Master the art of packing with a little help from these French-inspired buys from brands such as Sézane, Soeur and Jacquemus …
A blue striped blouse and matching skirt is invaluable in your 10kg. Wear together or as separates for a striking holiday look. Blue Roni sleeveless cotton blouse, €95; www.sezane.com.

Make a statement in a minimal swimsuit by Soeur. White one-shoulder swimsuit, €245; www.souer.fr.
An enduring silhouette with a trending shade of yellow, COS’ twist-detail top is perfect for wearing with shorts during the day or with busy earrings for cocktail drinking. Yellow twist-detail top, €59, at COS.
The right pair of sunglasses – think square-shaped and 1970s-influenced – will complete the look. Tortoiseshell grey sunglasses, Port Tanger, €375; www.thefrankieshop.com.
For the ultimate woven basket, look to French It girl favourite Jacquemus. Natural The Bambola woven bucket bag, €1,090; www.jacquemus.com.
