THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.
Good news: whether you prefer vacations or staycations, travel is finally back on the cards. Bad news: if you're anything like us, you've slumped into a slouchy quar-drobe and are sartorially starved of proper "clothes clothes" - those being nice ones that will carry you from café to museum to wine bar in one chic swoop.
Allow us to help you out. We've teamed up with KITRI to offer one lucky SUITCASE reader a £300 wardrobe update so you can kick off staycation season in style. That's not all. The winner will also snag an annual SUITCASE subscription - a regular stream of off-the-map travel inspiration delivered to their door throughout the year.
Not familiar with KITRI? Get to know them. Haeni Kim, a 20-something Londoner frustrated by the lack of well-made but affordable designer clothing, founded the brand in 2017. Since then, it's colonised the wardrobes of London's most discerning tastemakers with stealth, offering the style-conscious a buffet of vintage-inspired silhouettes made in small batches - so there's minimal waste and an even smaller chance of anyone stealing your look.
At KITRI, it's all about playful wardrobe staples: puff-sleeve prairie dresses that pair as well with trainers as they do sliders, ruched-waist blouses with milkmaid necklines and classic pieces trimmed with flirty ruffles, bows and whispers of maribou. It's the type of stuff you throw on and go, the garbs as befitting of a drowsy meadow picnic as a full-throttle city break and that, no matter where you are, seem to prompt that most flattering line of enquiry: "excuse me, where did you get that?"
Designed and produced entirely under lockdown, its new summer collection is awash with primary colours, fastened with opalescent shell buttons and decorated with naive floral prints designed to whet your appetite for late-summer getaways on home shores.
Prepare for staycation season by giving your quar-drobe the post-lockdown upgrade it deserves. To win, simply enter your email address below.

Models: Whinnie Williams, Kierra Campbell, Charlotte Williams
KITRI is run by a small group of creatives in London. The brand was born out of the frustration of not being able to find well-made, distinctive designs without breaking the bank. Since 2017 it has released weekly batches of premium-quality garments in exclusive quantities.
