The edit: winter sun essentials

Holidays begin with a suitcase and, to simplify the packing process, luxury luggage brand Away is on hand. The carry-on case sports a polycarbonate hard shell in a range of colours, four 360° spinner wheels, removable USB charger and a compression system that maximises space.

French sunglasses brand Jimmy Fairly has made a splash in the UK with five bricks-and-mortar stores, including on the King’s Road and in Covent Garden. The universally flattering and unisex Fellini puts an angular twist on classic round silhouettes.

With our post-lockdown penchant for comfortable footwear, Moon Boots are back on the fashion agenda. The latest colourways are bolder than ever – in metallic silver or gold. Dip your toe into the trend (literally) with this pared-back shell and faux leather design.

Taking a leaf out of parent company Apple’s book, Dr Dre’s headphones have been downsized to tiny proportions. Small but mighty, they pack in eight hours of powerful sound with an additional two charges from the case – that’s sufficient battery life to withstand any long-haul flight. 

Apothecary-style Aussie label Aesop is a favourite of the celebrity set. This hardworking kit combines everything you’ll need in the skin, body and oral care department while abroad. It contains travel-sized toothpaste, mouthwash, cult Resurrection rinse-free hand wash, nourishing Resurrection Aromatique hand balm and more.

With retro 1980s feels, the all-in-one ski suit is having a major revival – with modern enhancements in fabrics but still with style in spades. Stand out on the slopes with this one-piece from Perfect Moment that has a star-spangled sherpa collar for intrigue. There’s skiwear for women, men and kids.

The dad sandal that has emerged over the last few seasons has had a luxe upgrade at Dior, where the chunky sole is juxtaposed with an elegant strappy upper in a bold leopard print (not forgetting Dior’s gold-finish signature) to combine both comfort and style.

Inject colour into your holiday wear with Harago. The brand was founded to celebrate the artisanal heritage of designer Harsh Agarwal’s native India, while the design is inspired by traditional pattachitra scroll paintings and has been created with hand-loomed silk and cotton.

If you’re not familiar with Hunza G, the cut-out dress worn by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman may ring a bell. This silhouette is one of the sustainable swimwear label’s most popular, with its signature seersucker construction and a rainbow array of colours. Kidswear is available, too.

Forget thick, laborious sun creams of time gone by, US brand Supergoop! is changing up the game. Its lightweight lotion makes daily UV protection more seamless, with invisible application, water and sweat-resistance and a beautiful, subtle scent.
