The Ultimate Travel Capsule Collection

If you’re tired of wondering whether your checked bags will arrive in the same destination you are then it’s time to master the sacred art of travelling light. Believe it or not you can travel for a full week with only a carry-on (!!!). The key is to select pieces that you can mix and match in multiple ways, with each piece doing double or even triple duty. Today I show you that you only need 7 articles of clothing, 3 pairs of shoes and 3 bags for your next summer holiday and some of my fav ways to style them.

JUMPSUIT + CROSSBODY BAG + SANDAL

This jumpsuit is made from a fabric called Tencel is not only sustainable, but will keep you cool and (bonus points) is so lightweight it will hardly take up valuable real estate in your suitcase. A crossbody is an essential for travel since it keeps all your necessities close while keeping your hands free for your camera and coffee.

DRESS + DENIM JACKET + TOTE + SNEAKER

A denim jacket in a neutral colour is super versatile and is perfect for chilly temps in the airplane cabin or for cooler evenings out. This slip style dress is a polyester blend so you can take it straight from the suitcase wrinkle free. Slide on sneakers are not only elevated in all-white, but they make going through airport security a breeze.
