You've only gone and done it; planned a holiday, be it abroad or on home soil. You're excited right? You need this break. You deserve this break. So, in the spirit of making your holiday as enjoyable as possible from the word "go", I'm here to help.
Putting together a sunny holiday packing list might sound tiresome, but for a stress-free vacay, you've got to do it. A tried-and-tested formula of interchangeable pieces that actually work (rather than remaining in a creased pile at the bottom of your case) and are effortless will put the pleasure into packing.
There are so many decisions to make on what to put on your travel outfit checklist. For example, which shoes should you pack? What accessories are the best to take?
So I canvassed the entireBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing team to create the ultimate packing edit—from dresses that will work across a variety of occasions to the all-important jeans that you can fly and sightsee in. Debating over that jumper for the flight? Do it. Ditto for the travel bag that will double up as a beach bag. Every item in this guide is versatile enough to be worn more than once (meaning that if you choose to invest in some high-end pieces, you needn't feel guilty). Even handier is the graphic we've created so you can refer back to it as you assemble your wares and accessories for the big event. Bon voyage!
