If you’re heading out of the city for a weekend away in the UK don’t be left high and dry and make sure you’ve packed all the essentials. Style-passport list the must-have pieces you need for the ultimate stylish staycation.
1. Footwear:
Bring sensible footwear – Hunter wellingtons for the long walks and a pair of flats for a countryside lunch. Top Tip: Pack a pair of Bagllerinas as they’re foldable and come in a little leather pouch so you can easily slip them into your bag and do a quick change when you reach the pub.
2. Layer up:
The British weather can be somewhat unpredictable. Pack scarves and tees to layer over and under fine knitted jumpers. Hush’s cashmere socks come highly recommended for chillier days.
3. Waterproof :
Nothing says a country weekend away quite like a Barbour. The quilted International Polarquilt is just the right tone for the English countryside. Or opt for an oversized, classic wax version and pair with skinny jeans and tanned boots.
4. Picnic Perfect:
We’re ever hopeful that the ground stays dry and the sky stays light – if it does and you’ve packed a bottle of wine and a picnic whip out your Pendleton blanket for the last word in lunchtime love.
5. Bag Lady:
Ladies leave the tote at home. Ally Capellino makes lovely English bags. They’re utility chic pieces, waxed with leather buckles and pockets aplenty. The Ally Capellino Timothy Tote is large enough to store all your bits for a weekend away.
