BEACH HOLIDAY

Sun-kissed skin, salt-licked hair, sand-covered toes… and a wardrobe to make the beach stop and stare. We’ve got it covered…

Menswear

From the white-washed Greek Islands to the hidden coves of Ibiza, McArthurGlen Bridgend has a stunning array of stylish kit for a beach holiday. Keep your look classy with soft cotton polos by Tommy Hilfiger, and camp-collar shirts by BOSS. But for a bit more punch, a bold floral shirt from Superdry is a winner. Printed swim shorts by White Stuff announce fun intentions, while flip-flops by Dune and a pair of contemporary sunglasses complete the look.

Womenswear

This summer, bohemia returns. Nail the beach vibe with brands such as Calvin Klein and Joules adopting vintage swimsuit and bikini references for a classy coastal look. Barely-there throw-on dresses by Jack Wills and M&S elevate the hippie vibe, while a chunky pair of sandals from Carvela lift the look in every sense of the word. Accessorise with angular eyewear, a wide-brimmed sun hat, and a smattering of gold jewellery for some vintage glamour.

Kids

Kids’ beachwear is here – with luxury fashion brands releasing cute and comfortable collections for sand-loving little ones. This season’s kidswear collections at Saltrock, Joules, and more are fun, colourful, and full of vibrant prints and patterns. Hats are a must for protection from the sun, so check out the excellent caps and bucket styles by Mountain Warehouse.

Luggage

Your luggage will depend on the type of beach holiday you go on, but no matter what, we’ve got it covered. Check out the rattan-style hold-alls at Kurt Geiger or the colourful canvas totes from Radley, which are the perfect size. They’ll look just as at home at a luxury resort or taken to an off-the-tracks hidden cove. Otherwise, a smaller boho over-the-shoulder bag by Carvela is a great way to accessorise your beach bar look.
