How to wear summer separates

Look for a big, soft canvas bag that you can use instead of a suitcase. When you get to your destination it’ll be perfect to take shopping and to the beach

Pair a simple swimsuit with a long-line kaftan, a sarong, or a shirt and denim shorts. Be sun smart – add a hat and a pair of sunglasses.

Classic black and white T-shirts are a must when you’re on holiday. If the weather’s warm you can wear one on its own; if not, add a shirt or a cardigan. If you’re feeling adventurous, twist up your kaftan to make a cowl-neck top to wear over it.

Accessories don’t take up much space in your travel bag, but adding them to your outfits after dark can transform casual clothing into smart ensembles that work at barbecues and for dinner or drinks with friends. Slipping on a pair of wedge heels is another simple way to bring a little evening drama to a daytime look.

For cooler evenings, a classic black T-shirt and black leggings make a great base for a range of outfits. Simply layer colourful pieces over the top. A pair of wedge heels will give your legs a sexy long line, and chunky accessories are a stylish finishing touch.
