If you’ve booked flights to somewhere exotic and you're now on the hunt for some sunshine-ready staples to throw in your suitcase, I urge you to take a sneak peek at Lisa Snowdon’s latest Instagram snaps for some wardrobe inspiration.
The 53-year-old shared photos from a recent trip to Ibiza, and her outfit choices were absolutely perfect. Her suitcase included statement dresses and separates, and as I scrolled through, it was like a masterclass in how to dress for a beach holiday.
Lisa opted for two dresses by Queen of Archives, which had a very similar red and patterned vibe, though one was short and playful while the other was longer in length and had more of a boho feel.
She also wore a stunning white and green printed maxi dress by Boden, which is my favourite look of them all and is currently up for grabs with a 25% discount. Finally, she opted for a Tabitha Webb tie-dye shirt for a boat trip. Each outfit ticked off some of the current spring/summer fashion trends and worked well for warm weather plans, while still being very easy to wear for every day post-holiday.

The key to savvy holiday packing is to choose pieces that can be worn in a couple of ways, so you will save space in your case and have less to think about while you're away.
Lisa's bold dresses and printed shirt are perfect examples, as they can be used as a chic beach cover-up or an easy look for a day of shopping and exploring, but can then be dressed up with heels and a clutch for when the sun goes down.
