Here’s what to pack for a stylish escape, from breezy summer dresses and swimwear to linen shorts and clever cover-ups for the beach
Wherever you’re headed, make sure there’s space in your suitcase for a beach-to-bar dress. This one-shouldered midi dress is the perfect choice: easy-breezy enough to be worn on humid day trips, but stylish enough for an evening meal or cocktail. Wear with chic leather sandals – a sophisticated upgrade to casual flipflops – and finish with a straw bag. Don’t forget to check out our great selection of beauty and skincare minis to complete your packing.
Your most-worn holiday outfit? Your swimwear, so choose wisely. Our tummy control ruched swimsuit gets five-star reviews thanks to its super flattering and supportive fit. It’s made using our Magic 360 power mesh, which helps sculpt the body for a streamlined look. A ruched front and cross-over front detail add to the feel-your-best effect. We also love this chic red swimsuit, guaranteed to make you stand out on the beach. Add some oversized sunglasses and a classic sun hat and you’ll be the epitome of effortless poolside style.
A versatile hot-weather wardrobe staple, a pair of linen shorts will more than earn their spot in your suitcase. Perfect for sunny days seeing the sights or wearing over your bikini, this on-trend high-waisted pair are also available in a soft, biscuity beige. And, if you have limited packing space, these shorts can easily do double duty for dinner or sun-downers – adding a sleeveless top and a statement jewellery piece should do the trick.
