What The Fashion Team Pack For A Weekend Away

I’ll take any excuse to chase the sun and Marrakesh is one of my favourite places to do just that. With a short flight, I’m in a completely different climate – and it’s the perfect excuse to bring out my best summer pieces. A co-ord is always my starting point for a weekend away – two pieces, multiple outfits. I’m currently obsessed with the yellow Kìléntár skirt and top. A great swimsuit is another essential – it doubles up as a bodysuit under wide-leg trousers for post-pool plans. Lounging is a must but I love to explore too, so comfortable sandals are non-negotiable. Add oversized sunglasses and a basket bag and my Marrakesh wardrobe is complete.

I’m heading to Paris for a long weekend and packing a capsule of neutral pieces I can mix and match with ease. A loafer always feels right at this time of year – this lighter pair from Zara immediately caught my eye – plus a small heel for evenings. I’m really into jackets at the moment, so I’ll be taking some options: a light suede style from M&S, a wool cape from H&M and, for something smarter, a round-collar blazer from Malina. NA-KD is my go-to for elevated evening tops and this white draped-back style is perfect. To anchor it all, I’ll pack my two most versatile pairs of trousers – black satin and straight-leg denim. 

When packing for a snowy weekend away, the essentials include cool but interesting accessories like fun glasses and boots or a beanie for a bit of personality. Staying warm doesn’t have to look boring, so this feather trimmed knit is the perfect way to add a little drama to an aprés ski or dinner look.

I tend to pack pieces that feel polished but still easy to move in. These Alaïa tuxedo trousers make such a statement – I’d style them with Givenchy’s asymmetric poplin shirt for a look that’s sharp yet effortless. For evenings, I like switching things up with sculptural accessories: this Cult Gaia clutch and matching heeled mules add just the right amount of drama. I’ll also bring the Catroux dress for a more elevated moment, finished with my yellow Céline bag and Alaïa torsion earrings to pull everything together.
