What to Wear on Holiday: Style & Packing Tips for Your Summer Escape

For Summer in the South of France

Think: stylish yet comfortable and natural fabrics.

What to Wear:

• Flowy midi dresses: Add a simple monochrome dress such as our midi dress in white spot with some slides and add a mini bag and gold jewellery for the evening.
• Breezy wrap dresses: A soft wrap dress is a French Riviera essential. Perfect for exploring towns like Nice.
• Flowy midi dresses: Try our strappy sundress in navy white stripe. Pair with a straw tote bag, slides and sunglasses. An outfit that can easily be taken from day to night.

Packing Tips:

• Sunglasses an essential for sunny days.
• Wide-brimmed straw hats for style and sun protection.
• Pack sandals you can walk in - think flat slides.

For a Coastal Cornwall Getaway

Think: cliff walks, pub lunches, sea spray, and cream teas.

What to Wear:

• T-shirt dress: For walks by the coast pick a dress that combines comfort and style such as our jersey dress in mint green. A t-shirt dress is comfortable to walk in and can easily be paired with trainers or sandals. Layer with a denim jacket.
• Relaxed cotton tops: Opt for easy silhouettes that you can wear with shorts by day or a midi skirt for evening fish and chips by the harbour.
• Easy-wear skirts: Choose fabrics that work well with sandals and trainers, perfect for switching between countryside and coastline.

Packing Tips:

• Always pack layers. A soft knit or oversized cardigan is your friend here.
• A neutral-toned rain jacket (just in case — it is Cornwall).
• Trainers or hiking sandals for long walks and cobbled streets.

For a Sun-Soaked Holiday in Portugal

Think: sun-drenched beaches, tiled towns, lazy lunches with sea views.

What to Wear:

• Bold print dresses: Portugal is full of colour—match it with bright florals or geometric prints that pop in the sunshine. Try our vibrant blue midi dress, easy to wear over a swimsuit after a day at the beach or dress up for the evening.
• Midi skirt: Pair with a swimsuit on beach days or a simple t-shirt. Add a wide brimmed straw hat and sunglasses and you're set.
• Mini dress: Stay cool with a lightweight viscose mini dress perfect for trips to the beach. Add a wide brimmed straw hat and sunglasses.

Packing Tips:

• Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a straw hat are essentials.
• Roll your clothes to save space and minimise creases.
• Throw in a swimwear cover-up you can also wear to lunch.

Final Packing Tips (No Matter Where You're Going!)

• Capsule your wardrobe: Choose a colour story to mix and match more easily.
• Limit shoes to 3 pairs: One for walking, one for the beach, one for evenings.
• Accessories: Simple jewellery, a scarf, and a great bag elevate every outfit.
