Packing for a weekend getaway is an art, and our fashion team is here to share their secrets! 🧳✨
Lu Hough, our Fashion & Creative Director, is off to the Cotswolds for a countryside escape. Her strategy? Less is more! She opts for a versatile COS jacket, effortlessly paired with well-cut jeans and a cotton tee. But here's where it gets interesting: she layers with a Yaitte wool shirt for texture and a chunky cashmere knit for warmth. A camel scarf and Ray-Ban Wayfarers complete her chic, practical look.
Next up, Nana Acheampong, Fashion Broadcaster & Editor, is jetting off to sunny Marrakesh. Her packing mantra? Co-ords! She swears by the Kìléntár skirt and top combo, offering multiple outfit options. A versatile swimsuit doubles as a bodysuit, and she pairs it with wide-leg trousers for a stylish post-pool look. Comfortable sandals, oversized sunglasses, and a basket bag are her must-haves for exploring the city.
Florence Eyres, Senior Shopping Editor, is Paris-bound for a long weekend. She's all about neutral, mix-and-match pieces. Her packing list includes a pair of Zara loafers, a small-heeled slingback, and a variety of jackets: a suede blouson from M&S, a wool cape from H&M, and a round-collar blazer from Malina. She also packs versatile trousers, ensuring she's ready for any Parisian adventure.
Sapna Rao, Fashion & Beauty Editor, is heading to the Alps for a snowy escape. Her packing essentials? Fun accessories! She believes cool glasses, statement boots, or a beanie can add personality to any outfit. And for a touch of drama, she suggests a feather-trimmed knit to elevate après-ski or dinner looks.
Last but not least, Reem Bot, our AI Enhanced Editor & Tastemaker, is Miami-bound. She packs polished yet comfortable pieces, like AlaĂŻa tuxedo trousers and a Givenchy asymmetric shirt. For evenings, she adds drama with sculptural accessories: a Cult Gaia clutch and matching heeled mules. She also brings the Catroux dress, her yellow CĂ©line bag, and AlaĂŻa earrings to create a truly memorable look.
