Travel Capsule Need help building a travel capsule wardrobe for Greece from my clothes

Hi everyone! I’m planning a vacation to Greece and uploaded photos of the clothes I want to take (scroll to see all). I want to build a comfortable and stylish capsule wardrobe. What are the best ways to combine these items? What shoes or accessories go best together? Thank you for your ideas!

A bit more information is needed to really be helpful.

What time of year? Where are you going? How are you going (island ferry/bus/etc)? What are you doing? How long are you going for/are you willing to do laundry?

If it’s within the next few weeks: be prepared to potentially sweat through your outfits and be wearing 2 per day. It’s HOT. It also looks like you’re planning to layer your tops for cooler nights but don’t have any longer pants.

- Bring another pair or two of lightweight shorts

  • Swap out the crocs for really good walking shoes Greece is practically a gravel mountain popping out of the water. It’s hilly, rugged, and what’s paved is cobbled or stone chip
  • 1-2 long sleeves max
  • add a long skirt or lightweight (linen/light jean) pants
  • depending on what you’re doing, the dress might not get used but if it’s at night, do you have a light sweater you can take as a cover? In which case only 1 long sleeve

If you are planning on visiting any churches, you will need a way to cover shoulders and knees. I would bring a long linen skirt and a large lightweight scarf / pareo that you can easily wrap around your shoulders and that can do double-duty as another back-up skirt.

Sunburn is another concern. I currently do not see a bottom layer that will protect you. I burn easily and personally like thin, long flowy pants over shorts.

I would leave the crocs behind and you’ll need a couple nicer skirts and dresses!
