Summer favourites

We are in mid August, the peak of the summer. With many people now jetting off on holiday what are those best picks to have with you in your suitcase? These picks are largely based on the prospect of you holidaying somewhere abroad, however if you are staying in the UK don't worry, still pack them but just throw the odd jumper in here and there!

1. High waisted shorts- An obvious choice, high waisted shorts are a must and go with virtually anything, particularly blue or black denim ones. They are sold anywhere and go perfectly with a patterned crop top which are also littering the shops. Not only this but high waisted shorts are also perfect for a night out, allowing you to show off that summer glow. Taylor Swift, who you know is a huge style icon of mine has worn high waisted shorts frequently on her current tour 1989.   

2. The 90's crop top- As I mentioned above, high waisted shorts and the crop top make a perfect pair. I am heading off to Greece in 10 days and my suitcase will be filled with both these items. This is also a popular item to go into the summer sale which started recently in the UK and therefore if you are jetting off in the next couple of weeks, get down to your local hughstreet and buy some! The crop top varies in style but I particularly like the 90's high necked crop which has reentered the high street this season. 

3. Anything white!- White is perfectly coupled with a summer tan, and therefore whenever summer stock hits the shops, many white products are in the collections. From trousers to crop tops, to blouses anything white will compliment your tan perfectly. I highly recommend wearing white nearing the end of your holiday as it will enhance your glow rather than wash you out. 

4. Skorts- Skorts, what might look like a skirt is actually shorts. Its the most practical creation for a summer holiday and many come in a variety of patterns which go with anything, but particularly camis. Many skorts are also affordable and therefore are perfect for a holiday where they might get ruined.

5. The playsuit- One of the easiest things to wear in intense summer heat, the playsuit is perfect for your holiday. They come in a range of styles with some for more upmarket occasions or some which are suited for messing around on the beach. I especially like the playsuit with the slit across the midriff as they show off your summer tan whilst keeping it classy.
