrinkle-resistant midi that dresses up or down.
- Shoes (2): white sneakers + flat sandals. That’s it. That’s the list.
Pack smart
Roll knits, fold structured pieces, and wear your bulkiest items (jacket, sneakers) on the plane. Stick to one colour story — cream, denim and black, say — so everything mixes.
Three day-to-night formulas
1. Breton + shorts + sandals → add the blouse over as a layer for dinner. 2. Midi dress + sneakers → swap to sandals + statement earrings. 3. White tee + trousers + denim jacket → lose the jacket, add red lip.
Stylist tip: lay out every outfit and photograph it before packing. On the trip, getting dressed takes ninety seconds.
