Staycation style!
Give a boost to your wardrobe — and to British brands and jobs
USUALLY at this time of year, we are packing our suitcases, stocking up on suncream and flying off to exotic climes. While things haven’t quite returned to normal, restrictions are starting to loosen which means at last we have the opportunity to dress up and venture out. Even if we are staying local for holidays this year, there are so many wonderful places to visit in the UK.
These isles are blessed with rolling hills, ancient woodlands, sandy beaches and shimmering lakes, so there’s truly something for everyone, no matter how you like to spend your leisure time. While shopping for your staycation styles, look out for some great ‘Made in Britain’ fashion. Classic styling and highquality sustainable fabrics are a fantastic addition to the summer wardrobe and, by supporting British brands, we can help safeguard jobs and give the economy a much-needed boost.
So, for some staycation inspiration, plan your wardrobe around your holiday itinerary. Smart, comfortable separates are perfect for sightseeing and comfy for city breaks. Lightweight trousers with dressy tops are always useful and practical in our often-unpredictable British summer. Stepping out for the first time in months gives us an excuse finally to pull on a dress — pretty prints are perfect for English afternoon teas or relaxing evenings at a lovely restaurant.
If you can’t resist some sea air and the feel of sand between your toes, head to the coast. Britain has so many seaside towns, from Brighton to Whitby and Holkham to Llandudno.
Look out for some flattering swimwear, essential tankinis and stylish cover-ups for some quintessential coastal style.
