For a weekend, a getaway or a full week, here are some ideas for basics and essentials to put in your suitcases whatever the destination. And since we're nice, we'll even take a few minutes to talk about winter vacation outfits !

How to dress for the weekend?

The weekend:it is short, consists of only two days, a single evening or two (for the lucky ones). It is therefore a question of taking only the essentials so as not to load. Of course, it all depends first of all on your holiday destination. Because a weekend in the mountains and the sea do not require the same essentials, although there are some basics. Let's see together which fashion piece works for sure!

Jeans


The essential of the weekend is, of course, jeans! And yes, whether you go into nature or to the sea, to a hot or cold destination, jeans is the essential casual piece in which you feel good. With jeans, you can do anything and it goes with everything. So end the games of Tetris trying to combine your various nuggets with two or three pants. Take jeans, you'll be much more relaxed!

But not just any jeans. Because yes, we know you and we suspect that with all the trendy cuts of jeans of the moment, you have not just one but several in your closet.

The solution is simple:bring your favorite jeans . The one who flatters you, who puts you at ease, the one you wouldn't want to part with. Obviously, the easiest way would be to opt for basic jeans with a straight cut, but if your favorite of the moment is a boyfriend, a flare or whatever, don't hesitate for a second otherwise you'll bite your fingers.

The sailor


Among the second pieces that work every time, I quote the famous marinière . Whether you are looking for how to dress in Brittany in August or April or whether you go to the sea and the mountains, the marinière always works.

To take away its very classic spirit, do not hesitate to choose a trendy model with little ruffles, a mini embroidered red heart or any other detail you'd like. Our crush of the moment:the oversized marinière! It will necessarily go with denim shorts or jeans and even white pants!

The basic t-shirt


We still need it since it's a basic. You will be very happy to find it to calm down a little destroy shorts, to associate it with your freshly shopped pleated midi skirt or to put it with your little favorite of the moment, I quote the paper bag pants . In short, a basic you need one for holidays and weekends. Black, navy blue, white or grey, see according to your tastes but don't forget!

A hot piece

Whether you are going to the Côte d'Azur in the middle of July or to Deauville in October, you will need a warm room in case . You need a small trendy piece to add to your looks and that works with just about everything. It can be a plain bomber jacket, a perfecto, a denim jacket or even a long cardigan. A windbreaker can also be very practical for certain regions. What matters is to provide at least one spare garment in case of cold or bad weather.

It can also be an oversized knit or your favorite vest with small ruffles!

A dress

You always need a dress to get away from it all. Part of the fun of vacation is feeling pretty, fresh, tanned and sometimes even sexy. So even if you go to the mountains, don't forget a little dress.

To choose it, it's simple, we do according to the place of your vacation and his style of dress .

  • If you're going to the beach and you're more of a bohemian type, go with a floral maxidress or a bohemian dress.
  • If your style is preppy, opt for a classic plain shift dress.
  • Rather retro? Bring your favorite dress of the moment with polka dots, a babydoll dress, a pin-up dress, a slipdress...
  • For sportswear enthusiasts, a shirt dress or cotton dress with a drawstring at the waist is ideal.
  • And if you want a safe and trendy piece this summer, take the denim dress out of your closet or the sailor dress.
  • Finally, let's not forgetthe sexy dress and feminine. If you are planning nightclub outings, a romantic evening or meeting people, bet on a feminine and trendy dress. Skater dress, strapless dress, midi dress , for this kind of weekend, you even have the right to take two!!

If you hesitate with a skirt, know that it will be much easier to bring a dress for the time of a weekend. And yes, the skirt, it would force you to think about the top, the jacket, the accessories and the shoes that will go with it. So you're going to have to load yourself!

What outfit for summer vacation?

To dress for summer vacation , it's different. Already we often leave longer, at least for the week. So we need more clothes. We advise you to stick to your basics and add denim shorts, a modern skirt, a nice blouse, a top and why not a jumpsuit or playsuit.

To be honest, the clothes that will complement your basics directly depend on where you are vacationing. Respect the following rule:on vacation I allow myself to take two pieces that I am not sure I will wear. Beyond that, you risk taking too much and overloading yourself unnecessarily.

This is often the case when choosing summer vacation shoes . Between sandals, wedge sandals, flip flops, sneakers, heels and the trendy little pair that you can't leave at home, you very quickly find yourself with 5 pairs of shoes. To go light, you really only need two two or three pairs maximum . A pair to go to the beach, sneakers and a pair of dress shoes.

What outfit to go to the seaside in winter?

In winter things are different. If we expect to benefit from the sun, we know that we will have to dress warmly so as not to be cold. At the edge of the sea, the wind blows. You will therefore need a windproof coat, a parka or a warm coat.

For the wardrobe, plan basics for the pants and bring two or three stitches to be able to twist.

What you need above all are the shoes to go for a walk and a little hat that keeps you warm. You can draw the rain boots trends or a pair of the latest sneakers that will allow you to go all-terrain.
