With winter in full swing, it’s officially time for the annual mass exodus to Europe. If you haven’t jetted off yet, that only means one thing — it’s time to start packing. One of the hardest things about packing is fitting all your outfits in one suitcase. That’s where sunglasses and accessories come in. They’re a simple and easy way to elevate or transform a look — no outfit change required. The best bit? Accessories don’t take up much space in your luggage, which means you can go crazy and pack all your favourites.

This year, we’re opting for timeless, stylish yet practical pieces, perfect for a European getaway. We’re talking statement beaded necklaces, raffia basket bags, and 90s-inspired shades, just to name a few.

To save you from a frantic last-minute packing frenzy, we’ve rounded up the Euro summer accessories you should pack for your 2025 trip. You can thank us later.
