This summer H&M has curated your ultimate vacation wardrobe. With an emphasis on crafted details like fringe, crochet, embroidery and embellishment, plus airy dresses and kaftans, there’s a sophisticated boho feel throughout. Smart matching sets, bold silhouettes and a play between relaxed and structured shapes add a modern touch. Dip your toe into the boho vibe with a fringed phone bag, £27.99, in high saturation tomato red, one of this season’s hottest hues.
Pack to perfection with New Look’s edit of sun-ready holidaywear. From beach dresses to throw on poolside, to a tempting selection of holiday bags and accessories. Embrace the crochet trend with cute co-ord coverups in vibrant teal, or add a touch of whimsy with a wicker seashell cross body bag.
For vacay ready arrivals in fresh tones, don’t miss River Island’s holidaywear for adults and children alike – blending fashion and functionality, it’s never been easier to add some style and sunshine to your suitcase. From the tropical vibes of the Del Maar floral kaftan with matching bikini and effortlessly chic travel co-ords, to knitted sets for girls in vibrant lime with cute palm tree detailing. If adding a dash of glamour sounds good, their statement sequin embellished gold maxi will take you from lunch in the sunshine to date night under the stars, in style.
At Primark a tropical takeover is underway; inspired by Rio De Janeiro, their summer collection features matching summer outfits for the whole family with bold colour blocks, tropical holiday motifs and postcard print clothing, bringing all the holiday vibes. For men, bold prints, crochet and elevated textures are key this season. A statement shirt is a true hot weather hero so why not refresh their rotation with one in 70s inspired striped crochet.
Sandal season has arrived and schuh has something to suit everyone this SS25, whether you’re a fan of timeless Birkenstock Arizonas or fancy a pair of platform Uggs. Our team are loving the Voss II which brings classic Docs energy into warmer weather with adjustable straps, a rugged sole, and a comfy footbed that actually wants to be worn all day.
