The best part about summer? Well, besides the warmer weather and longer days, it’s all about that well-deserved trip away. Whether you love to explore exciting cities or appreciate picture-perfect nature, we could all use a bit of escapism to wind down, spend time with loved ones and soak up that vitamin D.
Once you’ve decided on your destination, the next step is to figure out what you’re going to wear. The key is to pack getaway clothing that’s not only stylish, but also practical – the last thing you want is to forget to bring a jacket with you and feel chilly when the sun goes down. Not to mention forgetting to wear comfy shoes for long walks and ending up with sore feet. Trust us, you really don’t want that to happen…
Which is why we’re here to help you with your packing list. From cute co-ords to soul-boosting shades, we’ve put together 4 summer weekend getaway outfits that are perfect for beach days, glamping adventures and more.
1. For The Countryside Escape
If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of living in a city, then escaping to the countryside for some peace and quiet will do you wonders. It’s not hard to relax when you’re surrounded by fresh green views.
Let your look be inspired by nature and opt for mood-lifting floral shorts. Styling yours with a white frill T-shirt complements the pretty print. For chilly mornings, layering options are a must. A can't-be-without blue denim jacket will come in handy for lower temperatures. With all the blissful strolls you’ll be having, keep your footwear classic and comfy with a pair of white trainers.
2. For the Sunny Beach Trip
With warm waves and sunny skies, nothing channels that endless summer feeling more than being at the beach. Whether you’re swimming in the sea or topping up your tan, you’ll be having a good time doing whatever you love the most.
Dreaming of the perfect swimwear? Look no further than this floral bikini top paired with the matching bottoms. For walks along the seafront, look to a pair of woven strap sliders and cute straw-effect hat. Additionally, you can always count on denim shorts as the perfect getaway clothing item. Oh, and don’t forget to block out the glare on brighter days with some seriously cool rectangle sunglasses. Think of the selfies…
3. For the Glamping Adventure
Glamping is a great way to explore the great outdoors without the whole roughing-it-out experience of traditional camping. No need to deal with sudden storms, uncomfortable sleeping bags, insects and creepy crawlers at night. Thank goodness for that…
For this particular kind of weekend away, it’s essential to pack getaway clothing that will have you prepared for unpredictable weather changes. On a rainy day, reach for a hooded mac to keep you dry. Practical and seriously fashionable, look to a woven backpack to carry around your outdoor essentials such as a water bottle and sun cream. Love playful patterns? Go for gingham with this pink crop shirt and coordinate with the matching shorts.
4. For the Thrilling City Break
Even if you’re not jetting off to the likes of New York, having a quick city break nationally can still be just as exciting. Being in a city also gives you the great option to dress up more than you normally would for glamorous plans.
For something that’ll effortlessly take you from brunch to bar, this chic black co-ord made up of a crop blazer and shorts will do just that. Gold accessories such as a chunky chain necklace and hoop earrings are a great way to enhance any outfit. Want to lift your look even more? Slip on a pair of block heel mules. Perfect for storing your valuables, you can always rely on a cross-body bag. Now, go make those reservations…
