If you’re planning on spending most of your getaway alternating between beaches and bars then a cool cover-up is a true essential. For easy-going glamour, a sheer printed kaftan makes a considered choice – throw on over your bikini and style with your favourite pair of sandals.
Cami tops and shorts are two of the most hard-working pieces in any holiday wardrobe and when worn together, create the ultimate heatwave-ready combination. Stick to classic colour palettes of white and navy, and elevate with a pop of yellow and metallic accents – perfect for a day of sightseeing.
Striking and seemingly effortless, a sweeping sun dress is a must-have for any far-flung destination. Embroidered with pretty blue blooms, this floaty white midi comes with a hanky hemline that was made to catch summer’s soft breeze – wear yours with sandals for the beach, swapping to wedges when it’s time to head out for evening drinks.
Linen falls into favour every summer, thanks to its breathability and all-round comfort in the heat. Bring the warm-weather fabric into your suitcase selection with a pair of striped culottes that you’ll be wearing with all of your basics, from strappy camis to lightweight tees. For a stylish twist, team yours with a boho blouse in crisp white cotton, finishing the look with metallic accessories.
Form-flattering and beautifully versatile, the off-shoulder dress is a key item in any capsule holiday wardrobe. Finished with rows of ruffles and a dropped hemline with scallop-edge trims, this shoulder-baring midi in classic navy can be easily styled up with a bold cross-body bag and wedges for rooftop cocktails. Want to dress it down? Just add a pair of sandals.
