16 COMPETITION Get all kitted out for summer hols
Sizzle this season and hit the shops
Some of you may be planning to head off on holiday next week while others are tied to the school holidays – less than a fortnight to go, folks!
Regardless of when you’re heading for some sun, sand and sea, getting packed can be a nightmare.
However, EK, East Kilbride is here to help!
Follow our guide to the perfect summer capsule wardrobe:
Dresses – remember cotton is going to help your skin breathe whereas polyester and heat could leave you feeling a little sticky. Think midi dresses for their versatility.
Shorts – consider taking three - casual denim that can be dressed up or down, a smarter pair that can see into the wee hours, and a classic pair that can be worn at any time.
Bag – you want something that is beach ready so look out for something that is roomy, bright, and has straps.
Sheer blouse – this can double up as a beach cover and dries quickly.
Flattering swimwear – bikini, tankini, one piece, whatever you are most comfortable in, pack it.
Shoes – you really just need a comfortable pair of sandals that can be worn all day. Go for a nude colour for easy transition.
Versatile scarf – it can get breezy at night so this can be worn around your neck or over shoulders; during the day it can be a sarong.
Whatever you need to pack, remember EK, East Kilbride is lined with shops that stock all the holiday essentials.
To help you spread the cost of getting summer ready, why not enter our competition for a chance to win a £50 EK, East Kilbride gift card?
