WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: I might be one of the only people who find travelling in jeans comfortable. I always look for styles with stretch to make sitting in them for prolonged periods less of a thought, but for an under-two-hour flight, they’re my go-to. I wore them with a blazer in a hue that I knew would work with the rest of my outfits if I needed an extra layer as well as a perfectly weighted Breton stripe top from Warehouse. I also wore this exact outfit on the last day before heading home, so it actually got two wears.
Agolde jeans are an influencer and editor favourite—I love the faded wash on this pair.
I never travel in anything other than Superga trainers.

WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: I knew the temperature was going to be soaring on my first day in Paris, so I packed accordingly. This dress arrived the day before we left, and I’m so glad it did. It’s a little on the big side, so I’d recommend sizing down. Finished with tan accessories and my pride and joy, my new Loewe Cubi bag, this just might be my new favourite summer outfit.
I always end up losing or breaking my sunglasses, so I tend to opt for frugal pairs. These, however, look anything but cheap.
I’ve had my tan Zara sliders for over four years now, but don’t worry—the brand reissues them every summer.

WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: I’m all about easy outfit solutions, and when I don’t fancy wearing a dress (which, admittedly, is pretty seldom), jumpsuits are my next port of call. I’d had my eye on this Reformation number for a while, and it was ideal for clocking up my step count on day two, as it’s so unrestricting to move in. I was able to take my blazer for another spin, and instead of wearing my tan accessories for a second day in a row, I switched over to black.
This was small enough to stash in my hand luggage. I used it to house things like my charger and jewellery.
Be it at home or on holiday, I live in these sandals.

WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: I’ve always been a fan of the waistcoat trend that’s suddenly everywhere once again, but one thing my wardrobe was lacking was a matching waistcoat-and-trouser set. The co-ord I’m photographed in above is from ASOS but has consequently sold out since I bought it a few months ago. If I were to invest in another, it would be this expensive-looking pairing from H&M. I decided to go for a monochromatic look with cream sandals and my Loewe bag.
I always have my trousers tailored so that they end up sitting on the ankle.
I usually get blisters with new sandals, but these were incredibly comfortable from the word go. The soles are also slightly padded, which makes them ideal for walking around the city in.

WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: My plan was to wear whatever I’d worn during the day for nighttime too, but this silk dress from Réalisation took up next to no room in my luggage, so I thought I’d take it just in case. I ended up wearing it for the evening on the day I wore my COS jumpsuit but only because the restaurant we’d booked was a stone’s throw from the hotel we were staying in. Sticking with the same bag and shoes as I wore earlier in the day, one thing I did add was some extra gold jewellery for after-dark appeal.
I get so many compliments on this dress every time I wear it.
I don’t know what it is about these sandals, but they have the power to make every outfit you wear with them look cooler.
