The Art of Holiday Packing, the Aab Way

The Art of Holiday Packing, the Aab Way

At Aab, we believe that holiday dressing should be as easy as it is elegant — pieces that move with you, offer full coverage without compromise, and transition seamlessly from day to evening. This season, our Resort SS26 collection brings together lightweight textures, fluid silhouettes, and considered proportions to help you pack smarter, not heavier.

Why fit matters on holiday

At Aab, we’ve always believed that clothing should feel as good as it looks. And that starts with one simple truth: one length doesn’t fit all.

For too long, women have had to compromise when it comes to dressing full coverage — settling for pieces that are too long, too short, or simply not designed with their proportions in mind. A dress might fit perfectly at the waist but fall awkwardly at the hem, or offer the right coverage but lose its shape entirely. These frustrations are all too familiar, and they’re exactly what we set out to change.

That’s why our designs consider both size and length as essential elements, not afterthoughts — so wherever your holiday takes you, your wardrobe works with you, not against you.

The hero pieces to pack

Crochet Fern Kimono

Lightweight and effortlessly elevated, the Crochet Fern Kimono is your perfect layering piece for warm destinations.

Style it over a simple linen slip or wide-leg trousers and a sleeveless top for an easy daytime look. For the beach, throw it over your swimwear with oversized sunglasses and leather sandals. In the evening, cinch it slightly at the waist with a slim belt and pair with gold jewellery to add structure and polish.

Blue Retro Maxi

The Blue Retro Maxi is made for days when you want to feel put together with minimal effort. Its fluid silhouette and statement print make it a standout piece that requires very little styling.

Keep it relaxed with flat sandals and a woven tote for exploring local markets, or elevate it with heeled mules and a structured bag for dinner. A lightweight scarf in a complementary tone can add dimension while keeping the look cohesive.

Single Pleat Crochet Kaftan

Breathable, airy, and refined, the Single Pleat Crochet Kaftan is designed for ease without sacrificing elegance.

Wear it as a standalone piece with neutral slides for a clean, minimal look. For added definition, layer it over a tonal slip dress or soft trousers. It also works beautifully as a beach-to-lunch outfit — just add a straw hat and textured accessories to complete the look.

Cotton Co-Ord Set Grey

The Cotton Co-Ord Set in Grey is the ultimate travel companion — versatile, comfortable, and endlessly wearable.

Style the set together with white trainers and a crossbody bag for airport travel or daytime exploring. Separately, the top pairs effortlessly with tailored trousers or skirts, while the bottoms can be styled with a crisp shirt or lightweight knit. Add a silk scarf or bold sunglasses to elevate the simplicity.

Packing with intention

The key to a well-curated holiday wardrobe lies in choosing pieces that can be styled multiple ways while maintaining comfort and coverage. With thoughtful design at the core — from proportion to fabric — each piece becomes an essential rather than an extra.

This summer, pack pieces that allow you to feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourself — wherever you go.
