A week in the sun wardrobe for Springs

As a Spring you might sometimes feel that your palette is just too bright for everyday life, and you may spend a lot of time in your neutrals rather than embracing your brights. If you find yourself doing this, then your holiday is the perfect opportunity to embrace your brightest colours and really enjoy them - it might even give you the confidence to wear some more of them once you get home too.

When you are planning your holiday wardrobe, the key is still to start with two neutrals (ensure that one of them is a lovely light one like cream or shell pink) and a handful of your favourite brights - this is the time to finally brave that apple green, turquoise and coral that you've been wanting an excuse to wear since discovering your palette.

When it comes to deciding which pieces to actually pack, you can't beat the 5-4-3-2-1 rule...

Choose five tops to start off your holiday wardrobe. Now is the time to embrace your ultra bright brights, so make sure you include a few good splashes of colour alongside the odd neutral. Try to include a lightweight long sleeve top in case of too much sun.

Choose four bottoms which match your tops. Neutrals are often easiest here as they go with everything, but don't be afraid to inject a splash of colour! Red and pink can make for an amazing contrast, or coral and aqua - take inspiration from your tops.

Three pairs of shoes - flip flops for the beach, some evening-appropriate sandals and a comfy pair of shoes for sightseeing. Another great opportunity to add a colour pop, or stick to light warm neutrals for effortless elegance.

A breezy beach cover up and a smarter option for lunch out or even a glamorous evening cocktail!

Turquoise bikini, navy one piece

Two swimsuits mean no squeezing into a wet swimsuit when you decide to go for an early morning dip.

light emerald suede shoulder bag

You only need one handbag. Make it comfortable and make sure it goes with the rest of your holiday wardrobe. Another splash of colour, anyone?

soft white cashmere gauze stole

A cashmere gauze stole is perfect for covering up against any unexpected air conditioning chill as well as doubling up as a cushion on the flight or an evening wrap.

royal blue alexa zip jacket

A simple relaxed biker jacket will go with everything - dress it up for evening with sandals and a dress, or dress it down with jeans and flip flops for sight seeing chic.
