WHAT TO PACK FOR A CITY BREAK THIS SUMMER
There are beach holidays and there are exotic far-flung holidays but there are also city holidays - and, let's be honest, wardrobes for these require just as much planning as for anywhere else. You want to look polished but you want to be able to enjoy what the city has to offer all day long, too.
We have selected the perfect capsule wardrobe for Rome, Lisbon and Cannes to inspire your city break packing. You can thank us later.
CANNES
What to wear: Riviera chic is all about simple chic looks. The Côte d'Azur is your chance to wear white – Jil Sander’s white shorts and soft cream knit looks perfect with Chloé's of the moment C bag and Balenciaga’s Triple S trainers. Yes you can in Cannes!
What to Instagram: Port Pierre Canto is on the easterly edge of the Croisette in Cannes is a great spot to take photos of the harbour and people watch.
LISBON
What to wear: Keep your cool in a floral dress from Balenciaga and layer with a soft denim jacket for when the sun goes down. A cross body bag also from Balenciaga and simple white trainers fromSaint Laurent are ideal to take you from city sightseeing to bar-hopping.
What to Instagram: The Portas Do Sol Viewpoint is one of the most Instagrammable places in Lisbon. The views from here are incredible, especially around sunset.
DAY TRIP FROM LISBON
Just a short distance from Lisbon lies Cascais, a small fishing village with idyllic scenery which has attracted the attention of artists, writers and holiday makers for over a century. Why not include a day or two in the Martinhal in Cascias after your city break, it offers superb accommodation, excellent food, swimming pools and your stay can earn you 5% in Encore Rewards.
ROME
What to wear: Victoria Beckham’s flowing silk skirt is just the thing to keep you cool in the city, layer with her chic off-the-shoulder short and Fendi’s tangerine hued waist bag, a stylish yet practical finish to your sight-seeing look.
What to Instagram: Trastevere: This adorable part of Rome is the city's most charming neighbourhood, its cobbled streets and little fountains will be the perfect backdrop to showcase your Roman holiday look.
