9 Clothing Essentials for Every Man’s Suitcase

Chasing trends can become exhausting; what’s “in” one day is “out” the next. That’s why at Love Brand we prioritise timeless style, crafting pieces that are designed to be worn for years to come.

Our range features men’s resort wear essentials that create a solid foundation for any holiday wardrobe. Think patterned linen shirts, old money shorts and matching son and father swim trunks. Whether heading to the Bahamian beaches or a bustling European city break, here’s our list of men’s travel essentials.

Designer Swim Shorts

Absolutely no holiday suitcase is complete without a pair (or several) of designer swim shorts. Whether looking for vibrant printed swim shorts, like our hero ‘Elephant Palace’ design, or a classic colourway (you can never go wrong with a good pair of blue swim shorts), we’ve got everything you need.

Our range of swim shorts is made from recycled materials. This helps save about 15 plastic bottles from going to landfills or our oceans. They’re quick-drying, so they're perfect for throwing into a bag after a dip to transition from beach to bar.

Linen Shirt

From patterned linen shirts to versatile neutral hues, a couple of good-quality linen shirts are a must for holiday adventures. Button-up and pair with linen trousers for dinner, or wear open over a tee for a more relaxed look.

Terry Towelling Set

Thanks to its looped texture, terry towelling naturally absorbs moisture, making it perfect for slipping into after a swim. Our men's towelling shorts are also great for lounging. They're perfect for relaxing at the end of the day, providing both style and comfort.

Baseball Cap

Whether it’s a bad hair day or you’re keeping shaded from the sun, a trusty baseball cap goes a long way.

Cotton T-Shirt

No wardrobe is complete without the humble t-shirt. Opt for a classic white or navy blue, and the styling options are endless. Pair with some cool men’s swim trunks for beach days, or throw under a linen hoodie for days spent exploring. Our t-shirts for men are all crafted from 100% cotton to keep you cool and comfortable even on the hottest days.

Linen Jacket

The epitome of understated luxury, a laidback linen jacket elevates any outfit. Pair with matching linen suit trousers and an ‘Abaco’ shirt for the perfect evening meal look, or throw on over a t-shirt for a relaxed daytime outfit.

Linen Trousers

A warm weather staple that strikes the perfect balance between comfort and refinement. Lightweight and breathable, they keep you cool in humid climates while still looking effortlessly put together. Neutral shades like brown, navy and white work hardest, pairing seamlessly with the rest of your holiday wardrobe.

Espadrille Shoes

When luggage space is limited, footwear needs to work overtime. Espadrilles are the ideal holiday shoe, lightweight, easy to pack and endlessly versatile. Equally at home by the pool or heading out for lunch, they offer a relaxed alternative to trainers while still feeling polished.

Travel Wash Bag

A great wash bag might not be worn, but it’s just as essential. Keeping all your grooming essentials organised makes travelling that bit smoother, especially when moving between destinations. Our ‘Elbow’ and 'Guana' wash bags are built for travelling, crafted from quilted cotton with handy pockets for storing essentials.

With these nine travel essentials, you’ll have a holiday wardrobe that’s versatile, timeless and built to last.
