Your Guide to Winter Sun Essentials
In this wintry weather, many of us will be inspired to escape the chill with a trip to a warmer destination. It’s time to book those tickets, stock up on sunscreen and get packing for that much-anticipated trip. Whether you’re touring galleries, eating your way through a new city or just living your best poolside life, here’s our guide to stylish simplicity on your winter sun getaway.
The Island Escape
For a beach holiday, choose pieces that will take you from morning swim to seaside cocktail hour with ease. Start with versatile swimwear that makes you feel your best (think a mix of bikinis and one-pieces you can re-wear). Include a couple of lightweight cover-ups or beach dresses in breezy fabrics, which you can easily throw over your swimsuit for a day out. Accessorise with a wide-brimmed hat and sunnies, plus a roomy tote for your sunscreen, towel and latest beach read.
We've also got elegant, lightweight beachwear sets and sarong dresses for evening wear, so you can stay stylish after sunset without overpacking.

The Cultural City Break
If you’re touring museums and markets in a warmer part of the world, be sure to pack lightweight, breathable clothing that keeps you comfortable while still looking polished. Include linen trousers, airy tops and a midi or maxi summer dress that you can easily dress up or down.
Comfortable walking shoes like trainers are essential for exploring historic streets but remember to pack a dressier pair of sandals for the evenings too. Add a light jacket or scarf for cooler nights and a cross-body bag to keep your hands free and your belongings safe while sightseeing.

The Sunny Safari
If you’re the type who loves an active holiday, embrace earthy tones like khaki, olive green, tan, brown and beige – especially if you’re out in nature (dark colours attract heat, while bright colours will attract unwanted insects). Choose lightweight but durable fabrics and dress in layers to prepare for hot days and cold nights. This type of getaway is more about practicality than glam, but you can add a bit of flair with your hat and sunglasses. And of course, remember to take some summer dresses and sandals for times when you’re relaxing at your chalet with a glass of wine.

Resort Relaxation
If you want to look effortlessly put together while you take it easy, summer loungewear is your best friend. Boxy tees and wide-leg trousers in ultra-soft fabrics are the order of the day. Pack a few cute sets in complementary colours so you can mix and match and include at least one summer dress or jumpsuit for occasions like date night.
