There is a fine art to packing – you have to resist taking all your worldly belongings with you but at the same time you don’t want to spend your holiday dressed in nothing but a swimming costume and flip flops. Here's our advice on packing the perfect suitcase.
1: Apply the three-in-one rule: For every bottom you pack, take three tops to create different looks. Take four bottoms at the most for a week-long holiday and five for a fortnight away.
2: No more than three pairs of shoes – no matter how long the trip: If you’re going somewhere hot you just need a pair of pretty flip flops, some dressy sandals and a pair of comfortable pumps for sightseeing.
3: Dresses are ideal for a capsule wardrobe: Take light dresses that can be scrunched into the corner of your case. Take three at the most –a beach dress and two dressier ones.
4: Accessories are a fantastic way to add wow: A great way to add va va voom to a wardrobe of basics. Oversized sunglasses add Jackie O glamour while wooden necklaces rock tribal chic. Pack small items in your shoes to keep them safe and to save room.
5: Lay everything out on your bed before you pack and then halve it: Sounds brutal but you’ll be relieved when you’re lugging your case in the heat. Besides, you can always use the hotel laundry to ensure your clothes go further.
