Brits voted 'worst dressed on holiday' According to a survey by Tripadvisor.co.uk "the British have been voted the worst–dressed on holiday". It seems that holidaymakers not accustomed to long hot summers don't have wardrobes geared up for warm weather (sounds familiar to us in NI!).
We know we need to be cool and comfortable and that often takes priority, but with a little thought and effort we can all learn to be more stylish in the sun.
What to look for:
Don't assume that everything in your favourite retailer's holiday range will suit you and that you will find your entire holiday wardrobe in one shop.
Do try to plan your outfits and think about items that can be worn from the beach to the bar. For ladies, a stylish below the knee kaftan in a good colour can easily be dressed up with a change of shoes and some accessories.
Don't forget that you need to look good on the beach too, just like all the locals do. Do treat yourself to a couple of good bikinis/costumes/swimming trunks and a few good cover–up pieces such as a sarong, shorts, beach dress etc.
Do take some smarter clothes for th! e town or going out at night. Ladies, don't forget a bit of a heel, a couple of dresses and some tasteful accessories and gents, some modern short sleeved shirts and a lightweight jacket will spruce up your look.
Do follow the European style example and choose fewer, better quality items that you know you look good in rather than taking masses of clothes and shoes you're not sure really suit you and are unlikely to wear.
