If a last-minute summer getaway is on the cards, the one thing you don’t want to worry about is your packing. My trick? I always start with a base colour or key piece to work an edited suitcase around – it means the shoes I pick will work with everything and I can lay things on the floor to figure out the best multitasking looks that can be switched up from day to night, beach to bar.
