What to wear to an island vacation?

Get ready to pack your suitcase for your island vacation! Here's all the information you need to dress stylishly for every activity.

With the 15th of August fast approaching, it's the perfect time for Greeks to prepare our suitcases for our summer holidays. When choosing what clothes to pack, it's essential to consider the different outings and occasions you'll be attending and plan out your outfits accordingly. This will help ensure that you don't bring unnecessary pieces and only pack clothes you'll wear and enjoy during your trip.

Tips for your Outfits during your island vacation

In the Beach 

Remember to pack your best beachwear! To up your beach game, opt for a swimsuit with a bold print and bright colours that will turn heads. You can also take it up a notch by pairing it with a crisp white linen shirt to add a touch of sophistication to your outfit. 

In the Alleys

Strolling around the streets of the island requires stylish yet comfortable attire. Choosing the proper footwear is crucial, especially since you'll be doing a lot of walking. Loafers are a remarkable summer shoe option that seamlessly blends aesthetics and comfort, mainly when you invest in a high-quality pair. So ditch the sneakers and opt for these versatile shoes that will keep your feet happy while you explore the island.

At the Pool Party

Summer is about embracing the latest fashion trends, and knitted fabric is definitely at the top. A glance at the runway shows, and celebrity fashion choices would clarify how much this fabric is in demand. If you're hesitant to wear it in the city, you can always pair it with your swimsuit for a fun pool or beach party look. Trust me; this trend is worth trying out!

In the Club or the Bar

For your night out on the island, stepping up your fashion game and dressing more formally or glamorously than your day-to-day outfits is essential. However, you want to stay moderate and avoid looking out of place among others who may have just come from the beach. To strike the perfect balance, I recommend incorporating a bold piece, like animal print, that follows current trends while showing that you've put thought into your outfit. Complement your look with lightweight summer fabrics and add some silver-toned jewellery to adapt it to the occasion.

At the Restaurant

When dining out on vacation, it's important to remember the restaurant's dress code. While a seaside tavern may allow for more casual attire, a more formal venue requires a touch of elegance. However, this doesn't mean sacrificing comfort in the heat. Opt for an airy cotton ensemble that is versatile for various summer events. This way, you can enjoy your meal without worrying about compromising style and sophistication.

On the Way Back

To ensure your trip home is as comfortable as possible, comfort should be non-negotiable. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style. Opt for shorts, which is always an excellent choice for a summer trip. And don't be afraid to mix it up with new colours and patterns.
