3 Great Fashion Essentials for Some Winter Sun

As the summer months turn slowly into winter, you may have already booked your little family holiday to escape the doom and gloom and catch some continental sun.  This is a great way to make the year’s summer fashion last that little bit longer, so without further ado, here’s a short guide to the fashion essentials you should ensure are in your suitcase when you go away this winter.

The Crop Top Revival

If you’re looking for the perfect top to throw on over your favourite bikini to stop you burning while you walk to the pool, a really great idea is to get out a colourful crop top.  Crop tops were a central focus at this year’s spring/summer fashion weeks, as when worn correctly they can be a real statement piece.

To wear the trend well, pull on a pair of short denim shorts and ensure your crop top is brightly coloured; the whole point of it is to let the Mediterranean sun bounce off you, keeping you fresh and looking great for the pool.

Nautical Stripes for the Sea

What better place to wear this classic 2013 trend then by the sea?  The nautical stripe trend has been big in both men and women’s fashion this year, so you could even get the whole family into the nautical mood.

For a chic evening style, pair this trend with a complementary statement heel which is sure to turn heads. Accessorise the trend with jewellery like a silver bundle bracelet from somewhere like Gift and Wrap to really set your look on edge.

To go a step further, wear a pair of thick, blacked-out sunglasses to really maximise the monochrome look. This is sure to make you feel glamorous and will ensure you stay on-trend.

The Timeless Midi Skirt

The best thing about the midi skirt is its length – short enough to radiate sass, but long enough to keep you warm when the sun starts to go down.  Midi skirts come in all manner of colours and patterns, as you can see from this great Pinterest board, so you can pair this timeless piece with almost anything.

A great item to combine a midi skirt with is a gorgeous, glossy clutch bag in a matching colour to really set your look on fire.

So there you have it, three really great fashion essentials that you should be packing in your suitcase when you head off for some winter sun.
