There’s nothing more stressful than packing for your holidays and realising your wardrobe is lacking those all-important suitcase essentials. Perhaps last year’s outfits are looking a little worse-for-wear after your girls’ trip to Ibiza, or maybe you’ve not been abroad since you-know-what and need some new items, stat!
Well, don’t worry, because I’ve pulled together some last minute looks for that pending vacay. From cooling linen minis to comfy all-in-ones and ‘going out’ dresses, you’ll find everything you’re looking for below!
The Flowy White Maxi
Every gal needs a lacy white dress to live out her desert island fantasy, right? This cool cotton option has floaty sleeves for added coverage (and swishy-ness) around the arms, and it’s lined too! Wear with chunky flatforms or wedges during the day, then style it up with heels for balmy evenings in a beachside bar.
A Glam Floral Jumpsuit
Perfect for sunset cocktails or a fancy dinner, this stunning one-piece has an adjustable tie-waist and flowy culotte trousers. You’ll keep cool and comfy all night long, and the flattering wrap fit is guaranteed to make you look and feel fantastic. Pair with nude or white accessories to complement the gorgeous flowery print.
The Ultimate Linen Mini
The moment the sun starts shining in spring, I begin to add linen dresses (in every colour imaginable, naturally) to my shopping basket. My go-to staples in summer, these light and airy styles are fab on your holidays too. Great for throwing over your bikini or swimsuit, this black square-neck option is an absolute must-have for beach breaks.
Your Date Night Dress
If you’re on hols with your partner, then I’d recommend this chic shirt dress for a steamy date night. The buttons mean you can adjust the neckline (or, if you’re feeling brave, even create a deeper front split), while the handy tie-waist can be easily adjusted to accommodate bloating.
The Going Out Out Dress
Girls’ trip booked? You’ll be needing something glam for a night out (or several), like this ruffled dress with an off-shoulder neckline. The layered design means it’s flattering on all figures, while the versatile midi length makes it an ideal option for a night spent bar-hopping and dancing.
A Beach-To-Bar Jumpsuit
Relaxed enough for poolside lounging; glam enough for evening plans, this loose-fit jumpsuit is both stylish and comfy. Wear over your bikini while you’re catching up on your holiday reading, or chuck on some trainers or heels if you’re heading out and about.
