Men’s fashion expert reveals ‘four-outfit formula’ for summer holiday packing

I’ve created five outfits to inspire your summer wardrobe - (Mytheresa / The Independent)

Every year I dedicate time to curating my summer wardrobe to fit the brief of my holidays. Whether I’m heading on a beach break to the Caribbean, a Euro summer city break or a far-flung Asian escape, one of my biggest considerations is what to wear.

As a light packer who hates lugging around huge suitcases between hotels, I always plan my outfits ahead and create a mini capsule wardrobe that means I can easily build outfits that will pair together. I’ll get my notebook ready, the weather app open and plan interchangeable outfits to take the decision fatigue away when I need to focus on relaxing. This is normally categorised into four outfits based on what people actually do on holiday.
