A week in the sun wardrobe for Summers
Your Summer palette was absolutely made for effortless breezy holiday dressing. Lightweight soft blues, airy soft white and a touch of raspberry pink for added va va voom; you really can't go wrong with your colours on holiday.
If you find yourself sticking to the same areas of your palette though, why not use your holiday as a chance to experiment with some of your less obvious shades, such as primrose, jade green and pastel aqua? These are all lovely soft colours which nonetheless pack a bit more of a punch than the 'traditional' Summer pinks and blues.
When it comes to deciding which pieces to actually pack, you can't beat the 5-4-3-2-1 rule...
raspberry gigi top, chalk white eveline blouse, bright navy everyday cotton v, soft orchid pippa top, purple soft square vest
Choose five tops to start off your holiday wardrobe. Base your Summer palette holiday wardrobe around tonal shades which compliment each other if you layer them up. Take at least one top which can double up for evening, and a lightweight long sleeved top in case of sunburn.
off white shorts, cropped jeans,off white jeans, navy stripe weekend skirt
Choose four bottoms which harmonise with your tops. Neutrals are often easiest here as they go with everything, but don't be afraid to inject a brighter colour which tones in with your tops.
Three pairs of shoes - flip flops for the beach, some evening-appropriate sandals and a comfy pair of shoes for sightseeing. For maximum versatility opt for your Summer neutrals like taupe, navy or silver.
