MEET YOUR HOLIDAY HEROES
The perfect wardrobe for a getaway
COVER
The white denim dress PERFECT FOR Evening dinner dates
Forget the 1980s connotations and embrace an ivory denim dress in a well-fitted cut. Wear with oversized shades and courts to inject a dash of Jackie O style, and let’s not forget the white-dress-plus-sun-kissed-skin bonus, too!
The cropped jumpsuit PERFECT FOR Day to evening
A jumpsuit should be your summer holiday staple, and this linen cropped-leg style is perfect: smart enough for a special trip yet comfortable enough for a day of bargain hunting and sightseeing. You could wear it with box-fresh white trainers for a super-casual look, or team with suede block heels in punchy red to hit the cocktail bar.
The gingham dress PERFECT FOR After the beach
Do you always pack two outfits for the beach? Not any more. This linen dress in a gorgeous gingham is the ideal cover-up to take you from swimming to sightseeing (or the bar!). Just throw it over your swimsuit and go. It really is a hardworking holiday hero.
The short shorts PERFECT FOR Any time
If ever there’s a time to wear short shorts, it’s on holiday. We know they can be daunting, but if you go for a style that’s not too tight and has a bold pattern, like this striped pair, you’ll be surprised at just how they can flatter your shape. A longer-sleeved top to cover up the arms and balance out the shorts keeps it all feeling rather sophisticated. And that basket bag? Well, that’s just fun!
The vest, shorts & sandals PERFECT FOR Lazy lunches
Keep it casual when heading for an alfresco lunch by wearing a vest top and shorts combination. If you choose a checked top, balance it out with simple bottoms. Flat sandals with ankle straps and leather details stop the preppy print looking twee.
The casual dress PERFECT FOR All-day lounging
The hunt for the perfect day dress is over. This straight figure-hugging number looks great on hourglass shapes, slimmer physiques and those with curves. And the idea that horizontal stripes make you look wider is just a myth: stripes that go across actually have a flattering effect!
The vintage print PERFECT FOR Wearing in holiday snaps!
A floaty feminine dress in a vintage-inspired print is not so much about dressing for a particular event as it is about creating a certain feeling. We can’t explain it, but it just makes you feel good. And who doesn’t want that on holiday? Slip on some simple flats and top it off with retro-style shades to feel every inch the old-school movie star.
The oversized bag PERFECT FOR Your beach essentials
Swimsuit? Check. Jumper to throw on later? Check. Shades, sun cream and must-read holiday novel that you’ve been looking forward to picking up for weeks? Check, check, check! But how will you carry all that to the beach? In a stylishly spacious oversized bag, of course. If your outfit has a nautical theme, choose a bag in bold stripes to pull the whole look together.
The pink combo PERFECT FOR Daytime glamour
Pink does not have to mean girlie. Think boldly elegant striped tops teamed with tailored shorts in a soft pastel shade for those days when you want to look sophisticated in the sunny weather. Earn extra style points with a striped neck scarf in contrasting hues, such as cream and navy.
The A-line skirt PERFECT FOR Sightseeing trips
When you’re out and about taking in the local sights, a sleeveless top and A-line skirt will keep you feeling as cool as you look. This full skirt nods to the 1950s, while the modern paint-effect stripes make it great for this season. The shape will create a waist and hide a fuller bottom. It’s a real multitasker, and you’ll be glad you packed it.
