5 evergreen items to pack (for light and glamorous travel)

The much-awaited summer holidays are approaching but another fashion drama peeps into our lives: what to pack? It's a real headache, especially when the aim is to go light, preferably backpacking. But how do you, with so little space, create all the looks for every occasion? Simple: you choose the right clothes.

Light and super glamorous suitcase with just 5 items

Between low-cost airlines that allow you to travel for a few euros with a backpack or a single hand luggage, and the little desire to lug extra-large luggage around the city in scorching temperatures, the desire to leave with the 'basics' is becoming more and more ingrained among travellers. Easy to say, and to think, too bad that when it comes time to pack, we always find ourselves having to hope that fate will help us fit everything we want to carry. Do you confirm this?

If so, then you should know that there is a way to pack intelligently, which will not only allow you to leave light, backpacking or hand luggage, but will always guarantee you glamorous looks suitable for any time of day or evening.

We have selected for you, in fact, 5 evergreen and versatile garments to put in your suitcase that, on their own, will allow you to create different outfits for every occasion: from a day at the beach to a walk in the city, passing through an aperitif at sunset and an excursion. Let's discover them together.

A light and low-cost suitcase

Can five outfits really be enough to create a holiday suitcase? Our answer is yes, as long as you also leave a little space for accessories, which are very useful for personalising looks and styles, and for shoes, which must be strictly versatile and comfortable. But what are these must-have items? Let's discover them together.

White shirt

The white shirt is a true seasonal must-have, a timeless garment that can never be missing from a woman's wardrobe or even in her suitcase. The shirt, in fact, has known many variations in recent years, some really imaginative and creative, which will allow you to create many different styles.

Not only an elegant garment par excellence, the shirt can also be used in summer. For super glamorous mix and matches. An example? You can tie it at the waist and combine it with a skirt or shorts. You can use it in the evening for a more elegant outfit, or during the day as a cover-up. You can also wear it open over a dress and use it strategically to cover yourself when the temperatures drop.

Denim shorts

Shorts are a real summer evergreen, and if they are made of denim they really make a difference. They can be worn during the day and in the evening, combined with shirts, tops and blouses, trainers, heels and flat sandals. They also look good with a swimming costume for walks on the beach.

In short, with just one item to pack you will ensure at least three or four different looks for your holiday. Not bad?

Fluttering dress

When we talk about summer, we can't help but think of dresses, the long, floaty ones that combine beauty and practicality. Here, these garments really can't be missing from your suitcase because they are perfect for every occasion. Fresh and comfortable during the day, glamorous in the evening, especially when paired with the right accessories.

Full skirt

Whether long, short or midi skirt, it doesn't matter. What is important is to always find space in your suitcase for a full skirt. In addition to being a trendy garment, in fact, the full skirt can be really strategic for the construction of our holiday looks.

It goes with everything and looks good with everything. You can wear it at the beach, perhaps under your one-piece swimming costume, or create a jaunty look with a top and trainers. And if you want a more elegant look, then team it with your white shirt.

Tops

They take up very little space and are really essential for surviving the sultriest days. We're talking about tops, in oversized or cropped versions, which are rightfully on the list of items to pack.

They can be paired with skirts and trousers and can be used to create both comfortable and cool daytime looks and more sophisticated evening outfits. The advice? Always opt for very fresh fabrics and light colours.
