Holidays are on the horizon. But before we go anywhere, the tactical task of packing the perfect carry-on suitcase arises. The key to a winning compact, practical and versatile holiday wardrobe? Making sure each item multi-tasks – a dress you can wear not only to breakfast but also to dinner. Take a beach-to-bar cover-up that can be worn with a swimsuit or as a wrap over a plain T-shirt dress or white tank top. Ditch the heels, opt for flat sandals or pretty espadrilles instead and one pair of trainers if necessary. And make sure to take some simple summer hoop earrings – this season’s must-have accessory. On arrival at your location always unpack as soon as possible and hang clothes to release any creases.
