Before a trip officially begins, there's that window of anticipation. Reservations? Confirmed. The weather app? Checked obsessively. Outfits? Scattered around the bedroom floor waiting to be folded into your suitcase. For fashion people, that might be the best part. And as a type-A luggage organizer (I have cubes, containers, vacuum sealers—you name it), I never pass up the opportunity to peek inside another editor's packing process. There's always a styling trick, unexpected pairing, or reminder to pack the fun piece you've been saving for the right occasion.
Ahead of her summer getaways—France, England, and a few staycations around her new city, Los Angeles—Who What Wear's associate fashion director, Eliza Huber, documented the packing process on her camera roll, styling pieces from Miu Miu L'Été 2026 as she narrowed down what would make it into her suitcase. And the collection is everything. There's crisp cotton poplin, washed chambray, and canvas separates in shades of navy, cerulean, white, and sand that practically beg to be thrown into a weekender. But in true Miu Miu fashion, the best parts are in the details: a scalloped collar here, a silk scarf there, a cowboy hat you've always dreamed of. It's the getaway wardrobe that makes getting dressed on vacation feel as exciting as the trip itself. And because everything goes together, you're spared the "but what do I wear it with?" spiral that leaves half your closet on the hotel room floor. (Been there.) Ahead, Eliza gives me the rundown on how she's styling and packing the collection—plus the looks that made her final list.
"There's something so easy about a matching set, especially one involving drawstring shorts, that makes them perfect for any summer trip. Sets like this one require zero thought, but you can also play around with layering and accessories to add intention and personality. The pink Vivant bag stands out against the otherwise neutral look, and the little collar and bikini pops are playful and summery. Plus, these shoes are like a grown-up version of the pair I wore when I was 10 years old. They bring a great, no-stress energy to a trip." — Eliza Huber, Associate Fashion Director, Who What Wear
"Vacation is the perfect time to play around with colors, patterns, and materials that you wouldn't pair together in your everyday life. Case in point: me in this olive suede bomber jacket, a colorful silk scarf, and an orange micro-floral miniskirt. It's unexpected in the best way, and the summer-coded shoes and bag bring it all together. And you can never go on any trip without a good jacket, even if you think it'll be warm the entire time you're gone. Just be strategic about the one you choose." — Huber
"Yes, you should pack that playful hat you own but have yet to wear. At least, that's what I'll be doing. That's what vacation dressing is all about—taking your everyday style on the go, but tweaking it to fit your OOO persona, which is always a bit more daring and playful. With this look, I'm especially obsessed with the washed-blue coloring throughout, particularly on the jacket, which is ideal for chilly summer nights." — Huber
"Who doesn't want to wear a bubble miniskirt on vacation? Even the name puts me in the mood to lounge around in the sun, explore somewhere new, and disconnect from reality. I especially love this one because it has a tailored yet sporty vibe, especially when styled with the matching oversize jacket. Pairing the set with flip-flops and a summery canvas tote brings the darker neutral hue into the current season." — Huber
