The effortless throw-on-and-go dress
Versatility is key when packing, and you'll find that a beach-to-bar dress is an essential piece to take with you. This sweeping maxi bandeau dress is the perfect choice: ideal as a stylish cover-up and equally chic for evening drinks or dinner. Transform from day to night-time plans with leather sandals and chunky gold earrings.
For something shorter, a long strappy dress offers the same versatility: wear with mules during the day to keep cool and dress up with kitten heels for a night out.
Our must-have holiday dresses
Adventure-proof, kid-approved outfits
Get little ones ready for their big adventure with favourites they'll return to all summer long. Sun-soaked days start with billowy dresses thrown on over their swimsuits, effortlessly transitioning from beach to resort in style.
For exploring the city, choose an easy co-ord in a tropical-inspired print to amp up the holiday vibes. Team with a comfortable pair of sandals or clogs in a vibrant colour to match.
Don't forget to pack swimsuits and swim shorts for those crucial dips in the pool to cool off.
Sunshine-ready swimwear
The go-to holiday shirt
No summer holiday wardrobe is complete without an easy, breezy summer shirt. Even if you’re normally a fan of more muted dressing, come the higher temperatures, it’s time for something a little more eye-catching. Whether you go big on tropical vibes with a Hawaiian-style shirt or choose classic, clean lines with a knit shirt, there’s the perfect holiday shirt waiting for you.
And, don’t forget a pair of shorts. How you wear them is down to personal style, but with three different lengths (from short to long) and a myriad of colours, we've got a pair to suit your holiday plans.
