The time between ‘dropping’ and ‘flopping’ requires a touch of organisation – better known as packing for your vacation!
But packing for a holiday in 2020 requires some thought and consideration to ensure you don’t miss anything out. Whether you’re staying on a superyacht, or residing in a luxury villa rental, you’ll benefit from ensuring these top items are firmly placed in your prized Gucci bag. And to help, we’ve distilled it down to the essentials for him, and for her.
Whether you’re hitting the beach, relaxing in the countryside, or heading away on an alpine adventure, there’s a few items you’ll be grateful you packed.
1. GQ or Esquire magazine
Modern living makes it hard to find the time to stay on top of the latest trends. Jetting away is however is the perfect opportunity to read up and catch up, so be sure to pack your favourite magazines.
2. Loafers
The right footwear can transform an outfit. Loafers are the perfect choice straddling between leisurewear and evening attire.
3. Tie or bow tie
There will always be an excuse to dress to impress. Don’t fall foul of not having the right outfit, always pack a tie or bow tie to look totally dapper.
4. A man bag
Oh-so chic, especially hip with a European crowd, a man bag is the must-have item in jet-set circles. Great for storing away precious items, from your iPad to your Mont Blanc pen.
5. Smart trousers
It’s an easy oversight when you’re packing shorts and jeans. However, many high-end restaurants, casinos and bars will have a dress code, and smart trousers are almost always on it.
Think you’ve got packing locked down? Be sure to include these VIP items…
1. Styling tongs
It’s the one thing you forget and one thing you always need! Go, add to your packing list now.
2. A pashmina
If there’s one item that can solve a multitude of needs, it’s the humble wrap. It can transform an outfit in seconds, add layers on a cold night, and even double-up as a face covering.
3. Mid-heels
You can never go wrong with mid-heels. The go-to choice for holiday mode, the mid-heel is the ideal shoe for casual or smart wardrobes.
4. Your journal
If you’ve been meaning to commit pen to paper, now is the time to start writing. Cathartic, strategic and can help with wellbeing too.
5. Louis Vuitton handbag
Because no outfit it complete without your Louis. Which one to pick? The easiest and most versatile to pack of course.
And then, there’s just some items for him and for her that you won’t want to miss..
1. A white shirt
The most staple of wardrobe items. Dress up for a night out, or pair-down for a romantic beachside meal. Better than packing one? Pack two.
2. Laundry bag
In most luxury villa rentals, you’ll be able to request a dry cleaning service, but you’ll be ahead of the game if you bring your own laundry bag.
3. Hand wipes
If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that handwipes are essential man-bag must haves. Stock up. You’ll need them for every step of the journey.
4. Spotify
Whether it’s for a gym workout, chilling by the pool, or getting together with friends, you’ll be grateful for your playlist as the soundtrack to your vacation.
5. Netflix login
And finally, make the most of chilled night’s in at your luxury villa rental, with a touch of Netflix and Chill. Just don’t forget the password (or to log out afterwards).
