How to feel fresh and look polished during a city break escape this summer …
Looking polished and staying comfortable in the heat of a city can be a challenge. A tried-and-tested blue and white capsule wardrobe simplifies the packing process and suits most situations. It will mean that all items will work together and an expertly devised capsule collection ensures you’ll be able to create multiple outfits with just a handful of pieces. A chambray shirt will work for travel days and as a light cover-up for evenings. Wide-leg high-waisted jeans in soft denim will be comfortable and cool for gallery-hopping, lunch by the port or shopping days. Trainers are essential – city breaks often mean days where we hit 15k steps so keep your cool in this colourful Chloé pair. Don’t forget to pack a roomy tote bag, this will work day to day on your trip and will come in handy for extra luggage (allowing you to stock up on souvenirs) on the way home. Whether you’re escaping to Venice, Rome, London, Lisbon or Barcelona this summer, keep scrolling to discover our city break style ideas and capsule wardrobe edit.
