Mix and match skirts, tops, co-ord sets, and dresses for every dress code and occasion – from strolls on a sunny beach to dinner at a lovely restaurant.

Dress to impress for your summer holiday with our favourite packing must-haves. Read to the end of this blog post to discover our handy checklist that will make packing for your holiday a breeze!

A Versatile Maxi Skirt

The perfect maxi skirt will suit every dress code – from sunny afternoons beside the pool to evenings strolling along the beach.

Choose a skirt from our viscose edit for slinky-soft fabrics with no ironing required, ready to be thrown into a beach bag or squeezed into the corner of your suitcase. Simply hang it in the bathroom while you shower to let the steam knock any creases into shape. Style these maxi skirts with heels for an evening outfit, or trainers for a day exploring. With a range of colours and prints to choose from – including florals, stripes and trending patchwork prints – you’re sure to find a new favourite every time.

An Elegant Smart-Casual Blouse

It’s always handy to keep a smart blouse in your suitcase for a summer holiday. Look for elegant and breathable features, such as Broderie Anglaise details and semi sheer fabrics, that will keep the air flowing on a hot day. V-neck styles with buttons can be styled open and flowing over a cami top, or fastened to the neckline for a more put-together look. Style your blouse with denim shorts for a smart-casual dress code, or tuck it into a floaty midi skirt for evening plans.

A Comfortable Cami Top

Sleeveless tops are a must-have in a hot location, whether you choose delicate cami straps or our wider bra-friendly straps. Keep your shoulders out to catch a breeze and a tan, or throw on a shawl or cardigan to cover up. We love simple-yet-stylish tops, just like the option above – with a square neckline and a boxy shape that will flatter all body types. Frilled hems, comfortable linen blends, and relaxed silhouettes will all help you to feel cool and look elegant.

A Glamorous Evening Dress

Every holiday deserves a showstopper evening dress! Try an empire maxi for effortless glamour on an evening out for dinner or drinks. Look out for flattering tiered skirts and beautiful metallic trims for an elegant finishing touch. You can also search by dress length to find a stunning midi or short dress ready for any special occasion.

Try a wrap dress to create an hourglass figure with a tummy-flattering effect; or a short skater dress for more relaxed affairs. You’re sure to stun in your holiday snapshots wearing one of these beautiful styles.

Summer Holiday Outfit Checklist

As well as the above wardrobe must-haves, here are a few more unmissable styling pieces you need for your holiday…

  • A simple shift dress, for extra comfort during sunny city trips and travelling days
  • A scarf or shawl is perfect for keeping in your handbag, in case of breezy weather or evening chills
  • A cardigan, for airport air conditioning and spontaneous nighttime strolls
  • Something sparkly, such as a dress or a top, for smarter restaurants and special evenings out
  • Relaxed shorts, ready to pair with a t-shirt or a cami top for a daytime look or with heeled sandals for evening looks
