Packing for a getaway is already stress inducing, but it doesn’t get more so than when the flight is booked on an exciting but sudden impulse.  

You might have begun to sort your suitcase to find that your wardrobe lacks those all-important holiday pieces; a statement swimsuit with sunglasses to match, the perfect two-piece for exploring the streets then stopping for lunch, an effortless bag that can carry more than just your iPhone, we know the feeling!

Perhaps last year’s holiday outfits have lost their appeal, and you’d rather invest in new premium options guaranteed to be loved and last years longer. Whatever the reason for your going away style update, you'll find everything you need in our summer collections.

From sunrise-to-sunset, beach-to-bar, Club L London is your one-stop for all things ‘in’ for hot destinations. Look at our recommendations and find out what our in-house style experts and last-minute packers are taking on their summer getaways.

The beachside essentials

First and foremost, think about swimwear. Not the typical unsupportive styles that lose their luster in the sunlight and with every ocean dip, Club L London takes premium swim attire to new levels; offering skin-baring, figure-flattering swimsuits and bikinis in classic and Mediterranean inspired prints, perfect for a last-minute trip to the Sardinian coastline.

For a mid-sunbathe walk to the beach bar, we’ve found our sheer and crochet cover-ups tough to match. You might already have the perfect bikini and just need a cute wrap skirt or pair of trousers to complete your holiday swim-drobe. Here’s the splash-worthy swimwear by Club L London to fill those gaps in your suitcase.

For sightseeing in style

We always need those comfortable day-appropriate pieces - easy to throw on for trips to town markets, exploring landmarks or simply basking in the surrounding countryside of your summer destination. Consider breezy Bardot tops that pair effortlessly with relaxed trousers and trainers, or a quintessential (and very on-trend) sundress for a more elevated take on tourist attire.

For the pieces that will take you around the city, beach or island in style, see Club L London’s edit of the best daywear to take on a last-minute holiday.

The evening outfit change

There’s nothing better than a long day sipping sangrias on the beach, except maybe a long night sipping margaritas at the hotel restaurant. In case you haven’t thought about what your travel eveningwear looks like yet, slip into something light, airy and effortless or show off your holiday body in our figure-cinching jersey styles.

Whether it’s 5-star dining overlooking the ocean or a cosy meal in some hole-in–the-wall hot spot, Club L London have luxurious evening options to suit your style and restaurant tastes. Shop the full edit online, but don’t blame us if you extend your trip for more hot summer night outfit opportunities!

"I’ve bought 'Mahina' for my trip to Montenegro. The shape is so flattering and I can dress it up with a little heeled mule but also down with a sandal! The fabric is super soft and comfy - ideal for hotter temps."

In case of nights out

It might just be who we take on holiday, but from personal experiences, there’s always that one friend or family member who decides to turn an evening meal into a wild night out. Whether you know someone or that someone is you, make sure your suitcase is ready for dancing after dark with bold brights, sparkly hotfix and fluid silhouettes made to move as you move.

You might end up at a bar or a beach club, so don’t forget to pack stilettos that are as chic as they’re practical to match your going out outfits of choice. From vibrant dresses with fringe trims to spotlight-catching sequin trousers, Club L London has all your last-minute looks covered.

Your sun-ready accessories

So important but so easily forgotten on the last-minute packing list are sunglasses, bags, hats and jewellery. Don’t get caught out panic buying at duty free with our collection of must-have holiday accessories - perfect for the coast of Santorini, the city of Madrid or whichever warm weather location you’ve booked.

Our advice is to stock up on sunglasses (in case one pair goes missing!), pack a raffia tote bag that can carry anything and everything you need each day, ideally one that matches your sun hats. Finally, never underestimate the difference that rings, bracelets and necklaces can make to your holiday outfits – especially the talked-about styles of our limited edition Sia & Stars collection.
