Whether it’s Barcelona, Prague or London, packing for a summer
city break can be tough. Unlike beach escapes where you can throw a few bikinis
and a pair of flip flops in a case, city holidays need a carefully considered
wardrobe.
City breaks are naturally more active than beach holidays,
as you explore all that the city has to offer. With the wrong clothing, this
can be a disaster — blisters and sunburn anyone? Thought not! Daniel Footwear
is here to help with their our essential city break packing checklist. Check it out below!
Shoes
Whether it’s ancient cobbled streets or long days spent
sight-seeing, there’s only one thing for it: trainers. Thankfully, we’re in the
midst of a 90s revival, meaning our trainers are bang on trend, as well as super
comfortable. For a glam edge to your everyday style, we love our range of Michael
Kors trainers.
When day turns to night, and the clock strikes cocktail
o’clock, those cobbled streets and lengthy treks still remain. However, we
fully understand that you might want to add a touch of glamour to your evening
outfit. Depending on what you have planned, you may want to take some heels
with you — you can always take a taxi if it’s a long way away. Wedges are a
popular choice, and they look great with both jeans and dresses.
We recommend packing a pair of comfortable flats, such as
sliders or Fitflop
ballerina shoes, and a pair of embellished sandals too. Embellished sandals
are a stylish alternative to heels, perfect for channeling that beach-to-bar
look, while their added glitz adds a dash of glamour that every summer night
needs.
Accessories
Sunglasses are a must – especially in those typical hot
climates. They help you look stylish whilst protecting your eyes from the sun
rays. Who doesn’t love a big pair of sunglasses? It can get extremely hot when
you are out exploring a new city, partner your sunglasses with a sunhat for an
instantly glamorous look. A sunhat is a timeless accessory that will shield
your face from the mid-day sun, whilst making you look very chic.
For an evening, don’t forget to pack some statement
jewellery to finish your look. Bold jewellery will mirror the glitz and sparkle
of your embellished sandals.
Clothing
Maxi dresses are fabulous for the summer. They are a great
city break staple that are cool and stylish by day, and totally glamourous by
night when partnered with a pair of wedges and a chunky necklace – very boho.
When you are out exploring the city’s history, something
light and floaty is ideal to keep you cool throughout the day. Cami tops, kaftans,
floral playsuits and tea dresses are perfect, and totally on trend. They’ll
even look great with your trainers. Fashion that’s comfortable, who would have
thought it?
We also recommend packing some t-shirts to pair with some
frayed denim shorts just in case you burn your shoulders. They cover up those
sore burnt bits, whilst keeping you cool when you explore rest of the city.
Sun cream
Whatever you do, don’t forget your sun cream. It can get
very hot when you are out and about during the day doing activities, and you
might not realise the strength of the sun’s rays. You don’t want to ruin your
strip with sore sunburn, or even sunstroke. Be safe and apply plenty before you
head out into the sun.
