Dive into our fashion tips and ensure you’re dressed to impress, no matter where your holiday takes you!
Departure – Travel Outfit
Dress comfortably but with style. Remember, you’re starting your vacation, so even the travel outfit matters! Opt for comfortable clothes in lightly fleeced fabrics, don’t forget a nice and comfy hoody (you don’t want to get sick on the plane!).
- Consider trendy coordinated sets like shorts and a sweatshirt, or a long soft dress. Shop Travel Outfits
Beach Look
Prepare each outfit mentally, counting each day of your stay plus 2-3 bonus options (just in case)! For beach looks, it’s always recommended to start with darker colours in the first few days while you’re still working on your tan, then switch to white swimsuits when you can proudly show off your bronze glow! Always use SPF, of course (at least SPF 30; this one from Hawaiian is amazing).
- Pair your bikini/trikini/one-piece with sheer kimonos, crochet cardigans, and sarongs for stylish coverage. Opt for neutral colours if it’s a more “elegant” vacation, and go bold with vibrant colours and patterns for clubs and parties! Find Your Perfect Beach Look.
Afternoon Drink
This is where the light tactical change comes in. It’s aperitif time, your hair is still salty, and before heading to dinner, an inevitable sunset aperitif awaits, the perfect Instagram moment.
- Don’t get caught unprepared: it’s time to show off a lightweight long dress, or a two-piece coordinated set that is both comfortable and chic. A flowy maxi dress in a bright colour or a stylish jumpsuit can make you look effortlessly elegant. Add a pair of statement earrings and some flat sandals to complete your look. Shop Aperitif Outfits
Evening Look
It’s your moment, you’ve waited all year for these holidays to go out at night with your golden skin and show off your best outfits, is your TIME TO SHINE. First of all, wear your best smile, you can’t go wrong, and it’s always a bonus that adds to and completes your look. As for the outfit, it’s important to understand the evening’s programme.
- For dinner, we recommend a classy midi dress or a sleek jumpsuit with a touch of sparkle. For clubs, opt for a glamorous mini dress or a chic two-piece set that shows off your tan. Explore Evening Wear
The Special Night Look
On every respectable vacation, there is at least one night when you’ve booked the most luxurious restaurant, and it deserves a special dress.
- Opt for a long dress with a backless design, if you choose a short one, make sure it’s not too revealing, you want to look chic, not vulgar. Shop Special Occasion Dresses
