Bask in the sun while looking your very best!

Looking your best during summer holidays or a beach-bound winter vacation requires more attention than you thought. Our summer vacation outfits were loved by all and we now bring you some more essential vacation fashion that will make holiday dressing functional as well as stylish.

Vacation Fashion

A warm holiday destination is the perfect excuse to bring the best of those summer clothes out the closet. These outfits will take you to a weekend at the beach or lake, to a backyard barbecue or a patio party in the city.

Kaftan Tops with a Splash of Colour

For an outfit that will take you from a shopping spree to dinner on a lavish beach shack, pair an embellished Kaftan top with either shorts,  leather leggings or denim capris.

Seychelles Boho Siren Call Sandal

Roxy Beach Rock Tote Bag

While black was still dominant on the runways, colour is still playing a key role for summer — from accent splashes of colour to bold designs. We love the Boho look created by the Tank Tops from Camilla with their Aztec prints and bright colors.

And if you think that leather is only a fall or winter staple, think again. The leather pieces showing up on the runways for spring and summer are lightweight and breathable. Leather leggings take the colorful tops from beach ready to party ready.

Flirty Florals

The slim-fitting floral pants are dressy enough for a party or for relaxing at the cottage and are a must-have staple for a weekend wardrobe. You can pair them with a solid top for during the day and add a denim jacket for the chilly evenings. And of course, accessories are the key to making an outfit your own.

High-Lo Skirts

Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief — the mini skirt is not de riguer for spring. In fact hemlines were across the board for the upcoming season, making it easier for women to incorporate a variety of styles into their wardrobe. Look for knee skimming skirts in filmy chiffon and crepe, longer skirts with dropped waist stitching or full skirts with pleats that grace the ankles.

For holiday dressing, we love the style chic High-Low skirts. Paired with another tropical favorite – Crochet Tops – flowing chiffon skirts are perfect for summertime romance.

Beyond Clothes – Your Vacation Beauty Guide

There is more to warm weather style than just the right clothes. Use our quick summertime guide to keep glowing while you holiday.

Smooth your skin

Smooth, healthy skin is the key to beauty. Begin your regimen a few weeks before heading to the beach. Start with a body scrub followed by a skin firming lotion.

Survive a close shave

Razors specially made for women feature cartridges set between soft protective cushions that help smooth out skin during shaving. Use a fresh blade to avoid nicks and cuts. Some deodorants, lotions and sunscreens will sting on freshly shaved skin, so wait a bit before applying.

Protect your polish

Finish fingers and toes with pretty polish. Nail polishes with sunscreen are a must-have to prevent light shades from yellowing and dark shades from fading.

Care for your hair

Say goodbye to tress distress with special hair serums formulated to protect hair from heat and humidity. Beat summer frizzies with anti-frizz products.

Fake a tan

After exfoliating, use an express self-bronzing spray or a Sunless Tanning Spray in the morning for natural-looking colour.

Treat your feet

Whether you trust your tootsies to a professional pedicurist or buff them up yourself, revitalize weary feet with a moisturizing foot lotion.

Stay in the clear

Tank tops, tube tops and bathing suits – now’s the time to hunt down no-residue deodorants without icky residue to spoil your style. Or opt for a glide stick for 24-hour protection in a clear anti-perspirant.

Block the sun

Even if your self-tanner contains a sunscreen, you’ll need another layer of at least SPF 15 at the beach – and don’t forget to reapply frequently. A lightweight sunscreen specifically for your face is also a must-have.

Save your sole

Sun-warmed sand can burn tender feet, so pick up a colourful pair of flip-flops for your trek across the beach.
