The time is coming to update your summer wardrobe and to get your holiday checklist sorted. There is never enough space in your suitcase to take all that you need and so here are a few tips on versatile outfits to take on your trip away to sunnier shores this year.

Statement Jewellery is a key item for your holiday; it is great way to turn an everyday outfit into something spectacular for a night out. Items must be bold in colour and chunky, multicoloured beads would be perfect and embellished bib necklaces are everywhere this season. For day wear carved wrist cuffs and bangles are a great way to add colour to an outfit. Giorgio Armani added the beading and jewels typical of Rajasthani dancing girls to his summer collection this year and shoes have not escaped the trend.  Geox Roxy is a lovely metallic sandal with diamante detailing through the centre of the design and HB Laurel is a mule with block crystal decorations.

Ethnic Print dresses are a must for your holiday buys because they are so adaptable and easy to pack. They can be worn to the beach thrown over a bikini or dressed with heels to make a great outfit for the evening. The intricate tribal prints would go fantastically well with these neutral but formal styles- Gabor Blaise and Unisa Luena.

Gladiator sandals are everywhere on the high street at the moment and are the perfect choice of Stylish holiday footwear. Glamour magazine advises that “the more tribal the better”. A great alternative to flip flops, they are perfect for relaxing on holiday, for once a trend does not require you to sacrifice comfort for fashion and they look fantastic with flowing floral dresses. We recommend Ecco Groove and Josef Seibel Zee if you would like to try this trend for the summer.

A hat is now essential wear for the beach to keep off the mid day sun and panamas are the perfect solution, being both stylish and practical. They add glamour to any beach outfit, especially when paired with the elegant oversized sunglasses available this season. If you would like to add Hollywood glamour to your holiday wardrobe try H.B Ash or Menbur Gene.

For city breaks a comfortable and stylish pair of shoes is a necessity, Josef Seibel Jasmin is a lovely Mary Jane style trainer pump, perfect for sightseeing and Geox Cyndi, a casual loafer fits the European style for the season.

Packing for holiday is always difficult but versatility is key, take outfits and shoes that can be dressed up and down to fit all of the scenarios of the trip.
