There’s nothing quite like escaping everyday life in exchange for some much-needed time off in the warmth and sunshine. Whether you’re flying to The Maldives, visiting Florida, or living in the lap of luxury on a cruise, soak up the sun with a few summer holiday outfit ideas.

1. Shorts

A pair of shorts is a must-have in your suitcase. Whether zipping around a new city or relaxing in a deck chair, a good pair of shorts is a holiday essential.

Our casual men's shorts are the ideal leisure time staples. Linen shorts, such as the Sydney 2 shorts in navy, are ideal for wearing around the villa during the day or work perfectly as a cool, smart-casual alternative for evening walks and dinner by the sea.

For lounging near the pool or relaxing on a luxury cruise, our range of women’s lounge shorts will keep you cool and chic. Available in a mixture of patterns and colours, these shorts, with their thoughtful details, are ideal summer outfits additions.

2. T-shirts

Made from comfortable linen and pima cotton, our t-shirts make the ideal holiday partner. Whether you're lounging at the hotel or heading off on a hike, enjoy these moments in pure comfort with our short sleeve men’s t-shirts and short sleeve women’s t-shirts. Easy to move in, thanks to the well-designed fits, breathable fabrics, and thermo-regulating materials, our t-shirts are available in a variety of colours, from capsule wardrobe-friendly basics to pops of fun colour. Pair them with your favourite shorts or chinos for a seemingly effortless style.

Choose between a few different types of fabric when shopping for your t-shirts. Cotton is a staple t-shirt fabric – soft, lightweight, and breathable. Linen is another soft and breathable material that dries really quickly and is ideal for warm weather. Micro-modal is ultra soft on the skin while still being breathable and offers great coverage – perfect for excursions and being out and about.

3. Swimwear

Whether you’re in the pool, the sea, or prefer to relax on the sun lounger, our men’s swimwear makes a splash no matter where you wear them. Designed to be stylish in and out of the water, our quick-drying, super-soft fabrics are teamed with seamless inner linings, a zipped back pocket and an elasticated waistband. Plus, every season we design new prints and colours for you to choose from.

4. Linen

We love linen for summer. Whether you’re having a drink at the bar or making your way to the beach, linen is a light and breathable fabric that keeps you cool even in the warmest climates.

Many people shy away from linen because it’s notorious for getting creased. But our linen is wrinkle-free, so you can relax without the worry of looking untidy after just one wear.

Slip a linen shirt over your swimwear as a breezy cover-up or pair with your favourite slim-leg trousers for wearing to dinner, drinks, or on a date.

We’ve got you covered, whether you’re looking to just refresh a few staples or update your entire suitcase. All that’s left to do is set your out of office on.
