THE MATERIAL ADVANTAGE: FABRIC THAT MOVES WITH YOU

When it comes to a capsule wardrobe for a holiday, fabric matters. Reiss’s fabric expertise ensures each piece is refined and designed for the realities of summer travel.

Linen is our seasonal cornerstone: crisp yet breathable, relaxed yet structured. Whether it’s a woman’s blazer or a man’s shirt, our linen blends are engineered to minimise creasing while remaining cool and lightweight.

Other highlights include our silk and viscose blends—fluid, elevated, and ideal for warm evenings—and lightweight cottons and technical fabrics that combine durability with comfort. Every stitch reflects Reiss’s dedication to construction and craft, offering garments that travel well and wear effortlessly.

DESTINATION-READY STYLING: ADAPTING YOUR CAPSULE

From Santorini to San Sebastián, your Reiss summer holiday wardrobe is ready to go. These 10 pieces adapt effortlessly to your destination of choice.

For coastal escapes, opt for light layers and add an oversized shirt for post-swim ease. For city breaks, loafers and a lightweight knit can smarten up your look. For rural retreats, lean into natural textures and earth tones.

Our tip? Adjust with intent: one added accessory or evening layer can transform the capsule without expanding your suitcase. Reiss design is rooted in versatility—every piece is made to meet the demands of multiple settings without losing its refined edge.

SUITCASE TIPS: THE REISS WAY TO PACK

Packing your capsule should be as seamless as wearing it. Roll rather than fold to prevent creasing, use cotton garment bags to protect delicate pieces, and pack by outfit, not by item, for ease on arrival.

Reiss garments are crafted to last, and proper care extends their lifespan. Hang linen and silk pieces after wear and avoid over-washing to keep them in great condition. A compact wardrobe supports a lighter footprint, championing both sustainability and elevated style.

INVEST IN THE ESCAPE

A thoughtfully curated summer wardrobe capsule empowers you to travel lighter, dress better, and do more with less. With Reiss’s signature sophistication and enduring quality, these ten pieces become your most stylish travel companions.
