Don’t underestimate the impact of a seasonably chic outfit to set the tone of your adventure. Dressing both appropriately and stylishly provides not only comfort, it can lend a heightened sense of romance for the occasion too. Here’s what you’ll find in our suitcase for a trip to Venice this Summer…
FOR HER
Midi Dress
In the height of summer, a combination of flowing silhouettes and light fabrics will seamlessly blend sophistication and comfort, especially when travelling. Whether you opt for a breezy linen maxi or a delicately ruffled sundress, let your wardrobe choices transport you into a dreamlike state, where you effortlessly embody the ethereal spirit of Venice itself.
Top
As you navigate the charming alleys and soak in the sights, a lightweight top becomes your ally, keeping you cool and poised amidst the Mediterranean heat. From vibrant prints that echo the colours of Venetian facades, to classic fits that embody the city’s romantic allure, let your top become a canvas for your personal style and an ode to the spirit of summer
BOTTOMS
A touch of white in your travel wardrobe can create a striking contrast against the colourful facades. These neutral tones will pair effortlessly with vibrant prints, delicate pastels, or nautical stripes.
BAG
A carefully selected summer bag becomes an indispensable companion for fashion-savvy explorers. Opt for a lightweight and versatile crossbody bag, crafted from natural materials like woven straw or canvas, exuding a laid-back elegance that captures the essence of the season.
Shoes
Venice, with its labyrinthine alleys and enchanting canals, calls for footwear that is as striking as it is comfortable. Whether adorned with intricate beadwork, luxurious leather straps, or whimsical embellishments, these sandals are the epitome of Venetian glamour.
Accessories
Accessories in Venice are not merely adornments; they are an invitation to immerse yourself in the city’s artistic legacy. A wide-brimmed hat offers in practically as much as it does in aesthetics by shielding you from the soaring sun.

Luggage
Bringing appropriate luggage to Venice is more important than you might think. Unless you’re indulging door-to-door water taxi service, be prepared to carry it on and off boats, up and down stairs and along cobbled alleyways. Fortunately, style doesn’t have to be sacrificed for durability when you know where to look.
FOR HIM
Brown Shirt
Adopting light fabrics like linen will allow you to maintain a sartorial edge during the summer months, which is always welcome in Venice. Earthy tones like these create a subtle and sophisticated look that mirrors the city’s palette of terracotta and warm tones. Wearing the shirt untucked gives an effortless vibe in the day, while tucking in for the evening feels more put together.
White Trousers
A pair of tailored trousers creates a formal foundation for your outfit, suitable for transitioning from museum to lunch to cocktail bar. These selects utilise light fabrics to keep the wearer cool despite warm conditions and the bold, white colour serves a practical non-heat absorbing quality, as well as extending an outward elegant appearance.
Light Knitwear
The days and evenings alike are warm enough to not warrant an additional layer, but to shake up your outfit with a new dynamic for that coveted restaurant reservations, try adopting the classic shoulder drape knit. This move is oftentimes associated with the preppy ivy league look, though when teamed up with a neutral palette and golden skin strikes a distinctive Italian quality of sprezzatura.
Suede Yacht Loafers
An effortlessly chic shape, these yacht loafers are ideal for days spent on your feet and hopping aboard boats. The rubber soles provide grip and comfort while the low profile, suede upper is soft and supple on the foot. These shoes can be teamed with shorts and trousers alike to suave effect.
Accessories
These gold-toned sunglasses complement the neutral tone of the outfit while adding a final touch of cool. Having a hat on hand might also come in handy, especially on those journeys across the lagoon under the sun’s direct gaze. Finally, keeping a camera by your side in this photographer’s playground is a must—the Leica D-Lux 7 is a powerful point and shoot that captures its subject with signature film-like quality.
Luggage
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, investing in good luggage is a wise move. Generally, luggage isn’t cheap, but we’re firm believers that it’s an item worth paying more for. Venice presents terrain that will put your luggage to the test, so it’s best to be prepared. Here are our favourite beautiful, but durable options that will rise to the occasion.
