If you plan your wardrobe out in advance, you are far less likely to overpack or forget a key wardrobe item behind. We have put together our favourite top 10 must have's...

1. THE MAXI-DRESS

They're flattering on all shapes, create beautiful silhouettes and have a beachy, bohemian vibe to them. Nothing beats a 'throw and go' maxi dress when you're on holiday. Wear on it's own with wedges for an evening meal or, layer with a T-shirt underneath and a pair of trainers for a day-time look.

2. BASICS

Everyone should have a favourite white tee and a pair of jeans that fits perfectly. They are the go-to classic pieces that can be re-worn again and again. These are 'must pack' items.

3. THE JUMPSUIT

Comfy jumpsuits for the perfect one-and-done vacation outfit. Sneaker up during the day or add a bit of romance with a healed sandal & minimal jewellery pieces.

4. STRAW BAG

The versatile straw bag has fast become a coveted item yet again this summer, as wearable in the city with jeans as it is on the beach.

5. THE OVERSIZED SHIRT

You may think anything long-sleeved is a no-go, but a shirt could be perfect to keep you covered up from the hot sun or during an evening chill. It also looks great tied around the waist, or undone over denim shorts.

6. THE LITTLE BLACK BIKINI

The LBB gives a flattering shape to all body types. Not kidding! Just like a your Little Black Dress they are known for their versatility because they are slimming but give you curves where you need them to be. With so many amazing cuts and styles a LBB is of course timeless!

7. WRAP DRESS

The secret to the wrap dress is it fits and falls where it needs to - it hangs relaxed around the shoulders and chest, while drawing in at the stomach and flowing off again on the legs. It's one of our fav's for the day or jazz it up for evening.

8. SANDAL, SNEAKER & THE EASY SLIDE

Sneakers are just so comfortable and they work with almost everything from jeans to dresses. It’s nice to have a heeled sandal for the warmer months, something open and airy that can transition into the evenings. The 'Easy Slide', the everyday shoe that fits most of your wardrobe.

9. DENIM SHORTS

A staple denim short needs to be added to your luggage. Options are endless - cool acid wash throughout, distressed fibres and 5 pocket detailing. Team with a cami or tie up top and white sneakers. You'll be wearing these more than once!

10. SUNGLASSES

Pick up a stylish pair of shades to match your outfits and you’ll look a whole lot more fashionable, while being sun smart at the same time - of course.
