Whether you're planning a 3 day trip to Paris, or long weekend in Rome and Naples, you want to look great, whilst keeping your luggage carry-case light. There’s nothing worse than being charged for extra weight when you have brought more luggage than you actually used. A lesson learnt for your next trip. Our tips below will also help you achieve more from less.
Comfortable Day Trips
Mix-matching darks with lights is an all time winner. By taking a pair of light coloured trousers, you can look great by contrasting it with a pastel or even dark coloured top in a hot european country. Light colours always illuminate the sunshine abroad, whilst darks always show off a rich tan. Perfect for day trips, when you want to look casual but comfortable.
If you prefer showing off your tanned legs, pack a few lightweight casual dresses to wear with toe post sandals. Planning your colour scheme with your day-trippers will see you all looking pretty and coordinated for a group selfie, stood in front of your favourite landmark, ready to post on Instagram.
Carry a lightweight cardigan or blazer in your handbag, in case the evenings grow milder, say if you are booked on a boat cruise on the River Seine, whilst the sun is setting.
You always need a dress for any occasion. Celebrating one of your birthdays or hen do? Short figure hugging dresses above the knees, in staple black or white, will look great if you're eating out on the beach one evening. If you're visiting the Eiffel Tower or going for afternoon tea at Le Meurice Hotel, then a floral dress will make you look all the more Parisian.
So already, we have listed a few alternative types of dresses perfect for different events. A couple pairs of trousers or jeans, alongside some contrasting tops and that essential cardigan.
