Must have fashion for your summer holiday wardrobe 

There’s something about a summer holiday that brings out the adventurous side of us all. We’ll often consider wearing something that we wouldn’t ordinarily wear. We tend to feel more confident, with the prospect of sunshine and a lovely fruity cocktail in our hands! This makes a summer holiday the perfect time to embrace a fashion trend that you may normally feel a bit reticent about. We’ll go through this summer’s most holiday friendly trends and how to wear them!

Perfect prints

Whether you are drawn to playful florals or bold geometrics, summer prints this year are eye-catching and daring. Rose prints are both timeless and fresh, adding a touch of romance to any outfit. Geometrics give more of a cool retro look that will make you feel dynamic and creative.

Ideal for… Beach style

A beach holiday is the perfect setting for experimenting with print. These outfits are all about the joy of a vacation, so whether you’re off for a sea swim or at a beachside bar your look reflects the fun.

Outfit inspo… beachwear

From a swimsuit to a bikini to a summer dress, rose or geometric prints make a whole look out of one garment. They’re a statement of the season. These prints are so flattering, with bold and playful lines which accentuate your curves. Pair your floaty dress with a pair of shaping shorts to smooth your line and ward off thigh chafe! 

White and bright

From oversized blouses to sheer fabrics to arts and crafts lace and crochet, white is the shade to be seen in. Of course, this colour always looks better in the sunshine, and it can often feel like a bit of a risk. So we think that summer holidays are the ideal time to brave it! 

Ideal for… Nautical chic

Whether you’re on the coast, a cruise, or a sailing holiday, white outfits can be shown off to the max. You’re likely to catch the sun, making the crisp white shades stand out and look super elegant.

Outfit inspo… capri cut offs

Capri pants are back this summer, so whether you prefer cargos or leggings, white capris ooze coastal style. They’re practical and stylish and can be teamed with a short dress or cropped top alike. Keep your silhouette in line with some medium compression control briefs.

Nostalgic double denim

90’s double denim has returned, and it’s cooler than ever. Wear it best by pairing separates, or go for an all in one with a boiler suit or dungarees. The key to nailing this look is to mix different shades of denim for a balanced and stylish outfit.

Ideal for… UK holidays

Let’s face it, the UK is somewhat unreliable when it comes to weather. So it’s the ideal place to experiment with a double denim look. Your denim jacket or shirt can be a super convenient layer when the sun goes in!

Outfit inspo… denim shirt

Soft, light denim is a fantastic pairing layer with jeans or cut off shorts alike. Tucked in, it’s great for giving that casual double denim look. And you can soften the look with a white T or shaping cami underneath. 

Cool cut outs

Cut outs have been around for years, and they always make a resurgence in summer. This year is no exception, with off the shoulder looks and waist slices abounding. 

Ideal for…cultural city break

If your holiday is all about theatre, galleries, and cool lunchtime bistros, you’ll need a look that oozes elegance and style. Cut outs really fit the bill here. If you worry about feeling the draught, then summer is the ideal season to indulge this trend.

Outfit inspo… slip dress

From cut outs at the ribs to underboob to backless numbers, a slip dress is a versatile outfit that works day to night. Just think about the position of your underwear or shapewear to avoid flashing, and choose nude shades where possible. 

A summer holiday really is the perfect time to experiment with more daring trends that you normally admire from afar. With a good solid foundation of shapewear, you can try out these looks with confidence. You never know, you may find a new look that you love so much that you’ll bring it home with you!
