The Oz Resort Guide to Packing Light for Your Next HolidayYou've booked the flights, planned the itinerary and started counting down the days. Now comes the fun part – packing. After helping women choose swimwear and resortwear for over 35 years, we've learnt that most people pack far too much. The secret to stress-free travel isn't a bigger suitcase. It's choosing versatile pieces that work together. Whether you're heading to Port Douglas, Bali, Fiji, Noosa, a cruise holiday or Europe, a carefully planned wardrobe will take you further than an overflowing suitcase. Our biggest tip? Choose a colour palette and stick with it. Navy, white, black, sand, denim and natural tones all work beautifully together and allow you to mix and match almost everything you pack. For a one-week holiday, this is our ideal packing list. 1. Two Lightweight TeesA couple of easy-wear tees will take you from breakfast to sightseeing and everything in between. Our Italian-made La Strada tops are perfect for travel. Lightweight, breathable and easy to wash overnight, they take up almost no room in your luggage. 👉 Shop La Strada Tops: 2. Two Long Sleeve ShirtsA great shirt is probably the hardest-working item in your suitcase. Wear it over swimwear to the beach, over shorts for lunch, or with pants for dinner. Our best-selling Painter's Shirt has become a customer favourite because it's lightweight, relaxed and long enough to throw on without feeling exposed. The pockets are perfect for sunglasses, room keys and holiday essentials. 👉 Shop Shirts & Cover Ups: 3. Two Pairs of ShortsOne neutral pair and one fun holiday pair is usually enough. Our Sunseeker and Jantzen board shorts are quick drying, comfortable and easy to wear over swimmers. They work just as well for beach walks as they do for sightseeing. 👉 Shop Shorts: 4.

Pack Less, Enjoy MoreTry not to fill your suitcase before you leave. A 20kg suitcase gives you room to bring home those special finds, gifts and holiday treasures without worrying about excess baggage fees. A few well-chosen pieces that work together will always outperform a suitcase full of clothes you never wear. After all, the best holidays are spent making memories, not dragging heavy luggage through airports.
