What To Pack For A Staycation

Packing tends to be a last-minute nuisance – and nine times out of ten you’ll forget something. If you’re staycationing this summer, here’s a packing check list to take the pain away. From shorts and sweatshirts to trunks and gilets, these are the items you shouldn’t go away without.

Classic Shorts

 
Essential for: Busy beach days and warm BBQ evenings alike.
Make sure: You get the length right – no board shorts or bulky pockets, please. You’ll want at least a couple of pairs.
