What to pack for summer
Style and practicality are not always at odds, especially when you go on vacation.
While women often tend to be, so to speak, 'baroque' in packing their suitcases, the pragmatic nature of men means that they often end up leaving with a toothbrush and nothing more than what they wear. In reality, you don't need loads of baggage to be elegant, especially when you go to the beach. Just opt for minimalism, mix the classics artfully and take care to fold everything up neatly, without crumpling your clothes in your suitcase.
Here's how to travel light and be the coolest on the coast with just over twenty items.
Three patterned swimwear, strictly swimming shorts, please, to wear with a shirt or polo shirt to go to the beach. Slippers on your feet or, for the more fashionable, espadrilles. A panama and sunglasses to add a touch of mystery.

A panama and sunglasses to add a touch of mystery. Five shirts, in linen or cotton, three polo shirts and four t-shirts. In classic colors, not to go wrong: white, blue, military green, mélange gray, burgundy.
Perfect for the evening, with Bermuda shorts, jeans or long linen or cotton trousers, boat shoes or sneakers. Beach slippers are strictly forbidden after dark.
A cotton sweatshirt or sweater for cooler evenings.
Nothing else is needed. Except, possibly, a laundromat and a little sea breeze to dry your laundry.
