Dear Identityโ€™s Stylist,

Next month, iโ€™ll be going to sharm, gouna, and sukhna to attend 3 weddings. I always have a problem packing, I never know what to take and end up travelling with 3 bags and clothes that I never end up wearing. Iโ€™d like you to help me choose some essentials to pack.

Thank you for your time,
Sara Karim.

 

Dear Sara,

Us girls always end up over packing thinking weโ€™d better have it just in case rather than the typical โ€œOh why didnโ€™t I pack that!โ€. So, usually long weekends consist of mornings by the beach, a late lunch gathering and a party or just a chill night at a friendโ€™s home.

I will list down the essentials to pack and how you can play around with them to avoid over packing for just a weekend.

For a morning by the beach, you could keep it simple with a pair of denim shorts and a basic tank over your swimsuit, a lightweight kimono would do the trick on the beach for a more glamorous look.

 

If youโ€™re going for a late lunch, my personal favourite; the slim fitting maxi. Nothing is more flattering or form fitting than this dress. Make sure you have your chunky knit close to keep warm if it gets chilly at night. Add accessories if you want to dress it up a bit.

 

Finally, if youโ€™re off to a party or celebration of some sort a cocktail dress would do the trick! If youโ€™re not really in the party mood and decide to stay at a friendโ€™s house you can always pair a crop top with a pair of shorts for a casual holiday look.

 

Essentials to pack are:

– Denim Shorts
– Basic tank
– Swimwear
– Cocktail dress
– Chunky knit
– Slim maxi dress

 

To add your personal touch:

– The oh so famous โ€˜crop topโ€™
– A kimono
– Killer heels
