Days To Remember #Mojoe: How to Build a Holiday Capsule Wardrobe

Whether it’s a bank holiday getaway, a mini break or a full fortnight all-inclusive poolside resort, each kind of holiday needs a capsule wardrobe. Here, we go through how you can create the perfect holiday capsule wardrobe for whatever your next adventure has in store for you.

A floaty maxi dress is essential for your night out to feel stylish, sleek and totally chic. Go a step further by opting for a button-through maxi dress that you can pair with a camisole and shorts, or even your swimwear! Then, you have a gorgeous kimono acting as the top layer of your ensemble before you kimo-know it. 

Our Sant Josep Dress or Savannah Boho Dress both make great choices for a remarkable dress you can wear both ways.

Tops and tunics are a summer staple, whether you’re layering a gorgeous ensemble or throwing on a tunic after climbing from the pool. Tunics are also a great answer to a mini dress that can be dressed down with leggings and sandals or dressed up with a pair of shorts and a heel. Capsule wardrobe items are all about practicality and versatility!

Check out our Ultimate Boho Tunic or Beach Babe Lace Tunic, both some of Joe’s favourites for your capsule wardrobe.

Depending on your luggage allowance, you’ll need at least two pairs of shoes. Opt for a versatile pump or pair of trainers for those long summer walks and a pair of comfy sandals. If you have the room, pack your holiday heel, such as a strappy number for those long summer nights full of antics and Sangria!

Opt for a plain pair of trainers, such as our High Vibes Pumps or check out the Athena Studded Leather Sandals for holiday footwear that’ll match any outfit.

Essential go-to shirts for a capsule wardrobe include a colour or pattern and the plain white blouse, depending on which trouser or skirt you feel like on the day. Consider your personal style when shopping around. If you prefer smart-casual, think a crisp white collared blouse. If you’re more boho, a broderie blouse or something off-the-shoulder works a treat when paired with a long floaty skirt. The options are endless!

Check out our Fabulous Floaty Blouse for a plain white choice or the Fun and Flirty Top for a playful number; the perfect partner for a day full of adventure.

Consider only one pair of jeans for your holiday, as you can get a few wears out of them and they won’t be your go-to during hot, sunny afternoons. Instead, a pair of loose beach trousers are comfortable, airy and much more suited to a holiday. A pair of chic shorts or capris are an absolute essential, so you have plenty of options to team up with your tops.

Try out our Perfect Prairie Embroidered Shorts for a fun, embellished short or our Boho Beach Trousers to turn heads as you sashay on the sandy shores.

Beachy skirts and floaty frills are all the rage, so pick an option that suits your personal style. Try a maxi skirt for you boho babes or a rara skirt if you want to feel flirty and fun. If you find yourself wanting something that blends classic and chic, opt for a skirt with an A-line or fishtail for a really dynamic look. 

Take a look at our Beautiful Lace Maxi Skirt for beautiful, beachy bohemian vibes or our Lace Trim Rara Skirt for a gloriously feminine choice that packs loads of fun!

Aside from a floaty evening dress, it’s advisable to pack a fun, cute dress for the daytime. A ditsy little dress is your best friend for those super-hot, sunny days when the thought of more clothes makes you sweat. Jersey dresses are fantastic for this because the fabric is stretchy, comfortable and airy. As a bonus, they're crease-resistant and pack down super small! Winner winner, chicken dinner! 

Our Hannah Jersey Dress is a striking feminine choice, or try the Remarkable Jersey Dress to show your playful side.
