Essentials for a Weekend City Break
For a stylish city break, pack versatile essentials that will see you through day and night.
The Right Bag
Opt for a lightweight carry-on that fits everything you need for a weekend. A leather duffel or weekender bag from brands like Mulberry or Ted Baker will do nicely.
Key Wardrobe Staples
Pack a casual blazer, white button-down shirt, dark wash jeans, and loafers or brogues. Add a stylish coat like a camel overcoat for chillier evenings. Don’t forget a trusty scarf! For nights out, include a patterned shirt, slim trousers, and dress shoes.
Keep it Minimal
Limit yourself to one outfit per day to avoid overpacking. Mix and match pieces for maximum wear. Roll clothes to save space and prevent wrinkles.
The Little Details
Don’t forget underwear, socks, pajamas, a belt, and any accessories. Add a watch, pocket square, sunglasses, and a versatile bag like a messenger or laptop bag. Toiletries are a must, so bring a Dopp kit with the essentials.
With this stylish and minimal packing list, you’ll breeze through your city break looking polished from morning meetings to evening drinks, all without the hassle of an overstuffed suitcase. Now go have an amazing trip!
Packing for a Beach Holiday: Swimwear and Resort Wear From Mr Porter
Packing for a beach getaway? No holiday is complete without the essentials. So grab your sunglasses and get ready for sun, sand, and stylish swimwear from Mr Porter.
Swimsuits for Every Style
Whether you prefer board shorts or budgie smugglers (-), Mr Porter has you covered. Go for patterned swim shorts in eye-catching prints like palm leaves or geometric shapes for making a splash poolside. Prefer something more minimal? Sleek, tailored swim briefs in block colors are a timeless choice. And for maximum comfort, mid-length swim shorts are a winning option.
Lightweight Shirts and Shorts for the Beach and Beyond
Toss a few breezy shirts and casual shorts in your case for slipping on over swimwear or wearing around the resort. Linen and cotton are natural, breathable fabrics ideal for hot weather. An oversized shirt can double as a beach cover-up, while tailored chino shorts in khaki, navy, or white pair well with almost any top.
The Finishing Touches
Don’t forget sandals, a beach towel, a hat, and sunscreen for fun in the sun. For evenings, a simple outfit of shorts, a shirt, and loafers will take you from the beach to the bar in stylish comfort. Sunglasses, a watch, and other subtle accessories complete the relaxed yet refined look.
With versatile essentials and a few statement pieces from Mr Porter, you’ll be all set for a fashionable beach getaway. Now go catch some waves!
Business Travel Made Easy: Smart Pieces for Work Trips
Business travel means packing efficiently while still looking sharp. Here are some essentials to throw in your bag for work trips:
The Perfect Blazer
A lightweight blazer is ideal for meetings, dinners out, and everything in between. Look for a slim, tailored cut in a solid color like navy, charcoal grey, or khaki. A blazer dresses up trousers and a button-down shirt but also works with jeans for a more casual vibe.
Crisp Button-Down Shirts
Pack a couple of well-fitting button-down shirts in solid colors or simple patterns. A shirt in Egyptian cotton or fine twill fabric will stay wrinkle-free. Make sure to include a white shirt—it’s a classic that works with everything.
High-Quality Trousers
For trousers, choose wool slacks or chinos in navy, grey or khaki. Their slightly textured, tailored look transitions easily from day to night. Cotton trousers or jeans can also work for more casual meetings or events.
A Leather Briefcase
Swap your regular work bag for a stylish leather briefcase. It’s the perfect finishing touch to your business attire and has compartments to keep important documents organized. Look for one large enough to hold your essentials but still light enough to carry.
Accessories
Don’t forget a tie, pocket square, watch, and belt to complete your looks. Pack a pair of dress shoes and possibly loafers or Chelsea boots too, depending on your itinerary.
With versatile, high-quality pieces in complementary colors, you’ll always be ready for any business situation. Traveling in style is easy when you pack like a minimalist pro. Have a great trip!
