How To Pack

"Just a little of my elarroyoenterprises colour themes packed for a long awaited Mediterranean and Turkey holiday, flying out tomorrow. Work tools down for 7 glorious weeks! I’ve loved how easy it’s been packing, just roll up n pack…. thanks elarroyoenterprises."

Holiday Wardrobe Hack #1: Pack colour stories that complement for easy mix n' match outfits.

Take a printed item, like Susan's Jasper Top in Whimsy and pair back with separates in colours from the print. Petrol, Cinnamon, Olive and Chambray set off Whimsy to perfection!

Lightweight & Long Sleeved

Sun, Sights & Sleeves

Europe in springtime can see mixed temperatures so tops with sleeves make great companions.

For warmer days, switch jersey fabric tops for woven tops. Lightweight and breathable, woven fabrics keep you cool while long sleeves offer protection from the sun. Susan says,

"The Kelyn Swing Shirt is one of my favourites. I have three Kelyn Swing Shirts with me. I get so many comments, thanks elarroyoenterprises - proudly Aussie made I tell everyone."

Holiday Wardrobe Hack #2: Be sure to pack a soft tailoring jacket for fresher mornings, and it's easy to carry or drape over shoulders if the sun grows more temperate.

Susan's 7 Steps To Perfecting Your Capsule Travel Wardrobe

Follow Susan's holiday packing lead with her guide on how to pack the right clothes for your travels:

  1. Comfortable Walking Shoes: Europe holds so many treasures to explore and they're best explored on foot, so be sure to pack comfortable shoes that you can walk in all day long.
  2. Light Layers: European weather can be unpredictable especially in spring time when I'm travelling, so pack light layers that you can easily mix and match. Include essentials such as a lightweight scarf, woven or bamboo jersey fabric tops and a denim jacket.
  3. Versatile Dresses: A good jersey dress is comfortable for day wear and easy to style up for evening. Pack a few and transform them from day-to-night by switching up the look of your accessories.
  4. Classic Denim: Denim is easy to mix match. If the climate's looking too hot for jeans, there's always the denim jacket option for laidback layering.
  5. Swimwear: Whether its for the beach or the pool, a good swimsuit is a must. Go for a classic colours and pair back with printed tops and tunics for beach-to-bar style.
  6. Outerwear: the changeable European climate definitely requires an outerwear jacket. Pack a lightweight raincoat or a warm coat, depending on the season and your destination.
  7. Coordinate Colour Stories: Just because you're packing light doesn't mean pack boring. If you love colour and print, pick a few printed garments and choose separates in similar shades (at least 1 pair of bottoms and a top layer per print) to accompany them.
