The stars are abroad! And if you too are venturing to a European spot known for its August influx of the one per cent — from Palermo (Dua Lipa) to Mallorca (Hailey Bieber) and Ibiza (everyone else) — it’s essential to differentiate yourself from the tourists; certainly if you want to get invited onto a yacht for after-dinner dancing, anyway.
Henry Conway, socialite, writer and not a shy holidayer, offers some soothing words of advice. “Always be prepared. It’s essential to bring enough formal clothes, lovely dresses if you’re a girl, a good jacket and stiff collar if you’re a boy. You’ll inevitably end up going to swanky dinners, and I tend to travel with something that can be turned into black tie, as you just don’t know what will happen on a trip — certainly if you’re rubbing shoulders with the international elite.”
