STYLISH DURING YOUR HOLIDAY

BE STYLISH AND COMFORTABLE EVEN ON HOLIDAY

Holiday should never be a
pretext for being careless about clothing.

Here are few ideas that might help you constitute a lovely wardrobe for your next destination:



  • Iron free garments

    • Viscose ( Rayon) is the perfect material and you best ally for stylish holidays. It doesn't wrinkle and always falls nicely. A viscose dress in black, beige or in coloursl such as violet or pink according to one's carnation and hair colour.

    • Woven Polyester or silk crepe are other materials that do not crease. Pencil skirts are easy to wear in all circumstances: touristic visits, night clubbing, restaurant, trendy bar. The versatility of skirt is that you can change tops to modify the entire outfit.
    • Take loads of Gap My Favorite T-shirts are an excellent top for holiday, They have a good shape and they hardly crease.

  • Pockets
    • If you take a jacket, priviledge jackets with pockets; the must being deep inside pockets.
    • Bags: if your bag doesn't close on the outside, make sure you have pockets with zips inside. It protects valuable goods from unexpected rain and/or pickpockets.

  • Versatility is your best ally during holidays
    • Shorts
      • Take elegant shorts with beautiful material such as silk/ cashmere, silk/linen.
      • Shorts combined to a ligth jacket are lovely for dinner.
      • For comfort and grace, favor large cuts with side darts and permanent crease front and back. Moreover, large cut usually have slimming effects on the legs.
      • Prefer shorts above the knees with deep pockets since you can carry a lot in these pockets without altering the silhouette.
    • Trousers:
      • Large cuts and deep pockets are yet again to be favored.
      • Trousers
      • Silk / Linen is one of the best material for holiday since the silk has for effect to minimise the wrinkles.
      • Rayon: excellent too but only if you are in excellent shape.
      • Plain and neutral colours are preferable black, white, brown... Accessorize with belts, jewels, scarves etc


    • Dresses:
      • Shirt dresses are a good pick for holiday. They suit everybody's shape. Prefer black or beige.
      • A Viscose dress is always falling nicely and doesn't fit too tight on the body which is pleasant.




    • Tops:
      • Kaftan Blouses usually are of light texture. They fit any body shape.
        Always chose elegant patterns. Mix with plain colour items below.






    • Shoes:
      Style is not synonym to discomfort but c
      hose comfy shoes with spirit...
      • Thong Sandals:
      • Pick the good looking ones - even flat- you can wear them at the restaurant. Invest in a nice pair of Jimmy Choo, Gucci (Picture) etc




      • Soft Loafers
    • Tod's is the best and comfortable. The "picots", Tod's trademark have a massaging effect on your feet. Very classy for casual occasions.



      • Trainers
        The style of trainers shall be chosen with care. If you cannot afford the labels, at least try to find styles that resemble the following styles:
        • Converse: By all means, prefer the high version and ONLY with trousers. Don't even consider wearing them with cropped trousers or shorts.
        • Prada, My Car shoes (picture left) (without socks )
        • Superga
        • Hogan

        • Accessorize
          • Belts: bring a large elegant, yet original belt to accessorize a black or white dress

          • Scarves:
            Ideal for destination, take very colourful scarves. My advice: invest in a Pleated scarf by Hermes, the pleats give a very casual sophistication ( if there is any of a kind) to any outfit. You can knot them in many way. An alternative: the Hermes Twilly




          • Jewels:
            Be simple and think structure. To upscale the plain and simple holiday outfit, chose chunky pieces of jewellery. The best pick: A several range gemstone necklace in bright colors such as coral, turquoise, jade, pink quartz...
