Google ‘resort wear’, and you’re more than likely to see the Australian label Zimmermann appear. The brand’s designs are so synonymous with vacation mode, irrespective of whether you’re in Ibiza or Byron Bay. Secretly, I could wear this matching printed scarf bikini and short set while hanging laundry and feel like I’m on a Roman holiday—that’s the power resort wear possesses. Serotonin-boosting and wanderlust-inducing—these silhouettes are designed to make you feel like you’re living one endless summer vacation.
This sentiment extends to accessories, too. It’s safe to say bucket hats are here to stay, especially if it is as stylish as this Loewe bright orange version with signature ties. You’ll stand out from the beach crowd and fashionably protect your face from the sun.
To play mum for a moment, ensure you’re doubling down with a good SPF 50+ and moisturiser. I suggest Naked Sundays, which acts as a primer and protects and hydrates skin with a subtle glow.

Better together. Easy matching co-ords, like this silk stripe short and shirt combo by Sandro, are the backbone of the perennial jet-setter’s sunkissed wardrobe. It offers endless styling combinations. Wear it casually to the beach as a swimsuit cover-up up, or elevate it with jewellery and a summer blazer for a casual evening out. Co-ord outfits are your best summer vacation friend since you can mix-and-match them with other separates and save on packing.
