Whether you’re a frequent flyer in search of the perfect suitcase or prepping for an upcoming getaway and in need of a wardrobe refresh, we’ve curated an edit of travel-ready essentials to see you through in style...

The White Dress 

On holiday, all you really want is to feel cool, comfortable, and effortlessly put together – and If Only If delivers exactly that. The fabrics are soft, the cotton is light, and the cuts are endlessly flattering. £115, If Only If

The Sunglasses

These gorgeous everyday specs are part of a new and exclusive collaboration between Adanola and Lexxola, available in three different colourways — yes, including Adanola’s cult-favourite Coffee Bean. £120, Adanola

The Basket Bag 

A bag roomy enough for all your in-flight essentials (and squeezing in even more to dodge extra baggage fees), but stylish enough to sling over your shoulder while exploring a new city. £119, Charles & Keith 

The Bikini 

Inspired by a wave of nostalgic, carefree memories of summers in the ’70s, founder Nounou creates cotton swimwear designed to crinkle after days spent in the sea and sun – echoing the styles she remembers her mother wearing. Nounou girls capture that effortless, sun-kissed energy of European summers. £220, nounou   

The Suitcase 

These Monos carry-on cases are a frequent flyer’s best friend: lightweight, surprisingly spacious, with wheels that glide like a dream. And they look good doing it. £270, Monos 

The Co-Ord 

WNU’s shirt and boxer sets come in so many colours, you could pack one for every day of your trip, and that’s all you’d need. Wear them together or mix and match – they’re the kind of pieces you’ll reach for again and again. £190, With Nothing Underneath 

The Hair Oil 

A hardworking hair oil is non-negotiable on holiday – especially if your hair tends to suffer from too much sun, sea, and salt. Enter Gisou: a cult favourite and one of the best in the business, it keeps your beachy waves glossy and hydrated, never dry or straw-like. £14.25, Gisou 

The Deodorant  

The dreaded airport liquid bag struggle; we’ve all been there. But Make Waves’ new natural stick deodorant is here to help; they are refillable, liquid-free, and perfect for saving precious space. From £12, Make Waves 

The Face Mask 

For an in-flight skin fix, Charlotte Tilbury’s dry sheet mask is packed with supercharged ingredients your skin will thank you for on landing. Even better? It’s reusable, so you can keep it for the return journey. £18, Cult Beauty 

The SPF 

Emma Lewisham’s latest innovation? A high-tech SPF 50 glow serum that not only protects but delivers a natural bronzed tint for that lit-from-within, sun-kissed look. Perfect worn alone or as a base under makeup. £50, SpaceNK 

The Camera 

We’ve all seen the digicam trend take over our social feeds — so on your next trip, try packing one without a screen. It lets you capture the moment and stay present in it. Plus, there’s something fun about the surprise of plugging it into your laptop later to see how everything turned out! $89.45, Urban Outfitters
