Closet Confessions: How I Pack For A City Break | Fashion Tips | Trinny

When I’m jetting off on a city break, I know I have a packing challenge ahead of me. It’s all about creating a capsule wardrobe of versatile pieces that I can mix and match for whatever occasion may arise, from sight-seeing to relaxing by the pool to evening drinks. For me, that means choosing complementary tones and taking a few handy items - like safety pins and hair-ties - that I can use to switch up my silhouette in an instant. Although I am usually a notorious over-packer, I think I might have cracked the hand-luggage code with this one…
Take a whistle-stop tour through Trinny Woodall’s (fifteen) wardrobes with Closet Confessions. In each episode, Trinny deep-dives into a particular section of her closet, mixing high street, vintage, designer and everything in between. This is everything you’ve ever wanted to know about fashion and styling, from the expert herself.

In my opinion the best closet confessions in ages…fantastic, useful, clever, accessible and the limited colour palette really worked. LOVE the curls too ❤

[@sallykins3800]

Ditto 😊

[@ana85ist]

She knows a lot about fashion and is always sharing tips,advice. I love closet confessions too.

[@losingmychic]

I LITERALLY CANNOT believe how you transformed from work out gear to dinner outfit in under 10 seconds….that’s another level of genius! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@SofiiaGrinkevych-rv3bf]

Shut the front door!!!! Like literally, Trinny your body is is just FABULOUS !!! Not even some 20 year old girls have that rocking body shape!!! Keep going girl!!! You are an inspiration for many of us🤩🤩🥰

[@Picalilli28]

Trinny’s energy in this one is everything! Could we have a work trip with outfits for working days at a conference (business casual) with some outfits for evening events or off duty day trips (smart casual) please? ❤❤

[@AI-rz5tu]

I'm living for Trinny's closet confessions!

[@sallykins3800]

Firstly, I want the tonic she has just taken, she seems giddy, full of life and looks younger than her last video. Secondly what a lovely set of clothes, the first dress was 👌🏻then the next outfit 😊 , superb.

[@charlotteeshun1393]

I could watch closet confession every day and Not get tired of it. It's so encouraging how you work contrasting or complimentary colors. ❤❤❤. Always,

[@sarahmurphy-nf4yl]

The curly hair and red lip 💄 👄 together LOOK amazing 👏 😍VERY French looking... gorgeous.

[@jillf24]

did she get a perm? I am trying to figure it out.

[@susanparsons9365]

Natural texture

[@laineydunlop2161]

As much as I love every Closet Confession that was one of my favourites. The ideas, practicality and simplicity was just amazing. Watching it I thought that I totally over complicate what I take on holiday “just in case”. This covered all the bases and I’m hoping will revolutionise my holiday wardrobe for the rest of the year. Amazing as always Trinny. Thank you. Off now to pre-order your book. 😀❤️

[@joannemonk3302]

Trinny has her mojo massively back which is so so good to see xxx

[@JBUHJBUH]

Have you heard of the 'TopTote' hat clip? Would make it easier to just clip it to the outside of your bag when you can't wear on your head (like going through airport security). Another vote for doing a modest wardrobe (capsule), please - could be useful for travel but also dealing with freezing airport AC!

[@suzy7417]

You are in fabulous shape Trinny. I would love to know what you do to keep you looking so good. 😃

[@shaemorr]

Is anyone else nervous watching Trinny back up near those stairs!! Otherwise fun Closet Confessions

[@mariabento4624]

Perfect way to play around what we bring on a light luggage: more outfits carrying less is what we all wanted. I feel that choice of blue apart from brightening our skin is timeless and ageless with a curled hair 🤗👏

[@annafrufru2962]

Trinny, maybe it's time for a Zara shop up? I would love to "go shopping with you" Please consider ❤

[@realreviews4017]

The grey and blue long dress (day one) is perfect. I wish clothing designers went down this road more with dresses. I am not one for florals or too much pattern and these are perfect for day or night, if they made more like this I would have a dress collection, but sadly a lot of dresses are just too much. Too fussy and not easily dressed down.

[@DebraHowell-eo4xx]

To be honest I thought this one would be a little boring. But when Trinny whipped that hair up and fell to the floor, I cheered. It was all very entertaining!!🎉

[@reenie.c143]

One of the best closet confessions!! Absolutely inspired and totally genius!

[@niranjanavijyaraghavan3666]

Please do a video of how to dress up for warm toned golden complexion, the choice of colors that glows up the face. TRINNY you are a magician 😮

[@nicolebeauchamp7622]

I love how a belt can transform so many things so simply.

[@AW-wo2pm]

Brilliant closet confessions! And your natural hair looks great Trinny

[@1Kaileegirl]

Loved this loved every outfit Trinny made it look so easy If I had 3 wishes 1st wish, shrink 3 kgs to fit Trinnys wardrobe 2nd wish, spend a week in Trinnys wardrobe 3rd wish, that a week stretched into a month How happy I would be 😀

[@Mary-ik1zf]

Navy and silver looks so good together.LOOK GORGEOUS AS EVER Trinny

[@annekupillasfineart]

I’d love to see a matching COS scarf with the prints as a real Grey Gardens moment 😊

[@fannyt3076]

May I suggest quiet luxury mixing high and low brands as a next closet confessions? Marci!

[@PrimaVera_incontato]

Closet confessions idea/ request: can you have a city summer look wearing a hat but not looking too beachy? It's a real struggle for me the hot sunny weather season. I'd love to see your approach.❤

[@teresacarle294]

🤗Hi Vira: I thought Trinny made an excellent choice here. Know Panama style & woven hats that skew masculine〰️don't always suit me😔. Could always do with more 🌞hat options. 👒 Realised recently that most of my wide brim hats looked 💒church/garden wedding💍 &/or beachy 🏖. Would love an elegant resort option that could be worn from seaside to a city setting 🏙 for a lunch or museum date. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@audreywilliams705]

Thanks for this ladies!! Really appreciated this one!! Remember to do one for us ladies in year long summer countries! Different lifestyle looks you would suggest for us - work, running errands, going out, etc

[@melanieheron6546]

I’ll never tire of watching and being inspired by you Trinny ~ wonderful!

[@rowan3946]

Love the curls and your body is toned to perfection🇨🇦❤️🇬🇧

[@NoodlesMusings]

I loved this. Wouldn't it be great if there was a button to press and buy this whole capsule wardrobe in one click 😂

[@ninanaranong6521]

Excellent VDO! Thanks! 🥰

[@eteldias5176]

Trinny is so creative.😮

[@marymohagheghi4875]

Now this woman has STYLE🎉🎉🎉

[@stephaniemyerscough1976]

Trinny... your vibe lately; your look, your figure.....its beautiful. Whatever you're doing is looking so wonderful on you. Wishing you every happiness!!! Loved this video!!

[@dorisbeckish580]

These are ALL MY FAVORITE looks and styles, including your curly or natural hair style Trinny!

[@tigist2272]

I've said this before and I'm going to say it again I love her so much what a fabulous beautiful Lady! She can pull off anything❤

[@sarahmurphy-nf4yl]

Trinnys gilets are like Joe's Rogans grizzly bears....they sooner or later creep into EVERY conversation 😁 🤣 😂 ❤️ Navy gilet look for evening is BEAUTIFUL. OK...I'm gonna pull out my gilets after this.

[@kanavera1]

Just in time for my next trip! 😊

[@JBUHJBUH]

Great capsule (really need to get myself a gilet) but even greater HAIR - love your curls here!

[@natashadavies6138]

Love Jermima and Molly laughing in the background! You guys are having great fun! It’s hilarious 😂

[@WackyCookies]

Adorbs! Thank you for sharing Triny. Going to NYC for a week with VERY limited space..Taking notes.

[@janemilroy2667]

You are such a cool chick ...... style extraordinary .. enthusiasm boundless ... love ya Trinny

[@TheSwimmom1]

So inspirational. We are going on a 2 week bus tour to Northrn Italy at the end of September. I have been on the fence about going hand luggage only and I now believe I can do it and not look like a frumpy tourist. Thanks Trinny!!!

[@user-he1qt4ep6e]

Any tips on how to keep the clothes smelling and feeling fresh when recycling them on holiday?

[@ileanameillon7294]

Love the outfits, as well as your curly hair that has the perfect volume!

[@morenadefuego71]

Loved this! ❤ Off to Morocco, Fez, Chefchaoen and Tangier in early May and this colour palette is perfect. Would love some chic modest looks for a trip that will take in some fancy dinners, wandering around in the souks and the Medina as well as a few road trips! x

[@sarahmurphy-nf4yl]

GREAT 👍 👌 👍 loved EVERYTHING. Looking forward to seeing things YOU BOUGHT recently video. Thanks Trinny.

[@kimberlyauinbauh8007]

I LOVE this and would be so grateful for more travel/pack videos for other cities or climates!! Like what would Trinny pack for Napa Valley or Tokyo?

[@ourhealingvoice]

Oh this was really really really good.... loved it , so free and energising ... with love for navy and eternal blues ....

[@traceywoodward3136]

Fantastic!!! So helpful. ❤

[@beautybites1393]

BRILLIANT! All ideas coming to Portugal/Spain on May 1. Thx Trinny!!

[@jillf24]

Absolutely love the new "space" I spot that balcony-what a great place to "Chat with Trinny" !!!!

[@annaallington2616]

So many great ides. I have to confess that I've just packed 2 suitcases for 6 days in Marrakesh. The weather is going from 15 - 37 . I aspire to be as organised as you, Trinny.

[@syrinemetzger79]

I need you to pack for me 😅 I love this week’s episode : so useful and I loved the chaotic energy !!!! Molly’s excitement definitively matched mine ❤

[@CountieLt25]

Trinny my favorite way to pack is picking a color and sticking to it! Usually it is blue! Love the idea of a more modest wardrobe but I immediately thought you meant price!!! Both ideas have merit!

[@tansee78]

Best video of the series!

[@juliehanns802]

Please can we have a session on dressing for a wedding? My daughters is at the end of the year and I just can't decide what to wear!

[@Tsmcjk]

Wow. You're a legend Trinny

[@elizabethhealey5609]

Trinny ! I love watching you video and thank you for you inspiration fashion style ideas🥰

[@msmaine5179]

Love your hair Trinny! Looks modern and fresh 😍

[@cassyalexander]

Just bought this dress! Can't wait to get it in the mail.

[@carolecoles-ranson6124]

Brilliant closet confessions.Please could you do wedding guest /special occasions with trousers rather the dresses.x

[@janetthomas8244]

Would love to see the new purchases. Love the curls.

[@mareesimonis7656]

Very clever capsule, emphasising the practicality of buying things that can all work together .. you need a lot less. Loved it all except the ‘dress as a skirt’ moment. Trinny, your hair is looking fabulous!!! Xx

[@jdesroches344]

Love ur curly waves in this episode!

[@tempest510]

My favorite colors to wear black, gray, white, and blue... I want everything in this edit, absolutely inspired! 💖

[@gma2039]

Love the pattern mixing in the casual oufit!

[@artijoshi9846]

Great episode! Could you please do a minimalist wardrobe for someone who LOVES a varied colour palette and tends to stay away from neutrals? So like a maximal minimalist haha! 🥰 xx

[@sharonevans6261]

You are so brilliant with packing for travel. I really enjoy the inspiration.

[@sher916]

Love all your looks! Going to Spain and Portugal in early October. I want to step up my style from the last trip to Italy. I’ll be 75 in October but Trinny and Diane Keaton are my role models! Thanks for any suggestions.

[@dianebaldwin-cv1og]

Very interesting ideas. Wish I had a figure like that

[@sophiehaynes9797]

Love this one sooo much. I really like inspiration on how to wear the same item several ways. Good tips.

[@gillsargisson8863]

Some fab ideas and options thank you Trinny. My 2 favourites are, the belted waistcoat (I will need to pop a bralet or something under, and the back to front dress belted with the deep V. Amazing 🤩 x

Brilliant. Loved all the looks. Thanks Trinny.

[@chitrarajeshkumar3296]

AMAZING TRINNY!

[@monread0029]

Lovely outfits. The dress doesn't seem to be in stock anymore but the trousers are. If someone is desperate to recreate the outfit, Saint and Sofia has a similar top, Hanna plisé.

[@simoling]

Brilliant. It's like a capsule for travel.

[@bettyboop8529]

Love leggings under a long dress. Those summer evenings that turn chilly.. or a breezy coastal location.. get those rolled up leggings out your handbag! 👍

[@catharinahendrick5824]

Trinny is a genius! 😊 Learn so much from her and want to travel with her anywhere! 🎒👙😎
