Kasia Chinery Shares Her Greece Packing List
1. The Cotton Trouser
Scout Cotton Barrel Leg Pants, £135 | Dissh
I could – and mainly do – wear a barrel-leg cotton trouser every day. I love this red pair from Australian brand DISSH, which always strikes the perfect balance between elevated and minimal just right. They're the kind of statement piece that still feels incredibly versatile. I'd style them with a fresh white vest top, simple leather sandals and a chunky beaded necklace.
2. The Woven Tote
Raffia Tote Bag, £67.90 (was £95) | ARKET
I live for a woven bag and truly believe I'll never have enough. I've had my eye on this one from ARKET for a while because it's the perfect size for carrying everything you need for both the airport and the beach. It's practical but still looks polished.
3. The Beach Dress
I love how feminine this dress from DÔEN feels. It's an easy, lightweight throw-on over a bikini but it's also pretty enough to wear straight from the beach to lunch with a pair of sandals and some jewellery. Those effortless pieces always earn the most space in my suitcase.
4. The Beaded Necklace
Obi Silver Coral Beads Necklace, £140 | Les Beads
I already own a few necklaces from Les Beads Studio and could happily keep adding to my collection. The website is such a treasure trove, so it's genuinely difficult to choose just one. A colourful beaded necklace instantly elevates even the simplest outfit and always gives my holiday looks a more playful edge.
5. The Cool Cap
Alex Eagle Sporting Club Cap, £40 | Alex Eagle
I'm militant about sun protection, so I'm always adding to my ever-growing hat collection. Alex Eagle caps fit my small head really well and come in a great selection of colours and fun slogans. They're practical, comfortable and finish off casual holiday outfits perfectly.
6. The Maxi Dress
Grace Sheer Maxi Dress, £120 | VRG GRL
This is such a fun holiday piece. I'd wear it over a bikini during the day, then add statement jewellery and sandals for dinner in the evening. The sheer finish makes it feel fashion-forward, while the neutral colour palette keeps it looking effortless rather than overdone.
7. The Woven Flat
Woven Slingback Shoes, £206.50 (were £295) | ME+EM
These woven slingbacks from ME+EM are the perfect evening holiday shoe. Comfortable enough to walk in but polished enough for dinner, I'd style them with a linen maxi skirt and a simple vest top for an understated look that still feels put together.
8. The Chic Sunnies
Rêverie Sunglasses, £370 | Miu Miu
I spotted these at the airport and couldn't get on the plane without them. I love their feminine shape and the fact they're not oversized, so they suit almost everything. A great pair of sunglasses can completely transform a look and these have become an instant favourite.
9. The Silk Skirt
This silk skirt from DÔEN is definitely an investment piece but it's one of those hardworking wardrobe staples you'll wear for years. It's perfect for mixing and matching with everything from oversized linen shirts to simple white t-shirts, making it ideal for packing light.
10. The Satin Dress
Scoop Satin Maxi Dress, £17.99 (was £28) | ASOS DESIGN
This dress is such a great find and an absolute steal for the price. It has a really flattering shape and comes in several colours but I'm especially drawn to the ice blue, which feels fresh and elegant for summer evenings. It's one of those pieces that looks far more expensive than it is.
11. The Sun Hat
A packable hat is a complete travel game-changer. Not only does it make staying sun safe so much easier but it also instantly makes any holiday outfit look more considered. I love the sculptural shapes from Avenue – they're chic, practical and easy to throw in a suitcase.
12. The Fun Shorts
Leya Plaid Cotton Shorts, £140 | Faithfull
No holiday wardrobe is complete without a pair of fun micro shorts. I love this plaid pair from Faithfull because they feel playful while still being easy to style. I'd wear them with an oversized linen shirt over a bikini during the day or a simple tank and sandals for exploring.
13. The Flattering Bikini
Printed Padded Halterneck Triangle Bikini Top, £13 | Marks & Spencer
This bikini from M&S is fun, flattering and has an incredible price point. It feels far more premium than you'd expect, with a playful design that stands out without being too trend-led. It's proof you don't have to spend a fortune to find stylish swimwear.
