The July Edit: Your Summer Holiday Essentials
If you’re jetting off somewhere sun-soaked (not envious, at all) you’ll need a summer holiday wardrobe to match. From the swimwear trends you’ll see at every pool party, to the eye-catching co-ords that will be your beach-to-bar saviours, you can consider this your packing guide.
SUITS YOU
From one-piece suits to two-piece suits, and even the odd three-piece suit (it’s time to get acquainted with the swim skirt, people) swimsuits this summer are bold and beautiful. Whether you're a ‘more is more’ kind of person or a monochrome loving minimalist, this swimwear will tick every box. All that's left to do is to pack the SPF.

ALL RISE
When the temperature soars, hemlines rise, and the mini gets its moment. Choose your look – a body-con mini in a ‘60s style psychedelic print is basically begging for its moment in Ibiza, while floaty pieces in pastels and lights will keep you cool on summer city breaks.

ONE-PIECE WONDERS
The last thing you want to be doing in your hotel room is trying to piece together an outfit from various tops and skirts you’ve packed. That’s why we ditch the separates and rely on jumpsuits for our holiday wardrobes. You’ll be out of your room in 60-seconds flat every morning, leaving more time for all the important stuff. Now, where did you put your cocktail?

MATCHY MATCHY
Sometimes all you want from your holiday wardrobe is a ready-made outfit to do all the hard work for you. Which is why co-ords are the fashion packs' vacation-wear of choice. The co-ordinating is already done for you, but you can also wear each piece separately, leaving valuable suitcase space for all those local crafts you’ll be buying (ahem, basket bags).

MAGIC MAXIS
Maxi dresses are now so synonymous with summer that you can hardly call them a trend. They’re a warm-weather essential that will take you from a walking tour of Lisbon to a beach bar in Croatia and look just as at home in both situations. How, you ask? It’s the secret superpower of the maxi dress.
