You’ve been dreaming of another holiday with your beau — and that’s completely acceptable. Summer’s fast approaching and you want to spend as much time as possible with them. Staying at home doesn’t quite cut it, you’ve been there, done that and bough the t-shirt. Why not book a flight and go and take in some all-important culture? Go and indulge in a new city, and in each other’s company.
Considered Riga, Latvia?
If you’re obsessed with cute, sandy beaches, then you’ll enjoy a trip to this city. For more casual occasions, you can walk by one of the iconic rivers. If you’re going to head to the Latvian capital in the summer time you can expect sunshine and a comfortable temperature — but if you’re venturing out at night time, it certainly isn’t California, so we’d strongly advised taking a jacket.
Packing for boys:
You don’t need to worry about style too much in this city, but we know you’ll want to look good for those Instagram pictures. Don’t try and over-style it just keep things casual. We suggest a pair of skinny jeans, a neutral coloured t-shit, bomber jack and boots. As we’ve mentioned, the evenings can get chilly, so we would suggest a pair of gloves and a scarf, but don’t sacrifice style when purchasing these.
Packing for girls:
Similar to your boyfriends style, you don’t have to overdo it here either. In order to remain fashionable, a funky top, topped off with a pair of dark loose mom jeans, and a denim jacket. Bright shoes can be simple but enough to make you stand out here. When it comes to dinner, the evening meals in Riga offer you the real opportunity to dine in class. Therefore, this is your time to shine — maxi dresses are the perfect way to pack a punch and look a million dollars in the evening. Top it off with a faux fur coat and heels.
Considered Plovdiv, Bulgaria?
Significant in both its historic culture and romantic trails, this location is perfect for couples who are just in the beginning stages of their relationship. We suggest looking into the activities you want to participate in before you head there. Will you be heading to the world’ most intact ancient theatre or taking a trip to an aviation museum? The choice is yours.
Packing for boys:
Weather can be impromptu, so make sure that you take a jacket with you. A crisp white shirt looks great when going out for the evening and pair with some denim jeans. We recommend opting for some trainers in this city — you’ll nail the smart-casual look.
Packing for girls:
Pack a cute tee and pair with loose fitting mom jeans and flat trainers. Take a backpack to keep your belongings in and a jacket for when you get cold walking back to your hotel. In the evening, a choose from one of your bold dresses and you’ll look phenomenal. Remember to opt for a wedged boot too!

This destination has so much to offer. From partying in the main square to visiting castles and cathedrals, make sure you have enough time to explore everything.
Packing for boys:
We’ll know that this will be the future filming location for all rom-coms, it’s truly stunning. Stay casual for daytime adventures with a striped tee, leather jacket and some denim jeans.
