With summer holidays just around the corner, planning your outfits and vacation looks will soon be at the top of your to-do list.

Whether you’re hitting the beaches of the Mediterranean or planning city breaks to explore ancient ruins and old towns, core pieces of your summer wardrobe will play a big role in your vacation dressing. Most importantly, summer tops. Your choice of top, shirt or cami can often make or break your look. In this article we delve into the love for statement tops, what to pack this summer season and core pieces not to miss while packing for your summer getaway.

Statement Summer Tops

Summer is the perfect time to experiment with your wardrobe and add some fun, bold pieces. And what better way to do that than with statement summer tops? These are not your everyday basic tanks or tees, but rather eye-catching, unique pieces that can elevate any outfit. From bright colours and vibrant patterns to interesting silhouettes and details, there are endless options when choosing a statement summer top to create a bold look for your holiday wardrobe.

With styles including embellished bra tops with diamanté detailing and bold colours to cropped shirts and cami tops with delicate lace and satin fabrics in bold colours. These statement additions to your summer wardrobe can be styled to create both day and night looks for your next summer getaway. Pair your cropped bra tops with simple shorts and trousers, or match them with their complementary skirt or shorts for a complete statement look. Meanwhile cami tops and holiday shirts and blouses in bold colours can be worn with embellished skirts, tailored wide-leg trousers or shorts for transitional daytime to nighttime summer looks.

Packing For Your Summer Getaway

When it comes to packing for a summer getaway, the key is to pack light but not compromise on style. Core pieces that are versatile and can be mixed and matched to create different looks are essential. This includes your choice of summer tops. While statement tops may be the highlight of your holiday wardrobe, make sure to also pack some staple pieces that can be dressed up or down effortlessly.

1. Basic Tops

Basic tops are a must-have for any summer wardrobe. They are versatile and can be styled in countless ways, making them perfect for travelling light. Pack neutral colours like white, black, and beige, as well as one or two statement coloured tanks and shirts to add some variety to your holiday outfits. These can be paired with shorts, skirts, and trousers for different looks. For a day spent exploring the city or visiting tourist attractions, opt for a basic tank top with high-waisted shorts and comfortable sandals. For a dressier evening look, pair a statement coloured shirt with tailored trousers and heels for a chic dinner outfit.

Basic tops, including Johnny Was peasant tops, are a must-have for any summer wardrobe.

2. Choose summer-friendly fabrics

One thing’s for sure, the summer heat can be unbearable and make dressing stylish even more difficult. While your stunning evening dress, made of a thick, luxury fabric is a beautiful garment, in the summer sun, you’ll feel overwhelmed by the heat of and thickness of the fabric. Choose summer-friendly fabrics when packing, such as linen, cotton, silk, and chiffon to ensure you are comfortable while travelling but still stylish.
These lightweight fabrics will keep you cool and fresh while exploring your holiday destination.

3. Don’t forget the layering pieces

Even though summer is known for its hot weather, it’s always a good idea to pack some light layering pieces just in case. Pack a lightweight overshirt, beach cover up or evening jacket that can easily be thrown over your summer tops and dresses for when the evening breeze cools down the heat of the summer day.

4. Embrace bold colours and patterns

If there’s any time to experiment with different styles, colours and patterns, it’s summer! Summer is a great time to have fun with your wardrobe and introduce yourself to bold prints and colours that you would typically choose not to wear. Packing a few items including pops of colour and a statement evening look in a bold print will allow you to create fun and daring looks for your summer holiday.

When packing for your summer getaway, make sure to include core pieces such as basic tops, versatile fabrics, layering pieces, accessories and comfortable footwear to create a stylish and functional holiday wardrobe. Statement summer tops are also a must-have for adding some boldness to your vacation outfits, so don’t be afraid to pack a few eye-catching options. With these tips in mind, you’re now ready to pack for the ultimate summer getaway.
