I thought I’d put together some suggestions for a capsule holiday wardrobe that will be ideal for ladies with curves, like me. (I’m a UK size 14/16.) Below is my pick of lightweight maxis, loose fitting linens and key accessories that you can mix and match with every outfit.
I own over half of these clothes myself (scroll down for pics) and the rest are on my wish-list for my next holiday.
The padded scallop plunge swimsuit is super flattering and comfortable – I road tested it in Mallorca and there was no nip-slippage! I also thoroughly recommend the longline beach coverup if you’re a little self conscious. The oversized sunnies by M&S are an absolute bargain (I have them in black) and a straw tote is such a summer holiday essential I included 2 for you to choose from!
The Essential Beach Vacation Packing List For A 7 Day Trip
I will put together my curve-friendly suggestions for a travel capsule wardrobe in 2023 once more stock comes in stores but in the meantime check out these gorgeous summer holiday outfits that just dropped at The White Company.
If you don’t already own some, invest in some packing cubes – they will change your life, I promise! I love this large set of 2 from Selfridges for all your main outfits. The mesh top means not only are they breathable but it’s really easy to see what’s in them at a glance.
I’ve also had this set of 6 packing cubes from Amazon for 4 years now and they are still going strong. They are great for packing children’s clothes, underwear, nightwear, swimwear etc as you can take them out of the suitcase and pop them in a drawer as they are. Unpacking in 2 seconds sounds good, doesn’t it?
Vacation Clothing Essentials To Pack For Summer
Worried about squashing your hat? I managed to pack my big straw hat for our Mallorca holiday without ruining it. The trick is to put it in the suitcase upside down and fill it with soft items that will hold the shape.

After a tumultuous few years, the cost of living is higher than ever – and it's hitting our disposable income pots hard. Factor in the average budget flight's hidden costs (not even Jacquemus' Le Chiquito Mini could get past these airlines), and it literally
The Top 10 Summer Essentials All Women Need
It's important to invest in a few holiday essentials in order to nail the art of packing. Because, by ditching your over-stuffed suitcase, you can say 'goodbye' to hold luggage delays and 'hello' to that sweet no-bag-drop queue at check-in – and justify buying the cute weekend bag you've been eyeing up. Not to mention, with all of last summer's strikes giving us airport anxiety, it pays to be more mobile when you're travelling. The less stuff you take, the more carefree the trip.
Whether you plan on lounging by the pool or pounding a sunny city’s pavements, keep things simple with a select edit of holiday essentials. And we
Essentials. So when that voice in your head kicks in, telling you one more pair of shoes couldn’t possibly hurt, resist: no one wants to be the person sweating at security, struggling to zip up their suitcase...
Fashion And Beauty Essentials For A 19th Century Summer Holiday
Summer knitwear is the trend you need to know about. But before you envisage getting all hot and sweaty up in this stripey Albaray midi, we'll assure you it's knitted from breathable cotton yarns for effective temperature regulation. Plus, it'll remain crease-free no matter how badly it's folded, and it's super comfy to wear when travelling. It's so practical, it'd be rude not to buy it.
If you’re limiting yourself to one pair of shoes for that holiday capsule wardrobe flex, choose wisely. WAT The brand's leather sandals are perfect for day-to-night dressing with their winding straps and comfy footbed sole. Go for black over the tan colourway to get the most wear out of yours.
Silky skirts are beautiful, but wholly inappropriate for daytime wearing when it's hot out. Enter: the summer slip skirt by Reformation. This design is still bias-cut, so it hugs your hips and drapes beautifully, but made from linen that's breezier and less high-maintenance. Choose from khaki, black, floral-print or white.
Kids Summer Holiday Essentials
If you only take one piece of jewry on holiday, make it a pair of statement earrings. ByAlona's are perfect for coastal holidays with their scalloped shell design, warm gold tone and light-catching crystals. When you’re making a quick change for dinner post-swim, tie wet hair back into a low bun to draw attention to this playful pair.
It might be tempting to have many a bikini on rotation, but when you’re stretched for suitcase space, an easy one-piece is the way to go. ARKET'S black swimsuit has a one-shoulder silhouette and pretty ruching, so it'll double as a bodysuit come evening.
A week's worth of looks for the price (and space) of two, a good co-ord is a non-negotiable when it comes to hold luggage holidays. Boteh's boho printed set comprises a smock blouse and wrap mini skirt; together they create a day-to-night dress, and the separates work well with tanks tops, denim shorts, maxi skirts and more.
Summer Travel Essentials: Holiday Packing Tips — Sincerely Yours
While wide-brimmed straw hats might look louche and elegant, but they're also really impractical when it comes to packing (your favourite Jacquemus will no doubt emerge shapeless once it’s been squashed into the depths of your suitcase). For summer 2023 everyone's swapping their headgear for a bandana instead. Buy a silky scarf now and you can style it in myriad ways: as a headband, neckerchief, bracelet, bag strap, bandeau top or a belt.
Thanks to its voluminous shape, balloon sleeves and breezy fabric, & Other Stories' smock dress is comfortable to wear when a) it's hot and b) you're in a post-alfresco-lunch stupor. Thanks to that little thing called WFH, easy dresses have become a staple because they can be thrown on in five seconds flat but look instantly pulled-together.
Turtle shoppers are so much more versatile than structured straw styles. Longchamp's Le Pliage string tote can stretch to 40kg capacity (in goes the beach towel, all your books and the bathroom sink) and folds down to nothing – perfect for stuffing into your hold luggage on the flight over. Getting that see-through-bag stage fright? Just throw a few Instagram-worthy lemons in there alongside your essentials.
