Bank Holiday Fashion

What to pack for your long weekend escape

Bank Holiday season is here, and rather extended this year thanks to a certain royal nuptials. If you're taking advantage of the long weekends and jetting off somewhere exotic, let us take the pain out of packing with the ultimate capsule holiday wardrobe.

Just take three desirable destinations, three chic carry-ons, and a suitcase worth of stylish staples for your trip. Now all you have to do is start planning your outfits...

1. Boutique Shopping in Paris

Trawling Parisian boutiques and flea markets calls for a more relaxed style. A classic trench and faded, seventies-inspired jeans should be your staples, all teamed with casual separates.

2. Girls' Weekend in New York

For a getaway involving cocktails, cutting edge art and shopping, you need a stylish wardrobe to keep up with polished Manhattanites. Bright neons offset by simple T-shirts are the look to channel.

3. Glamour Seeking in the South of France

If you need to dress for a first-class getaway, start with Jimmy Choo’s leopard-print Terence case. Then opt for metallic hues injected with jewel tones and don’t underplay the opulent accessories.
