What to wear on your next city break - and how to pack it.
City breaks are the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure – and here at Izabel London, we think your holiday outfit checklist should match. Not sure what to pack? Don’t worry – we’ve put together a useful packing guide to help with outfits, accessories and must-haves.
The trick to dressing for a city break is to keep every outfit comfortable. If you’re in for long walks and train rides, comfy trousers, relaxed tops and cosy layers are a must. Jumpsuits and dresses make easy-peasy outfits from 9am to 9pm – and every hour in between. We’re all about packing smart, not large!
And one more thing to remember: the goal of dressing up is always to feel confident. Spend your precious suitcase space on clothes that make you feel fabulous!
When you’re going on walking tours or taking trips around a city, harem pants are a must-have. They’re stylish and comfortable without being restrictive, so you can relax on a train or plane while looking camera-ready at all times.
When shopping for trousers, look for materials such as viscose and cotton for extra breathability. Cropped trousers or palazzo pants are especially suited for hot locations because they’ll keep air flowing while you walk.
Top tip: steer clear of linen unless you have time to iron in the morning, as this fabric is famous for creasing easily.
A suitcase full of versatile tops is crucial for your city trip. Remember to bring comfy t-shirts, a few long sleeve shirts in case of cool weather, and some going out tops for those last-minute evening plans. You can always elevate an everyday shell top simply by adding accessories or a flash of lipstick.
Heading to a colder climate? Opt for layers such as cardigans or overshirts that will fold up small, yet still bring extra comfort on a chilly evening.
Jumpsuits and dresses are must-have versatile pieces to take on your city break. Whether you go for a smocked midi or an elegant cropped jumpsuit, there’s something for all dress codes in our collection. To elevate the look, simply style with heels and add metallic accessories – and for a more laid-back finish, pop on your favourite comfortable trainers. It’s the perfect day-to-night outfit.
The best thing about dresses and jumpsuits: there’s no need to worry about putting an outfit together, because they’re a whole look in one! And that means minimal packing dramas, too.
No time? No worries! With Izabel London’s non-iron collection, you can take your look straight from your hand-luggage and into the day.
