Summer Style, Sorted: What to Wear on Holiday, Safari & the Beach.
Summer isn’t just about the heat it’s about freedom, movement, and being comfortable while looking like you actually planned your outfit. Whether you’re jetting off for a beach break, heading into the wild on safari, or just escaping your 9–5, knowing what to wear (and why) makes all the difference.
Here’s how to dress for three key summer escapes without compromising on style or comfort.
☀️ 1. Holiday Mode: Light, Breathable, Effortless
The Goal: Stay cool. Look polished. Be photo-ready.
Fabrics to wear: Linen, cotton, bamboo blends natural, breathable, quick to dry.
For Men:
Linen shirts (short or long-sleeved, rolled up).
Relaxed chino shorts or drawstring trousers.
Lightweight loafers, clean white sneakers, or espadrilles.
For Women:
Flowy maxi dresses, linen co-ords, or breezy jumpsuits.
Slide sandals or low-profile sneakers.
Oversized sunglasses and a straw hat = always a win.
Style Tip: Keep prints subtle, colors light, and fabrics airy. Save the heavy denim for another season.
2. Safari Style: Functional Meets Fashionable
The Goal: Protection, comfort, and blending with nature (while still looking put-together).
Fabrics to wear: Ripstop cotton, moisture-wicking blends, breathable tech-fabric.
Color palette: Khaki, olive, tan, grey avoid bold colors (they attract bugs and heat).
For Men & Women:
Lightweight, long-sleeved shirts (roll-up sleeves, UV protection ideal).
Cargo trousers or safari-style shorts.
Wide-brimmed hats, polarized sunglasses.
Closed shoes: hiking boots or breathable safari sneakers.
Style Tip: Layer smart. Mornings can be cool, midday scorching. A breathable overshirt or utility vest works wonders.
Bonus: Leave the loud patterns and flashy accessories at home. You want to blend in, not alarm the wildlife.
3. Beach Days: Easy, Breezy, Sun-Ready
The Goal: Comfort, movement, and sun safety with a side of confidence.
Fabrics to wear: Quick-dry, UV-protective, or loose-weave cottons.
For Men:
Swim shorts that double as daytime wear.
Open short-sleeve shirts or sleeveless tanks.
Flip-flops, sliders, or water-resistant slip-ons.
For Women:
Bikini or one-piece under a flowy kaftan or sarong.
Wide-brim hat and oversized tote bag.
Espadrilles or sandals with secure straps.
Style Tip: Go bold with prints here tropical, tie-dye, color-block. This is where you show personality.

Final Word: Dress With Purpose, Not Panic
Looking good in summer doesn’t mean sweating through heavy fabrics or forcing style into the heat. It means choosing clothes that work with the weather, not against it. Choose smart fabrics, dress for the occasion, and let your style breathe.
