BEACH HOLIDAY

Sun-kissed skin, salt-licked hair, sand-covered toes… and a wardrobe to make the beach stop and stare. We’ve got it covered…

Menswear

From the white-washed Greek Islands to the hidden coves of Ibiza, Ashford Designer Outlet has a stunning array of stylish kit for a beach holiday. Keep your look classy with soft cotton polos by BOSS, and camp-collar shirts by Reiss. But for a bit more punch, a bold floral shirt from AllSaints is a winner. Printed swim shorts by Abercrombie & Fitch announce fun intentions, while flip-flops by Kurt Geiger and a pair of contemporary sunglasses complete the look.

Womenswear

This summer, bohemia returns. Nail the beach vibe with brands such as Only and Hollister adopting vintage swimsuit and bikini references for a classy coastal look. Barely-there throw-on dresses by Hobbs and French Connection elevate the hippie vibe, while a chunky pair of sandals from Dr. Martens lift the look in every sense of the word. Accessorise with angular eyewear, a wide-brimmed sun hat, and a smattering of gold jewellery for some vintage glamour.

Kids

Kids’ beachwear is here – with luxury fashion brands releasing cute and comfortable collections for sand-loving little ones. This season’s kidswear collections at Tommy Hilfiger, Kids Around, and more are fun, colourful, and full of vibrant prints and patterns. Hats are a must for protection from the sun, so check out the excellent caps and bucket styles by M&S.

Luggage

Your luggage will depend on the type of beach holiday you go on, but no matter what, we’ve got it covered. Check out the rattan-style hold-alls at Fred Perry or the colourful canvas totes from Kate Spade, which are the perfect size. They’ll look just as at home at a luxury resort or taken to an off-the-tracks hidden cove. Otherwise, a smaller boho over-the-shoulder bag by Coach is a great way to accessorise your beach bar look.
