I have had lots of requests for some style pics for holiday dressing over 50… so I have put together a selection …all similar to items I pack in my own case for summer holidays.
For me white or off white jeans and trousers are a wardrobe staple on summer holidays – I usualy take both skinny and flared.
White trousers £45 from House of Fraser
white jeans £41.30 Biba from House of Fraser
I find kimonos are great as beach cover ups, for slipping over white trousers and top, and for wearing as a dressing gown- a versatile must on holiday
Colourful kimonos are fabulous for wearing over beachwear…and with trousers and jeans…I mostly buy my cover ups at local markets on holiday – they tend to be lighter weight thantyhe ones in UK shops – and normally a lot cheaper ..and brighter!
Kimono £32.50 from House of Fraser
Kaftan £82.50 from John Lewis
I frequently buy multi-coloued tunic dresses to wear as tops and often add a chain belt for a retro look
Tunic top £95 from ASOS
For a more chic look on holiday I like to wear Bardot style tops…anyone who has followed my style tips over the years will know I am a fan of Baukjen…I also have 2 Baukjen halter top I bought a few years ago- they go straight in the suitcase every holiday
Bardot top £41 from Baukjen
Off the shoulder top £41 from Baukjen
Swimwear
I look for swimwear that you can buy according to bra size…Fantasie offer a good range at House of Fraser
I love my summer dresses, and enjoy wearing on holiday dresses I wouldn’t necessarily wear at home
Easy to wear for sightseeing Dresses £69.30 from House of Fraser
Grown up relaxed dressing £49 from Baukjen
Chic sightseeing …macrame trim dress £135 from John Lewis
Chic for evenings ..Red dress £78 from Little Black Dress
