What to pack for your summer holiday?

Packing for a holiday can be stressful. In most cases, we end up overpacking for every eventuality. Well, it’s time to stop! If you’re unsure of exactly what to pack for your summer holiday, then you’re in the right place because we’ve listed the wardrobe must-haves when it comes to styling endless summer outfits.

The Suitcase

First thing that everyone needs is a reliable suitcase. Whether you’re going on a city break, a week/fortnight away, or travelling the globe, a suitcase is a must-have item on your men’s holiday packing list. For those weekend breaks, hand luggage or weekender bags are perfect. If you’re going for more than a week abroad, opt for medium suitcases or large suitcases. Top tip: make sure to pack efficiently if you want to avoid going over your baggage allowance. Don’t worry, our next section will assist you with this.

Crisp White Trainers

The classic crisp white trainer is that reliable shoe that makes every outfit pop. If you’re brave, go all white, but for those who don’t want a bright white sneaker, slip on an off-white number as an alternative!

Pop On Some Sunnies

Pop on a new pair of sunglasses as a stylish finishing touch to your summer looks. Try experimenting with different colours, prints and shapes from rounded to classic aviators.

Printed Shirt Season

The perfect summer holiday shirts DO exist. The printed shirt has become a staple look for any mens summer clothes outfits. This versatile item can be worn open and layered over your favourite tee, or buttoned up and tucked into some smart chinos, perfect for balmy evening parties.

The Trusty Hoodie

Don’t forget about your layers. A black hoodie is the comfort item we all reach for, but as this versatile piece grows in popularity fill your wardrobe with a range of different on-trend hoodies featuring mixed media, colours and prints!

Summer Hats

Light-Wash Jeans

It may seem a bit obvious, but what’s a successful summer checklist without a pair of trusty light-wash denim jeanslight-wash denim jeans? Now is the perfect time to sport this sun-bleached style denim, that’ll complement a colourful top half!

Shorts Season

It’s the only time of year you can get away with wearing shorts, so make sure you take advantage of the sunshine! Usually seen as a more casual item, shorts can also be worn as a smarter look. Why not try a light brown men’s chino shorts with a navy shirt?

The ‘Man’ Bag

Your Go-To Jumper
