A bag for your phone

GET some trainer liner sports socks if you don’t have them already (€20 for a three pack, sweatybetty.com). They are cushioned, comfy and allow you to show off your bare ankles in trainers, which is a fashion statement in itself.

I won’t insult your intelligence by telling you to take a decent pair of sunglasses for the sake of your eyes, but might just remind you that an excellent pair of shades will class up your look faster than a pair of Manolo Blahniks, and don’t leave it until the airport to get this sorted.

A case and strap for your phone, which otherwise will be in your hand all the time, is a good idea. You can spend €548 on Prada’s (prada.com) if you’ve just won the lotto, or go for a brand like Dune (€60, dunelondon.com) which also has a purse so you can be hands-free. With a smartphone carrier you want a strap long enough to wear on your hip in my opinion (left, €49, marksand spencer.com). The baseball cap is practically compulsory in fashion circles this summer and since it’s more portable than straw styles, and keeps the sun off your face, why look elsewhere? Only €12 at Accessorize.
