The Summer House Wardrobe – Your Permanent Backup
Short answer: The best holiday home clothing is soft, temperature regulating and easy to wash, so it can stay in the wardrobe from weekend to weekend. Bamboo clothing works well as a permanent reserve, because it suits cool mornings on the terrace as well as mild afternoons, and it stays fresh even when it hangs in the wardrobe for a long time.
Why bamboo is good holiday home clothing
Clothes at the holiday home need to do it all: keep you warm in the evening, breathe during the day and look tidy when the neighbours drop by. Bamboo viscose moves moisture away from the skin and helps regulate temperature, so the same set works in changing weather from morning to evening.
The advantage of a permanent reserve
When clothes are already waiting at the holiday home, you only need to pack the essentials. It makes it easier to leave at short notice, and you avoid forgetting things. Your bag gets lighter, and the weekend can start the moment you unlock the door.
What should be in the wardrobe?
A good basic kit is a bamboo tracksuit for men or a soft set from bamboo loungewear for women, a few extra socks and underwear, and a warm bamboo hoodie for the evenings. That way you are never short of anything, even if the weather changes.
Layers for changing weather
The weather on the coast can change quickly, and mornings are often cool, even in summer. Build the wardrobe in layers: a T-shirt closest to the skin, a hoodie over it and perhaps a jacket on top. Then you can take layers off when the sun comes out and put them back on in the evening.
Clothes that can stay in the wardrobe
A holiday home is often closed for periods, and clothes can pick up a musty smell. Many people find that bamboo stays fresher than other materials. Wash the clothes before you close up the house, and let them dry completely before they go in the wardrobe. A bag of lavender or cedar can also help.
A fixed set for each person
If you share the holiday home, it can be a good idea to have a fixed set for each person. Browse the range of bamboo for men for the basic pieces for him, and choose a couple of soft lounge sets for her. When everyone has their own set, there is no doubt about who borrowed what.
Washing and care at the holiday home
Many holiday homes do not have a tumble dryer, which suits bamboo well. Wash at 30 to 40 degrees with a mild detergent, and hang the clothes to dry on a line or rack. Bamboo dries quickly, especially in a light breeze outdoors. Avoid many hours of direct sun, so the colours last.
In short
A permanent reserve at the holiday home makes it easy to get away and gives peace of mind when the weather changes. Choose a tracksuit or lounge set, a hoodie and enough socks and underwear for a weekend. Bamboo works in both cool and warm hours and stays fresh in the wardrobe between visits.
