Lifestyle: Travel essentials Guide
Wherever you are, wherever you’re going, there are some things that are simply a must when packing for your travels. The MB team look at the items you need this summer, from clothing, accessories and beyond.
Wardrobe Staples
The summer months can often be a time to experiment with your outfit rotation, however when condensing your fits’ into a suitcase, we suggest starting with versatile and minimal pieces.
A plain or subtle logo t-shirt can be the base of many holidays looks, from pairing it with your swim shorts for chilled pool attire or dressing it up in your evening outfit. Core colours such as black and white, also give you the potential to pair in numerous colour combinations, making it the perfect starting point when packing.
Airport Fit
One of, if not the most important outfit of the whole trip, the airport fit. A decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly and where comfort must be at the forefront of any choice, along with the general aesthetic.
Relaxed hoodie and shorts sets are often a go to, ensuring flight long comfort, whilst also looking the part when browsing duty free and sipping your pre-holiday pint.
Accessories
Accessories can take an outfit from 0 to 100, and can often be overlooked when packing, despite taking hardly any space up in your case. Jewellery and bags can provide texture and personality to outfits, whilst showing off your commitment to the fit. Other pieces such as sunglasses and caps present a practical element when out in the sun, however they can be equally important when elevating your look.

Tech
For many, a getaway can be viewed as an escape from their day to day life, which can often mean a technology detox. However, some tech simply cannot be ignored when fleeing the real world.
A camera is the perfect way to capture those holiday highlights, and we aren’t accepting phone cameras for this one. Explore the use of alternatives, such as disposable and instant cameras, that deliver retro snaps and quite literally provide a different lens and outlook on your trip away.
Holiday transport and days by the pool are often the perfect time to sit back, relax and put your favourite album or podcast on. So, unless you’re confident enough that everyone around you is going to enjoy your playlist, we suggest packing your headphones and immersing yourself that way.
