For most women, over-packing is as much of a holiday ritual as the preparatory pedicure, only more frustrating and a harder habit to break. Instead of emptying your entire summer wardrobe into your suitcase before setting off for sunny shores, pack smart. Seek out a perfect holiday dress (PHD) around which to build copious looks – think short, sleeveless and packing a hefty punch of print. This Peter Pilotto mini is a textbook PHD: equally at home over a bikini by the pool, with simple flat sandals, or with high heels and a lick of bright lipstick at cocktail hour. And with all the extra space in your case, just think how many pairs of shoes you can take! Oh dear...
