UNIKSPACE offers so many stylish options for a tropical getaway. The Byron Shirt in Shell was, without a doubt, the most versatile piece I packed. I wore it on the plane with cords underneath, out for breakfast with my Birkenstocks, and dressed it up with strappy sandals for dinner.
The Turner Jumpsuit was another versatile favourite, perfect for breakfast, a day at the beach, fabric shopping, and meetings.
I alternated between the Burns and Cooper sets throughout the week, packing them in various colours. They’re ideal for hot, steamy days, with the side splits on the Burns allowing a cool breeze to flow through.
For an effortlessly elegant look, the Maya Skirt and Tulum Top took me from sunset drinks to evening dinner with ease. And the Ibiza Kaftan was the perfect dress for a sunset bar, transitioning seamlessly into dinner. The side splits kept me cool while the sleeves offered just the right amount of protection as the evening breeze set in."
ELIN
Usually, I know exactly what I want to bring for a summer getaway and can pack with confidence, picking out my favourite holiday pieces. But this time, being 30 weeks pregnant, I made sure to try everything on beforehand to ensure it suited my growing bump before it earned a precious spot in my suitcase.
What turned out to be the number one winner for me was the Joss tunic in white together with the Cooper shorts. I wore this both to meetings during the day and out for dinner in the evening.
Other favourites I wore numerous times throughout the week was the Turner jumpsuit, the Anya kimono in Shell, and the Byron shirt in Shell and White. I also wore the Austen dress and Valentina silk jumpsuit out for dinner in the evening, both cool enough for the tropical heat while having that chic cocktail look when you want to be a bit extra dressed up.
Hope this helps when you're packing for your next getaway to warmer degrees, or shopping for the Australian summer.

I always like to go the neutral/solid colour route because they’re versatile, chic and pretty effortless when it comes to mixing and matching different pieces of items together.
No matter where I’m travelling, I’ll be packing an oversized button up shirt like the Nic shirt. It’s super versatile, laid-back and you can pretty much wear it with anything! Throw it over your swimmers as a beach cover up, pair it with shorts or a pair of pull on linen pants like the Jonathans. I’ve paired mine with my silk jumpsuit, to take me from day to night. Personally, it’s a most worn winner for me.
I would say that the Valentina jumpsuit saves me every time I’m going somewhere so it’s always with me in my suitcase as well. It’s so transeasonal and a great holiday piece as you could wear it to so many different occasions. It’s super flattering but also comfortable to wear.
If there was a perfect airport/travelling piece it has to be the Anya linen kimono. So comfy and easy to throw on. It’s also a piece I put on in the morning while eating breakfast, or over my swimmers, but also for the evening I wear it as an alternative to a blazer by using the belt that comes with it. A must have in my travel wardrobe.
As always, I pair all my holiday looks with my Bali Tailor sandals. They are so comfortable and work with everything I have in my wardrobe.
