A roomy weekend bag with extra compartments will keep all your items organised. There's plenty of space for what you need, and a handy zipped front pocket to make it easy to grab your passport or purse on the go.

A lightweight cap-style hat will protect your hair from the elements, shield your eyes from the sun and earn you extra style points as you explore the scenery (baseball caps are having a moment this spring/summer). ‘Styling with a cap gives your outfit an effortless sporty, designer look,’ says Fashion Stylist Lynda Bell. ‘I love styling them with a feminine dress for an unexpected twist.’ Pack upside down in your bag with smaller items stored inside the cap to max out on space.

Whether you’re seeing the sights or heading to lunch, belt bags tick all the boxes. Easy to carry and a hands-free hero, our monochrome gingham sling bag has an inner compartment for money, cards or keys. The adjustable shoulder strap creates multiple wearing options, leaving you free to coordinate holding an ice cream while taking a selfie.

Versatile and stylish, a midi dress is your one-and-done mini-break marvel. Paired with trainers for day-tripping or sandals for cocktails, it will take you from day to night and save space in your luggage to boot.

Bring a magpie moment to your getaway look with some sparkly flat shoes. A lightweight design can be slipped into your bag to add a little daytime glitz once you’re done seeing the sights. Nostalgic jelly shoes with a padded footbed and secure slingback straps will keep you comfortable while the shine and sparkle will elevate your sightseeing style.

Soak up the sights through a pair of sunglasses, protecting your eyes from the (fingers crossed) sunny weather and adding to your getaway glam. And if the clouds reappear, you can always use them as a stylish way to keep your hair out of your eyes.

Super-soft and easy to dress up or down, wide leg trousers are a wardrobe wonder. Comfortable and versatile for both travelling and day-tripping, switch up your accessories to dress them up or down. This pair comes in a co-ord set with a matching blouse, giving you multiple outfit options in one. ‘Opt for the head-to-toe stripe look for a more polished look and dress down with a graphic tee for days off,’ suggests Lynda.

Easy to mix and match with skirts, trousers and jeans, the right jacket will bring your weekend wardrobe together. Pick from a go-to denim gilet or an embroidered waistcoat in a lightweight fabric that packs easily and saves on space.

Whether it’s for keeping your money in or storing away jewellery, headache tablets or make-up essentials, pouches always come in handy. Choose one in a colourful design so it’s easy to find when you’re rummaging around in your bag in a busy tourist hangout.

A playful mini dress is one item of clothing that will always be a weekend getaway win. Simple to style, it looks great paired with statement jewellery and boots for a night out, layered with a lightweight jacket. Pack a style that goes with trainers or flats so it can double up as daywear.

Don’t fancy wearing the same jewellery for the entire trip? Pack an earring set so you can mix up your studs and hoops from one outfit to the next. This mismatched set features green onyx gemstones and a gold-plated motifs with engraved detailing.

A lightweight scarf is one of those accessories that will always be a mini-break must. ‘Square scarves can be worn in so many ways,’ says Lynda. ‘My faves include tied around a wrist like a bracelet, wrapping around the top handle of a bag, through a braid in the hair, and of course around the neck à la Française.’ Choose a colourful print that complements your capsule weekend wardrobe.
