Fashion: Your 2019 Holiday Hitlist

One thing stands in between you and the holiday of your dreams: packing. While it might seem like an easy task to begin with, piles of clothes and one very full suitcase later can prove otherwise.
With so many stylish outfits to show off, it can be hard to decide on what’s essential and what’s not.

So, if you’re worried about hitting the max on your bag allowance but still want to step out in style, we’ve highlighted our favourite holiday items to make packing a breeze, including holiday dresses, swimsuits and accessories.

Your Dream Holiday Dress

If there’s one item that’s sure to be a packing priority, then it’s a holiday dress. Easily worn on top of bikinis and swimsuits, a holiday dress makes an ultimate day to night outfit.

Stroll through sunshine days in a maxi dress

While mini dresses are a winning warm weather pick, this season we love the look of long dresses in boho styles. Helping to keep you looking and feeling cool even during sweltering sunshine, the easy-breezy design will be your go-to whether you’re exploring ancient ruins or strolling across sandy dunes.

Stand out on the beach in a bold swimsuit

For a look that will help you dive into poolside perfection, opt for a swimsuit in a bold pattern or contrasting colour combination. Not only will choosing a bright shade put you in a positive mood, but swimsuits are a fashionable fit that will flatter and support all shapes and sizes. All you’ll need to throw on for a post-swim ice cream trip is a cute kaftan or cover up. Easy!

Say Yes To Swimsuits

If you’ve got a beach holiday on the horizon, now’s the ideal time to update your swimwear. But debuting new styles can be intimidating, and we can all do with an added boost of confidence when it comes to braving a bikini or a swimsuit.

Experiment With Accessories

If you’re after tips and tricks to save space in your suitcase, then maximising accessories is the way to go. Helping you to transition day looks into evening outfits with ease, accessories will let you make the most of every item you pack.

Add sparkle to any holiday outfit with a gold-effect clutch bag

One simple and stylish way to update your everyday clothes is to swap out your beach bag for a clutch. Whether you opt for a glittery design or a sleek black option, a clutch bag will add some after dark charm to your strappy dress.

Whether you're exploring the cobbled courtyards or heading to the beach, these sandals are perfect for both

As a general rule, one pair of sandals and one pair of evening shoes should be enough to see you through a beach break. For adventures off the beaten track and city trips, just remember some casual and comfortable trainers.

Put A Spring
In Your Step

While it might seem tempting to bring all your favourite footwear, less is definitely more. After all, shoes are one of the heaviest and largest items you’ll have to pack. We recommend looking at the weather forecast and checking your travel plans to work out exactly what shoes (and how many) you’ll need to take.
