Women’s Holiday Clothes

Heading away for a while or needing to travel light? No problem — there are plenty of ways to wash your clothes on holiday to keep them looking and smelling fresh.

Staying in a hotel? Make use of the hotel’s laundry service.

If you’re a hotel guest, ask at reception for details of their in-house laundry service. Sit back and relax as your holiday clothes are washed, dried, folded, and ironed for you, ready for whatever your trip has in store.

No hotel? No problem. Leave it to the launderette or wash by hand.

Launderettes are commonly found in most beach destinations and cities. Take your items to the self-service facility and wash them to your heart’s content. For delicate or hand-wash items, look for a dry cleaner — they specialise in keeping these types of holiday clothes in tip-top condition.

Pack a travel-size detergent for handwashing and clean your clothes the traditional way — by hand in the sink, bath, or shower. Rinse thoroughly to remove excess detergent and hang them over the shower or bath to dry.

What you should pack in your suitcase depends on where you’re going. For a summer holiday in the sun, pieces that keep you cool are a must. Pack a few summer dresses, a couple of cami tops, and your favourite shorts, and you won’t go wrong. A light cover-up or kimono is perfect for keeping the breeze off in the evening, and don’t forget your sunglasses!

Spending weeks at sea on a cruise? Make sure you check the cruiseliner’s dress code so you’ve got outfits for every occasion. Use our blog to decode the different looks so you can pack with confidence, no matter how long you’re away: How to pack for a cruise.

For city breaks, layers are your best friend. Pack lightweight tees you can easily add a jumper to for cooler days and wide-legged trousers that can be styled up or down depending on your agenda. Read Off-Season On-Trend Getaways for more sightseeing outfit ideas.

Catching some winter sun? A cover-up is a staple for a balmy beach day, whether you’re in the beach bar for lunch or having a sundowner by the pool. Remember to pack a lightweight sweater or scarf for the aeroplane to keep the air-con chill off.

Packing for a holiday can feel like a chore, but with our tips on folding your clothes, your suitcase will be stacked like a pro in no time.

1. Roll softer pieces, like t-shirts and pyjamas. Simply lay them flat, fold in half, and roll up. This prevents the items from creasing and saves space in your case.
2. Fold heavier, more structured clothes (like a denim jacket) and place them at the base of your bag. Try to fold with the fewest folds possible to avoid bulky shapes that take up precious room.
3. Compress your clothes and organise your case with packing cubes. Separate your items out and then pack by style — for instance, all tops in one cube, all shorts in another.
4. Always fill the gaps, whether that’s putting socks inside trainers or underwear in empty spaces around larger items.

Voilà, your suitcase is all ready for your trip.
