Ah yes, the delightful prospect of getting away from it all, leaving your cares behind and enjoying the pleasures and adventures of another county. With longer evenings, brighter skies and balmier days, it’s finally time to start planning those weekends away. It’s all too easy to fill your suitcase with unconsidered, unwanted items. You want to spend your precious time making the most of your weekend, not being frustrated about wondering what to wear. There are so many merits to planning your wardrobe for that exciting weekend away and here are my suggestions.
Jumpsuit by Sophie Schnoor €219.95.
A great jumpsuit is a game-changer in your wardrobe. It offers versatility, street-style edge and is the perfect piece to style in your own way. This jumpsuit, with its lean silhouette, allows you to style with oversized pieces or add chunky boots to give a nod to this season’s utility trend. I chose this one as I love the strong femininity of the high collar and puff sleeves. Here’s to standing out from the crowd

Pack-It III waterproof jacket €41.95.
With our unpredictable weather, it’s wise to be ready for the rain. This lightweight jacket is made from waterproof fabric, has taped seams and a breathable design. It can be folded and packed into its own small bag, allowing you the freedom to enjoy walking no matter what the weather.

Belt bag €139.
I’ve been addicted to belt bags for quite some time now. I love the freedom of having my hands and arms free, of not having to scan around to see where I left my bag or, on a night out, knowing I can dance the night away without worrying about the safety of my bag. This belt bag is made from luxurious, durable leather that will last a lifetime. It fits neatly around the body and is the perfect size to fit all that you’ll need for your travels.

Fitflop Vitamin FF Sneakers €125.
Getting out and about is one of the great pleasures of exploring a new place and comfortable footwear makes all the difference. Fitflop’s trainers are some of the most comfortable I’ve ever worn. They are pull-on and the knit upper gives added support at the sides and arches. As well as offering high-rebound cushioning and looking stylish, what’s not to love?

V by Very blazer €51.
One of the hardest-working pieces in your wardrobe is a blazer. It can be styled in a casual or more formal way, it offers structure and a leaner silhouette and when it’s a vibrant colour, it can be teamed with your favourite basics. The longer line of this fantastic blazer means it will work well with trousers and jeans and with the clever addition of a belt, is ideal for a short or midi-length skirt or dress.

Dress €74.95.
The shirt dress is one of those go-to pieces in your wardrobe that works every time. While this dress has all the hallmarks of an iconic piece, the dynamic print and colour pop palette give it a contemporary vibe. Add a belt to introduce texture or choose one in a highlight colour for a more vibrant look. It’s an easy dress to wear, with a sophisticated edge.
