You’ve selected the perfect destination. Now all that’s left to do is to get yourself beach bootyful!
In advance of your trip, do some research about dress code. Most cities are very accommodating and make exceptions for Western tourists. As a visitor, being mindful of a country’s culture is not only respectful, but a fun way of discovering worldly fashion.
Here are a few handy tips to keep fashion flexible. Kaftans are stylish cover-ups and all the rage this season. Beautiful sarongs bought locally can double as a scarf for sightseeing religious shrines or visiting rural villages. A light cardigan is a versatile garment that helps adhere to custom whilst in public areas. Simply remove once you arrive at a more private setting.
Chanel Python
These are small compromises – especially when you consider the fun to be had in accumulating a fabulous new summer style. Now you can get on with filling your suitcase with our incredible finds that hit the spot in what’s hot!
Maxi print dress from Topshop
A rejuvenation of fifties glamour has all of us getting in touch with our femininity. The summer dress has become this season’s staple. There is an abundance of fabric to choose from: flirty floral, bold batik and adorable anglaise. Choose a length that complements your body shape. Hemlines above the knee are great for petites wanting to lengthen their pins. Maxi’s are enjoying a comeback and are ideal for pear-shaped lovelies. Whilst taking it three quarter helps find the fashionable middle ground for outings between sunbathing and sightseeing.
Embroider dress from Miss Selfridge
Invest in a good pair of shorts. For the bold at heart – short shorts are a sure fire way to set tongues wagging. Tailored shorts can be more forgiving for those of us still suffering from the post-winter chubbies. Team up with bright coloured tank tops for effortless summer-ready style.
The summer jacket is another favourite. Go cropped and denim for that old-school fun feeling. For a more sophisticated look for evenings out on the town, try lightweight fabric in soft pastels.
Chloe clutch from net-a-porter
Clever accessorising can take your wardrobe a long way. Especially since you can’t lug it all with you. Transform garments from day easy to evening glamour by simply adding a clutch purse, gold jewellery or a waist-cinching belt.
Vintage Christian Dior sunnies from Asos
Spend money on a long-lasting pair of sunnies that will help frame your entire outfit. Wide-brimmed straw hats add some instant glamour as do sexy sarongs knotted to expose some thigh. Cover up with a kaftan for leisurely sunset strolls on the pier. Or even better: pull on your shorts under a beaded kaftan for added sparkle at night.
Diesel flip flops from Ebay
Heels can instantly trim off the appearance of any extra pounds. Choose wisely with some wedge-tastic Christian Louboutin corks. Also try the Chanel Python sandal -more cobble-stone friendly then any stiletto out there. Diesel has even catered for all you flip-flop die-hards.
One-piece glamour from figleaves.com
The all important bikini v one-piece is no longer a dilemma. With so many exotic destinations to choose from you are bound to find yourself sunbathing. For beach-front sizzle go bikini all the way. You will spend most of your time soaking up the sun, so pack at least three of your favourites. The one-piece is perfect for hanging pool-side. It is also a fantastic way to contour your body on less accommodating days. What would a holiday be without an extra slice of pizza or a chocolate sundae?
OPI summer colours from Asos
By focusing on the key items above, you will still have enough in your budget for the crucial pre-holiday beauty treatment: manicure and full pedicure. Be sure to pack a hot shade of OPI nail varnish for touch-ups. And don’t forget your passport!
