WHAT TO PACK FOR A BEACH AND CITY BREAK

Jessica Harris | July 2024

n the hope for a little respite. Whether you're taking to the sandy beaches of the Med or enjoying the architecture of a city scape, Westfield London has everything you need to look chic and stylish.

As relaxing as it is to indulge in a horizontal holiday, being comfortable and put-together on the beach can go hand-in-hand. Think crochet dresses, wide-brim hats, elegant statement jewellery pieces and polished sandals to take you from the beach to the bar with ease. White linen shirt and short sets will always be a holiday staple and a pair of luxury sunglasses will elevate even the most basic of ensembles.

Exploring the streets of some of the world's most beautiful cities can be a rich and fulfilling way to spend the holidays but it also calls for a very specific packing list. Comfort is key for when the temperatures rise and the step count hits an all-time high. If you don't want to go down the trainers route, a flat sandal in a neutral colourway can be perfect for wandering between towns and villages with Aperol stops in-between. Packing light and airy fabrics like cotton and linen will be a saving grace while a chic tote bag will ensure you bring all of your essentials for the day.
