Styling a summer outfit is all about comfort and coolness. For those hot, sunny days, lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen, and airy fabrics are your best friend. Think relaxed fits, fun prints, and clothes that let you breathe—whether you're on holiday or just enjoying the sun. A casual top paired with your favourite Shorts, skirts, or even a breezy dress will keep you comfortable and looking great. Summer accessories can be just as important too—sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat can elevate your outfit while also protecting you from the sun. Don’t forget to pack Swimwear if you're planning to dip into the pool or beach. At Cotton On, we’re all about mixing laid-back style with practicality, so always choose pieces that feel good and work together. And remember, summer is all about feeling free, so wear what makes you feel confident and relaxed!
What to Pack on a Summer Holiday?
Packing for a summer holiday can be a breeze when you stick to the essentials. Start with a few lightweight pieces that you can mix and match—think breathable linen, tees, shorts, and flowy dresses for those sunny days. A swimsuit is essential if you’re heading to a beach destination or if your hotel has a pool. A wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses are non-negotiable for staying protected from the sun. And let’s not forget toiletries—pack your favourite travel-sized essentials and keep it simple. You want to pack light so you’ve got room for those last-minute holiday buys! If you’re staying somewhere more adventurous, a jacket or light sweater might come in handy for cooler evenings. At Cotton On, we believe in packing smart: stick to items that work together and are easy to layer. That way, you can enjoy your summer holiday with minimal fuss and maximum style!
Why is Linen a Must-Have Summer Holiday Piece?
Linen is an absolute game-changer when it comes to summer style. It’s lightweight, breathable, and super comfy—perfect for those hot days when you need to stay cool. Whether you’re lounging by the beach or exploring a new town, linen keeps you fresh and stylish. The natural, relaxed look of linen makes it easy to throw on for any occasion, whether it's a crisp linen shirt, a flowy dress, or relaxed trousers. Plus, linen is moisture-wicking, which means it draws sweat away from your skin, helping you stay comfortable throughout the day. It’s a must-have for your summer holiday wardrobe because it combines comfort with style in the best possible way. And, let’s face it, linen just looks effortlessly chic. When you’re packing for your summer getaway, don’t leave linen behind—it’ll be your new best friend in the heat. Whether you’re heading to a tropical destination or enjoying a summer town break, linen is the perfect choice for a stylish yet laid-back holiday vibe.
