The Europe Summer Packing List
From Santorini to Sorrento – and everywhere in between – this is what to pack for the ultimate guide to European summer style.
Under the Tuscan sun
Ciao bella! Touching down in Italy is the perfect excuse to pack floating floral pieces and airy maxi silhouettes. Pick shades of pink if you’re a guest at a destination wedding this summer and show favour for the Barbiecore fever that has swept us all up. Cobblestone streets and beaches lined with deck chairs make the best backdrops for showing off your favourite looks.
parisian nights
A little black dress is the perfect choice for a romantic rendezvous in the city of love. Cascading ruffles, sheer detailing and cut-out silhouettes bring a fresh twist to classic pieces. And while linen is always lovely, velvet and satin finishes promise to up the ante for trips to Paris. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in the atmosphere, these styles are c'est magnifique.
On Island Time
If the azure waters of the Greek Islands are calling your name, we don’t blame you. For days spent at beach clubs in Santorini to nights that turn into daybreak on Mykonos, a splash of colour will ignite the mood of merriment. Don’t be afraid to pack pops of purple and pink or try your hand at tie-dye pieces. Choose halter necklines to lean into trending ‘90s silhouettes or embrace feminine whimsy with tiered ruffled skirts and statement puffed sleeves.
Riviera chic
The South of France is a bucket list destination for a reason. From exploring the lavender fields of Provence to sipping glasses of crisp rosé and rolling the dice in Monaco, this corner of the world is a playground for glamour. Choose elegant two-piece sets that can be mixed and matched with core elements of your capsule wardrobe. Pair wide-leg pants and a coordinating button down shirt with swimwear by day, adding a pair of sleek heeled sandals and shimmering jewellery for evening style.
