Mix and Match travel style for a long weekend getaway
Packing for a long weekend getaway should be as short and sweet as the trip itself. As concise as carry-on, as purposeful as your wardrobe essentials and easy-care to lighten the post holiday load. Here's our top tips to creating a concise long weekend travel capsule that'll keep you feeling comfortable, looking stylish and won't leave you with laundry headches for the week after!
En-Route Travel Outfit Comfort
The getting there is all part of the getaway, especially if it's a short trip. Whether you're driving or flying you want a travel outfit that makes you feel like you're already on holiday. Comfortable clothing is key, so pick a travel outfit with plenty of stretch. This is especially important if you're planning a road trip where you'll be seated for long periods. Soft stretchy waistbands and wide leg pants will enhance your sense of freedom when space is tight.
Likewise, Bamboo Jersey has thermo-regulating properties to keep you comfortable in all conditions. Leina & Fleur's Bamboo Jersey has a luxurious, buttery handfeel too, which adds luxe to your travel outfit. Great for tops, layer up your Bamboo Jersey with a poncho or infinity scarf for versatile styling options.

Travel Capsule Solutions for Outdoor Holidays
If you're using your long weekend getaway to get back to nature or explore the great outdoors, you'll want a travel capsule that's as practical as it is comfortable. Tapered leg pants work well with flat sneakers and walking shoes, with hemlines that won't trail or catch. In crease-resistant jersey, L&F's range of essential tops and pants are easy to pack. Rolling up small for compact storage in travel cubes, our jersey separates will emerge ready to wear with no need for ironing.

Coats & Jackets - Building Layers For Travel Wardrobes
Including a jacket in your long weekend travel capsule will increase your styling options. As well as countering temperature variations en-route and at your destination, a good jacket has the power to instantly elevate your look. A softly tailored cut like the Garcia Jacket gives a sharp silhouette but with plenty of stretch and an open front, this jacket wears as a smart-casual bomber jacket alternative.
In soft Modal, a long jacket like the Sorel Trenchcoat layers easily for turn-of-the-season getaway wardrobes. A weighted wrap like the Cove Weighted Poncho meanwhile, gives a layering look you can carry with you in your handbag for capsule wardrobe adventures. Double the potential, by pairing with a complimenting Desiree Infinity Scarf!

Colour Brings Your Travel Capsule To Life!
While classic palettes such as black, white and navy work well for travel capsule wardrobes, as much for their versatility as their practicality, there's no reason functionality should restrict your capsule's fun factor - you are on holiday after all!
For example, if black and white are your staples, introduce an accent colour such as green, blue or amethyst to boost your mix and match style. A single coloured top and jacket or scarf can be enough to transform your black and white basics for a long weekend away.
Prints are great for this too. By choosing a print with a base colour that matches your basics, like black or navy, no matter the colours in the print, it will pair back well with your capsule pieces. Dresses and tops are great opportunities to bring in a print.
