As I worked in Ibiza and traveled back and forth a lot:

I always bring:
1. One casual heel for dinner at some restaurants.
2. One pair of cute comfi sandals/slippers that I make sure that I already wear in the airplane. No sneakers!
3. One pair of plastic slippers for the beach.

4. Only two pairs of bathingsuits in case one is still wet from the day before.

5. Very little makeup because you won't use it once there because of all the heat/sweat. (I bring mascara, concealer, blush, browstuff, moisturizer, SPF.

6. Shorts and or skirts that can match all the tops you're bringing.

7. Comfi dress for the beach.

8. Cute, airy dress/outfit for dinner/evening events/walking around town.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for identifying the role of climate in our choices. This is always my first priority, whatever the season.

I always pack a ton of cute outfits for holiday and then end up wearing the same shorts and a baggy linen tshirt most of the time 😂 the heat always wins

I love the start of this video! How you went straight into your content without saying “now let’s get started!” Creators really don’t need to say that. Just skip that sentence.

900K subs! Bravo Lydia, your style sense is superb.

Very useful video. I have made some of these mistakes on a recent city trip. Can you make a similar video for a summer city trip with museums, nice restaurants and sightseeing involved? I have struggled with that one a little, especially with the blazer and bag.

[eileenmurray]

I find ribbed tank tops that are 100 per cent cotton without elastane are very cool in the heat as they don't cling and they get a bit looser when worn.

You are speaking my language now! I live in Florida and this is all perfect advice for every day living for me. It's always so hot and humid here, 9 plus months out of the year! We can easily get away with wearing workout clothes every day. These are all perfect suggestions for where I live. Thanks Lydia 🌞💛✨

[patriciarees]

How clever to focus on what not to pack! Very useful suggestions...very enjoyable video. Thanks!

instead of a cardigan or a blazer, I always bring a lightweight larger scarf (preferably silk) so I can use it during the day to protect my arms from the sun or cover myself when entering the church etc, but also at night as a cover up when going out for dinner. In my opinion it looks a little more feminine, and also takes up no room in your luggage.
Also, absolutely nothing polyester! I would still wear a pair of denim shorts - just a looser fit and a thinner fabric.

*Very good advices Lidia, In Spain where I live right now, there are many companies that create art in the form of wedge espadrilles, that are ideal from spring and summer*

[CynthiaMignella]

Great tips Lydia! I brought 10 linen blend tank tops in white, olive, taupe and black on my last vacation. I brought other tops as well, but these roll up so small and are so cool and comfortable. I didn't want to do laundry so having enough tops was perfect! My mistake was buying a silver crossbody that I thought would go with everything. In my pictures, all I see is that crossbody! I should have brought my black crossboody, but when packing, I thought it would be too dark. In hindsight, it would have just blended in much better.

[marycosgrove]

Great ideas Lydia. I do take a linen blazer. Ty so much.

[therabroni]

Really helpful vid, ur controversial ideas with the don’t ie denim shorts & tight vest tops were actually soo on point!!

[Cherry-bcjf]

Ms.Tomlinson, thanks for the advice on what to take along the trip🍒

[sofiamayr]

Wow these tips was really useful advice! I totally agree with the denim being a too hot fabric. Also jumpsuits are really unpractical when you have to use the toilet 😆 thank you for the video!

[polinabondarchuk]

I wish I watched this video before my Florida vacation because I 100% agree with the jean shorts and slim fitting tank tops!!

[carpiediem]

Perfect run-down and i can 100% concur as I've worn every piece on holidays

[ainhoagasquez]

Congratulations for the 900k, well done! Very useful video, thanks a lot

[carlosruiz]

I live in the South of Spain and this is totally “on point”
