Repertoire Recommends: What should you pack this summer holiday?

Trying to avoid tipping the scales on your baggage allowance this summer?

Here at Repertoire we know the stress of deciding what to pack can be the least enjoyable part of your trip!

With this guide for easy packing you’ll have a myriad of options for the pool, beach and bar. So you can be chilled out this summer, before you even get to the pool…

Footwear

Footwear   can   be   one  of   the  heaviest  and bulkiest parts of packing. We recommend investing in some Swims, a versatile waterproof shoe that has a formal loafer style, this means you’ll have suitable option for every day and evening. Add some lightweight flip flops for lazy days by the pool and a casual stroll to town, then throw in one pair of Hugo Boss trainers.

Shorts

Two pairs of swim shorts are ideal, as one pair dries, the other keeps you beach ready. For this, we always look to Vilebrequin, an iconic and dependable brand which offers a great range of designs. Plus, each pair comes with a handy waterproof pouch!

For the days and evenings on dry land, chino shorts by Original Penguin are ideal. Not only do they create a smarter look, they are crafted from lightweight cotton keeping you cool and are a great alternative to the heavier denim styles.

Tops

Predictably, t-shirts are going to be a staple of the holiday. Easy and light, you can even throw in a few extra options without too much worry. Check out our plain and printed t-shirts from Orlebar Brown which are guaranteed to complete your holiday vibe.

Don’t forget – A short sleeved shirt for the evening is a must and polo shirts are a great transitional item for the days you spend going straight to the bar from the beach – every man loves the range from the iconic British heritage brand Sunspel at Repertoire.

Accessories

Complete each look with some perfectly chosen accessories.  One Armani bag, a pair of sunglasses and a Hugo Boss Green cap will all be part of your daily essentials.
