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
- 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 chose 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.
- 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
