WARDROBE 101:
ALL YOU NEED FOR A WINTER SUN HOLIDAY

Looking outside at the rain safe in the knowledge you’ll soon be jetting off to the sun? Here’s everything you’ll need to pack for your next getaway, lucky thing

Dress for sunnier climes

Wherever you’re headed, make sure there’s space in your suitcase for a beach-to-bar dress. This cotton-rich kaftan dress is the perfect choice: easy-breezy enough to be worn over your bikini, but stylish enough for an evening meal or cocktail. The V-neck design and flowy skirt add a touch of elegance while the vibrant colour will pop under sun-drenched skies. Wear with leather slider sandals – a sophisticated upgrade to casual flip-flops – and finish with a straw bag. Don’t forget to check out our great selection of beauty and skincare minis to complete your packing.

Crafted from breathable linen to keep you cool, this cobalt blue set is crafted with shell buttons for a nautical feel. Add a pair of oversized sunglasses and statement jewellery for a fun daytime look.

Give us a wave

The right bikini can help you feel your best on holiday. Zingy brights are a key swimwear trend and look great under sun-drenched skies. Take a break from neutrals in this gloriously bright bikini set. The vibrant wave print has us dreaming of long days on the beach and the fit is super flattering, thanks to discreet tummy support. If you prefer a more covered look, go for a tankini set. If you have a bigger bust and want a supportive bikini, check out our selection of styles by Freya and Fantasie.
