Ibiza is one of those destinations that cultivates loyal and committed devotees. Those who love it really love it, and so began the party island’s unofficial style uniform – glamour infused with bohemia. As life develops, what we wear evolves – we come to want different things from our wardrobes. So how to dress for Ibiza, the land of hedonism, when our idea of fun might have shifted beyond partying til dawn. Here’s our 15-piece packing guide, where a carefree spirit meets a grown-up attitude.Â
As with any holiday, the key to good packing is knowing what you need your clothes to do. Are you planning on partying on the beach, or are you someone more likely to spend evenings in poolside bars and open-air restaurants? IBIZA IS A PLACE WHERE FUN HAPPENS,so lean in sartorially – FRINGING IS HAVING A REAL MOMENT (I love Sea NY’s halter-neck top and Taller Marmo’s high-octane dresses are perfect for glamorous evenings, but Whistles’ black fringed LBD has more versatility), as is VIBRANT COLOUR; Nobody’s Child’s Rory jumpsuit in emerald green is a great option with true day-to-night potential. YOU’LL NEED A GREAT BEACH COVER-UP – this is a place where the kaftan stars; the holy grail is a glitter-flecked version from Missoni, but M&S and Accessorize do more affordable versions that will make you feel dressy enough for the bar.
Accessories are the most low-maintenance way of injecting glamour – oversized sunglasses are essential, but also consider a gold cuff, a headscarf or gem-stone earrings – glamorous but boho, Ibiza’s magic combination. If you do find yourself on an unexpected trip to clubland, make a beeline for Annie’s Ibiza or Vicente Ganesha – unmissable vintage treasure troves in the Old Town loved by Kate Moss.Â
