Euro summer calling your name? Time to get vacay-ready!
June through to August is prime time for Euro trips and if you and your crew are booked and ready, the next thing on your to-do list is outfit planning.
To save you some time (and stress) we’ve put together the ultimate guide on what to wear in Europe. Ready to create the perfect vacay suitcase?
Must Haves For Travelling To Europe
You’ve got limited space, so make EVERY item count.
No packing the skirt you haven’t worn in 6 months because you might want to wear it out to dinner. Skip the maybes and opt for outfit essentials you know you’ll reach for.
Here are a few key questions that will help you decide:
Does the item match with more than one style in your suitcase?
Can you see yourself wearing this item for more than one day or one occasion? Eg. dinner, sightseeing, adventuring.
Is it summer-friendly? Always choose the more breathable, lightweight option. Linen is our current fave!
Tops For Europe
Versatile tops you can wear day-to-night will be a game changer when you’re rushing around Europe with a million things on your itinerary.
Our styling team has chosen a few of our fave tops (find them below). We’ve only included styles that tick all of our Euro summer boxes.
Remember when we said to only pick essential pieces? It’s time to break the rules.
If you’re planning some iconic moments in locations that you might never see again - go all out. That standout dress you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to wear? Find a spot for it in your suitcase!
Find a dress to match the vibes and make sure you get the perfect outfit pic.
The best travel pants and bottoms are breathable, versatile, and fun.
Right now, it’s all about the little details. Think lace trims, frills, and playful patterns like stripes and animal print. Perfect for your Euro summer party plans.
Can’t leave for your Euro summer trip without swimwear and accessories! If you plan to spend your days relaxing by the ocean in Greece or by the pool in Spain, you’ll be needing some super cute swimwear to get you through. We’re loving eye-catching shades and prints this season, the brighter the better!
If you need to quickly take your look from cute to chic, accessorizing is your bff. With a packed schedule and places to be, spending hours styling a look is not an option. Bring some staple accessories with you and use these to elevate your looks. This step takes such little effort but makes SUCH a difference. Leaving space in your suitcase for them is a must.
Pro tip: map out your vacay suitcase based on which locations you’re visiting. While this might sound a little extra, this will make your life so much easier.
Picture this, you’ve just spent 3 days in Italy, you’re exhausted, you have an entire day scheduled for Greece and rummaging through your suitcase to find an outfit is the LAST thing you want to do. But then you remember, you have an outfit already set aside for this destination…love this for you.
Greece Outfits
Deciding what to wear in Greece? Vibrant tones and summer prints are the vibe. Think flowy florals in yellows, pinks and blues. If you have a break from partying by the pool and need something casual for your day trips, a breathable blouse is a super cute option!
Italy Outfits
No doubt you’ll be spending some time wining and dining in Italy. For this destination, the vibe is effortless. Think long maxi dresses and statement tops.
Packing tip: pack your long skirts and dresses by rolling them up. You’ll avoid creases that you would normally get from folding and save room too!
Spain Outfits
The place to indulge in the finer things. Spain-dressing is playful, fun and flirty. Think bright shades, matching sets and statement accessories.
You’ll likely be spending your days enjoying tapas by the bar and taking a dip in the pool in between.
South Of France Outfits
The ultimate cool girl destination. If the South of France is on your bucket list, make sure to pack something elevated and effortless. Lace dresses, feminine silhouettes and flowy fabrics is the vibe here.
Copenhagen Outfits
Copenhagen style, a vibe we know and love.
Cute patterns, textures and colours, this is the time to experiment with fun looks you might not try back home! Copenhagen might be filled with a little more activities than the other destinations - opt for breathable blouses and pants!
We asked our PR Representative, Gabby, to give us her best tips on packing for Euro summer (she’s a pro). Here’s what she said!
“I spent 4 weeks in Europe and there were a few things that made my life so much easier. Before I left, I bought some packing cubes, which are little compartments that go in your suitcase to separate clothes. I didn’t have to rummage through my suitcase anytime I wanted something! I also planned my outfits in advance (I use the notes app on my phone and take photos of everything so I have outfits ready to go when needed). Less is more, you don't need as much as you think you need - trust me, lugging a 25kg suitcase around Europe is not fun! Pack pieces that go with multiple outfits (things that go together, so you have double the amount of fits). Lastly, make sure to bring a comfy pair of sneakers that won't give you blisters after walking on cobblestone streets all day.”
One last tip: don’t leave it to the last minute. When you’re stressing the night before about getting to the airport on time, you’ll be grateful your suitcase is packed and ready to go. No more googling “how to pack for Europe” 24 hours before your flight!
