What To Pack For A Staycation

What To Pack For A Staycation

Stylish women know a staycation means packing a few key pieces you can wear in multiple ways. From lightweight jackets to pretty blouses, Harvey Nichols has you covered – here’s everything you need to be both stylish and practical on your next UK holiday…

CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HARVEY NICHOLS

Midi Dress

Loose-fitting silhouettes will feel comfy and look chic – simply switch out trainers for heels to take them from day to night.

Pretty Blouse

From ditsy florals to denim frills, packing a pretty blouse is seldom a bad choice – layer them under a jacket with shorts for laidback look.

Denim Shorts

If you’re not into Daisy Dukes, try this season’s on-trend bermuda length – they’re just as easy to throw on with trainers and sandals as shorter pairs.

Sweats

Lockdown might be over but sweats still make a stylish off-duty look – opt for pastel shades and marl grey to ensure they feel season-appropriate.

Jackets

A lightweight jacket will prove useful to layer over dresses and blouses. Boxy denim is a classic choice, while quilted detail is big news this season.

Trainers

Sensible footwear is essential if you’re exploring a new area. As these trainers prove, comfort needn’t compromise looking chic.

Basket Bag

We say it a lot, but a good basket bag really is a summer must-have. Roomy enough to stash all your
essentials, make one of these your go-to.

Cosy Knitwear

Even when sunshine is forecast, it’s worth taking a cosy knit for cooler evenings. Neutral shades will go with everything – or make a statement with Isabel Marant’s striped design.
