The Chic 10-Piece Holiday Capsule You Easily Can Fit Into a Carry-On

@spicy.mayoStyle Notes: There's no end to the holiday looks a white shirt will slot into. Seriously. Treat it as a bikini cover-up during the day, an added layer in the evening, or knot it at the waist and pair it with shorts for a stint of sightseeing.
It's not cheap, but you'll never need to buy another white shirt again.

@jullie.jeineStyle Notes: If your packing space is limited, try not to be tempted by the pretty crochet and floral-printed swimwear hitting your inbox. A fuss-free triangle bikini or a monochrome one-piece will serve you best for a quick coastal getaway.
This moss green shade will go with all your neutrals.

@jeannine.roxasStyle Notes: When selecting your holiday dresses, prioritise styles you'll be happy wearing more than once. Keep your white shirt on hand to layer on top if the temperature dips.
Every time I see this dress on Instagram, I want it a little bit more.

@marina_torresStyle Notes: Linen shorts are to summer what coats are to winter. An essential. I promise, once you find a pair that fits neatly at the waist and billows out into a roomy leg, you won't want to take them off.
Scrunch these up and they'll occupy minimal space in your suitcase.

@taffymsipaStyle Notes: Humour me while I drive home just how handy a basic tank top is. You can wear it over a bikini with your linen shorts, tucked into wide-leg trousers or a denim skirt (more on both below), layered under your white shirt, lifted with red lipstick for a night out... the list goes on.
It makes me so happy when brands update basics with a fresh detail; in this case, the high V-neckline.

@kimturkington_Style Notes: Wide-leg trousers, ideally in cotton or linen, are an influencer favourite this season. But they're also incredibly timeless—probably due to their comfort and versatility.
These look comfortable enough to wear in the heat for hours on end.

@daniellejinaduStyle Notes: With so many sleek sandals out there, it's easy to jump on board with the minimal aesthetic. Get yourself a hardwearing leather (or vegan leather) pair that you can comfortably walk in for hours and your feet will thank you.

@francescasaffariStyle Notes: I always like to have something denim in my suitcase to ground my outfits. If I'm headed somewhere with a cooler climate, I'll pack jeans, but otherwise, a denim skirt or shorts do the job nicely.

@bubblyaquariusStyle Notes: You know what it's like; when on holiday, a simple stroll around town seems to necessitate a zombie-apocalypse-like supply of equipment. Suncream, a good book, sunglasses, a water bottle—all these things quickly fill up your bag, and a nifty cross-body just won't cut it. Instead, a roomy tote will double as both a carry-on and a beach bag.

@emmalegerStyle Notes: The jeans-and-a-nice-top formula works wherever you are in the world. Bring an elevated bardot, halterneck or silk blouse on your travels to pull out for fancier meals.
This looks so premium, you'd never guess it's from the high street.
