Trend of the week: City break

Take it to the streets with a city break capsule says Annmarie O’Connor.

INSPIRATION

A quick break requires equally speedy packing. A 10 kilo holdall is really all that’s required for a weekend of sightseeing in a foreign capital.

What’s more, warmer weather means a lighter livery and with that no pesky excess baggage.

The secret is in combining multi-taskers that do double duty like jumpsuits and luxe shorts that do am to pm with a simple switch of accessories.

STYLE NOTES

Save space by swapping heavy jewellery for notice-me fabrics and bold prints.

Leave the heels at home. Treat your feet to a pair of upscale flats that’ll polish up both day and night looks.

With this season’s 2.0 redux of denim jackets, erring on the side of casual is expected if not encouraged. Balance the fabric’s laidback appeal with a fitted silhouette and a smart shade of indigo for extra versatility.
