Because hand luggage is the devil.
Whether it's a last-minute romantic trip to Kefalonia or a raucous hen-do in Barcelona with your BFFs, packing for a weekend break can be a headache (and that's before you've had three rounds of G&Ts on the beach). As a result, we've rounded up your go-to weekend getaway essentials so all you have to do is enjoy the sun*.
*You can thank us in Margaritas.
Whether it's the shoes of Cornwall or Ibiza's Cala d'Hort, there's nothing better than catching the rays on the golden sands this summer. Keep your suitcase light by packing statement, colourful pieces (dresses, sandals, playsuits), oversized kaftans and pom-pom e-v-e-r-y-thing.
A two-hour flight to Cannes? A pitstop in the Amalfi Coast? A day in the Cote d'Azur?
When it comes to dressing for the coast, it's essential to pack outfits that transition easily from day to night with the help of oversized earrings and sparkly evening bags. Swap heels for flats and add glamour with colours, chiffon and patterns.
