Planning a Holiday? Perfect Outfits to Glam-up Your Vacation

Ah, vacations, the favourite time of the year! We’re always dreaming of getting away from the daily hustle. But when vacation time approaches, we’re so caught up planning the itinerary, the commute, the necessary permits and what-nots that there’s not much time to plan the wardrobe. Well, not for everyone. But many of us just throw in a lot of random items into the suitcase and hope for the best. That never really works and can be quite expensive if you factor in the restrictions and don’t forget the extra cost for cabin and checked-in luggage.

Travelling can be fun but if you’re lugging around too much baggage (pun-unintended), it can be a damper. Well, you’ll spend more time trying to figure out what to wear once you’re on your holiday than being on time for anything on your itinerary! So, here’s a list of the best vacation outfits that we’ve curated, no matter where you choose to go. They’re versatile and so easy to mix and match that you’ll have more options with less, and the best part they’re insta-worthy glamorous, and can be apt for a day at the pool and for a walk into town.

The Glam Cover-up

No vacation is complete without a bathing suit. Even if it’s not a beach vacation, and you have no intention of stepping into the pool, who said you shouldn’t dress like you’re going for a dip? A blazing hot cover-up is one piece of item that every girl should invest in. They’re great for sunning at the beach and can even be worn over your shorts and tee when you head for your morning breakfast.

The Kaftan Dress

We love our kaftans; you would too if you knew just how comfortable they are! No matter where you’re heading, don't forget to pack a kaftan for the week. If you’re wondering how they can be glamourous, well, you just need the right one (shop here) and get your accessories sorted (yes make sure you pack those too!). With a pair of large shades, eclectic jewellery and an oversized woven tote bag you’ll sure be making a lot of heads turn.

The Linen Pants

From walking the streets to just sitting by the pool to sip on your favourite poison, the relaxed fit linen pants are your perfect vacation companion. Match it with the perfect tank or a crop top and you’ll be glad you packed it. While prints and stripes will work too, make sure you carry a solid neutral shade as it’s easier to match with different tops, in case you’re not going with the staple vacation co-ord set.

The Strappy Dress

The easiest to elevate and accessorise, the strappy dress is a vacation staple like no other. They’re great when you’re out shopping and can be elevated to an evening cocktail outfit with a nice belt, a sequined clutch and yes don’t forget, statement jewellery.

The Shorts

Yes, these are so common that it’s more home wear than the best vacation outfit. But try variations, like a skort or a co-ord set with shorts and tank top or our favourite from our collection a glamourous A-line dress with matching shorts (check it out here).

A Dressy Top

Whether it’s to pair with your skirt or even your related trousers, a dressy top with interesting sleeves is a staple vacation outfit. It’s not always just walking and shopping, you might want to head to the fanciest restaurant in town to celebrate yourself, so make sure you dress for it. We just love our satiny black halter neck top, check it out here.
