9 Versatile Clothing Pieces That Maximise Your Packing for Travel

You've heard of the 3x3 rule when packing but you don't know which pieces can work overtime for you when away from your entire wardrobe and so to make things a little bit easier for you we have put together some great pieces that you will want to pack for your getaway outfits.

Nothing says summer dressing more than a crochet dress and this forte_forte option can be worn as a dress to the beach or while sightseeing, and can be worn open over a singlet top and jeans or shorts, doubling your fits with one simple, light piece.

Any summer getaway packing needs a t-shirt and we love this Madeleine Stamer x Elm printed tee. The white t-shirt features an illustration by Melbourne artist Madeleine Stamer, bringing fun artwork to your fits. Wear with pyjama-style shorts and ballerina flats, pair with a silk midi skirt and slides or simply throw on with a pair of jeans.

Versatility is key when choosing the right pieces to pack and this puff sleeve zip front dress from kikki.K is up there in its versatility offerings. Wear with flats for a day of culture at an art exhibition, match with a pair of kitten heels and a statement necklace for dinner or unzip it completely and wear it as a jacket over a t-shirt and comfy jeans.

If you are heading on a beach getaway then you need a Skarong. The multi-use sarong will naturally be perfect for your beach day but it can also be worn as a skirt, dress and with the new micro size you can also wear it as a top. We also love using it as a scarf, wrapping it around our head in tune with the latest European looks we are currently spying as well as using it as a belt.

It is this season's hallmark fashion piece and you'd be remiss if you did not pack a pair of capri pants that will take you from gelato treats to al fresco dinners. Wear this Naked Vice pair of capris with a printed tee and ballerina flats for day and wear with an off-the-shoulder top and kitten heels for night.

The humble denim skirt is a must-pack and will dress you up and down throughout your holiday. Pair The Khloé Mini Skirt from Good American with a tank, a pair of sneakers and your favourite hoop earrings, or wear with kitten heels, an off-the-shoulder top or simply with your swimsuit for a beach day.

If you're looking for a stylish pair of shoes that you can pretty much wear throughout your getaway then you will need to pack the Soel Flats from Nine West. The slingback flats will match with everything from dresses to shorts and of course your capri pants, and will work beautifully during the day as well as breezy evenings.

To complete your different looks we have found a great bag that will accessorise your fits beautifully. The Novo Alvina Deep Red Shoulder Bag will cross over your day fit of a maxi dress and flats, or accessorise your capri and strapless top perfectly, and for date night, hide the strap all together to hold as a pillowy clutch.

No look is complete on a European summer getaway without the perfect shine and you can make your skin shimmer from head to toe with the new Gabrielle Chanel body oil. The lightly scented oil will moisturise your skin while leaving you covered in a hint of jasmine and orange blossom, creating the perfect summer accessory.
