With overseas travel back on the cards, many of us are eagerly anticipating our next getaway to a faraway, warmer clime. But for those of us who haven’t been overseas for the past couple of years, knowing what to bring can be a conundrum. To take the guesswork out of holiday dressing, here are nine versatile styles to take on your destination with style and ease.
Scroll on for FQ’s 9 holiday wardrobe essentials:
1. Pretty prints
Brighten up your travels with a flirty floral or geometric print. A relaxed fit is a must, and dress your chosen pattern up or down with sandals or sneakers.
2. Sure shirting
You can’t go wrong with oversized cotton shirting in every colour of the rainbow. Wear over a bikini top and linen pants and tailor your look with a scarf or belt around the waist.
3. Bathe away
Swimsuits are for every body, and whether you opt for a one or two-piece number, there’s fun silhouettes and detailing aplenty to make a serious style statement in the water.
4. Raffia ready
Raffia, wicker, macrame, and straw accessories are en vogue, and there’s no better way to incorporate one into your look than on your travels. Doubling as a practical everyday or beach bag, you’ll switch to holiday mode in no time at all.
5. Linen leisure
Reach for cooling, breathable linen to trek around your choice of city or as a throw over for beachtime lounging. When it comes to nighttime, elevate your look with heeled sandals and gold accessories.
6. Slide away
Ditch the winter boots and show off your fresh pedicure with a pair of luxury slides and a print dress for long lunches and magical nights watching the sunset.
7. Hero hats
Don’t forget to shield your visage from the sun with a chic hat — we’re currently enamoured by colourful bucket styles to pair with funky shades for a jazzy vibe.
8. Sweet sunnies
A sleek pair of shades will finesse your holiday outfits and perfect your Insta-worthy snaps. We’re embracing edgy silhouettes like rimless glasses, but when in doubt, we’ll be reaching for a timeless, cute classic like the cateye.
9. Casual cashmere
When embarking on a long-haul trip, comfort is crucial to combat the chilly cabin air and restrictive seating. Reach for the softest, finest cashmere for a little luxury and warmth.
