We couldn't believe our luck when we found IRO's fitted zip jacket (£284). Its enduring style is the ultimate in chic and can be paired with your favourite skinny jeans.

This gorgeous asymmetric CK one-piece swimsuit (£83) is great value and perfect for poolside poise. Cut to flatter any shape, it's cleverly understated, so you can wear it with complete confidence at the coolest hotels.

A classic asymmetric one-shoulder silk dress by legendary label Halston Heritage (£395) is an excellent packing choice for bright city lights.

Switch your usual tailored shorts for the Tommy Hilfiger (tommy.com) broderie-anglaise ones (£165). They look super-fresh with a soft tailored jacket or silk T-shirt and heels.

The Vida Vida distressed leather overnight bag (£195) is the answer for carry-on luggage.

Ash's strappy sandals (£155) go with everything, from smart trousers to evening shifts, saving space in your suitcase.

The Gigi jean (£175) is J Brand's hot new shape for summer. The clever cropped flare cut makes them look just as good with flats as with heels, to take you from day to night.

One of our best finds is the Tweezerman Travel Eyelash Curler (£13). It's non-metallic, so you can pop it into your carry-on bag without setting off any alarms, and it's less harsh on eyelashes.

The Valorie clutch by Anya Hindmarch (£250) is one of our most desirable treats. The metallic bronze goes with everything, leaving you ready to dazzle.

We adore the functional yet beautiful Becca make-up products. Pack the Avalon palette (£55) to take your daytime make-up into evening, all in one slim mirrored case.

Terre de Bois is one of Miller Harris' classic perfumes. The handy, breakage-free 50ml travel size (£40) is easy to stow away in your luggage.

All the above are available from style-passport.com (unless stated).
