28th April 2026

Whether you’re based in Riyadh or Rio, Kuwait City or California, the anticipation of a stylish summer escape is universal. Naturally destination plays a key role in your packing process – breezy beach essentials are right for Cyclades island sunsets, whilst minimalism and strong silhouettes earn their stripes in a city setting. Here’s what to pack wherever your summer adventure starts. Mini break in Barcelona, anyone?

The City Break Essentials

European cities can often be quieter in the summer, as locals escape the heat, making it the perfect time to explore without crowds. City wardrobe vibes lean towards monochrome and minimalist, there’s something impeccably chic about an all white outfit standing out against the pace and mayhem of a vibrant city. Voranida’s White Tyla Tube Top is an effortless starting point to build an outfit around, paired with a tailored skirt - like The Loom Atelier’s Pleated maxi Skirt, stand out denim or wide leg pants. St Agni and SIR. are natural go-tos for city chic dresses that work day to night, finished with Naghedi’s woven bag – it’ll get a nod of approval from any local tastemaker whose eyes fall upon it.

Beachy and beautiful buys

No brand on Fabric of Society captures the essence of a beachy summer better than Devon Windsor. Designed by super model Devon Windsor, her namesake brand serves up flattering resort wear in pastel shades and vibrant prints. Likewise, California based label, Jade Swim, is our go-to for mix and match swimwear and cover ups – chic, simple and serene.
