This time next week, I'll be in the heel of Italy in the region of Puglia, escaping the rainy, overcast UK skies. The forecast predicts highs of 31 degrees, which means that every item in my suitcase needs to answer what to wear in the heat, whilst helping me feel put-together for sightseeing, consuming far too much pasta and lazy beach days.
Packing for a trip can often feel overwhelming, but ensuring that you prioritise both comfort and style can make the experience a little easier. Breathability is key, so shop pieces made from natural fibres such as linen and cotton, as these help regulate your body temperature. Loose-fitting blouses, shirts, or breezy dresses are all high on my list, as they make getting dressed easy. Plus, these items will work hard when I'm back from my trip as part of your summer capsule wardrobe.
