There’s something magical about jetting off on a summer holiday. Whether it’s a sun-soaked week in the Med or a long weekend exploring a European city, one thing’s for sure – packing the right outfits can make your trip feel effortless and enjoyable. If you’re a woman, comfort and confidence are just as important as looking stylish. Here’s how to strike the perfect balance on your next getaway.
1. Light Layers & Breezy Fabrics
Hot climates call for breathable, natural fabrics that keep you cool and comfortable. Look for cotton, linen, or soft viscose pieces – they let your skin breathe and help you stay fresh in the heat.
Floaty tunics, loose shirts, and relaxed-fit trousers are must-haves. They’re great for layering too – perfect for air-conditioned airports or cooler evenings.
2. Daytime Sightseeing Style
Exploring local sights or strolling through markets? Go for easy, comfortable outfits that still feel pulled together. Think:
- Midi dresses – flattering, airy, and fuss-free
- Culottes or lightweight trousers – pair with a short sleeved blouse or relaxed tee
- Comfortable sandals – flat or low wedge, ideally with support for all-day walking
A vibrant floral print dress that’s perfect for daytime sightseeing or evening dinners.
A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses are practical and chic. Add a crossbody bag for hands-free convenience.
3. Poolside or Beach Looks
A flattering swimsuit is a holiday essential. Whether you prefer a one-piece or a bikini, confidence is key. Layer with:
- Kaftans / Kimonos or sarongs – perfect for heading to lunch without a full outfit change
- Wide sun hats – for both sun protection and timeless style
- Sliders or espadrilles – easy to slip on and off
Don’t forget your SPF, a great beach tote, and a good book!
4. Evenings Out – Dining & Sunset Walks
Evenings on holiday are the perfect time to dress up a little – but still stay cool and comfortable. Some lovely evening outfit ideas:
- Wrap or maxi dresses – feminine and flattering, ideal with a statement necklace
- Wide-leg trousers with a camisole – elegant yet relaxed
- Light knit or shawl – just in case there’s a breeze
Add a bold lipstick, a touch of bronzer, and you’re holiday-glam ready.
5. Accessories That Work Hard

- Neutral sandals – to go from day to night
- Statement jewellery – instantly elevate your look
- Light scarves – perfect for layering or using as a wrap
