European cities buzz with the promise of foodie delights by day and low-lit romantic bars by night so you’ll need a sophisticated balance of smart and casual looks. Linen is the perfect hot-weather fabric so check out the stunning neutral-tone shirts and polos by Tommy Hilfigure and Polo Ralph Lauren, paired with a relaxed tailored jacket by Abercrombie & Fitch, and contemporary sandals from Birkenstock. Elevate the look with Fossil's minimalist gold jewellery to finish.

Womenswear

Perfect your city-break wardrobe with liberal amounts of sophistication and effortless day/night looks. While bold maxi dresses by Jigsaw can take you from the beach to the bar (we’re loving the subtle luxury vibe right now), understated basics such as AllSaint’s white vests and tees sort out the everyday, paired with relaxed tailoring. Round off the look with strappy sandals by Russell & Bromley and a floppy sun hat for protection from the sun (and the paparazzi, of course).

Luggage

City breaks call for lightweight luggage to take the stress out of travelling, and so a polycarbonate spinner by Tripp strikes the perfect balance of utility and sophistication. But buzzing around a city is also the domain of the weekender holdall, with stunning suede and canvas styles offered by Kate Spade and Dune. Kurt Geiger’s statement tote bags are essential kit too, being both stylish and indispensable, whatever your outfit.
