If you’re lucky enough to be jetting off for some winter
sun this year, then lucky you! When the autumn and winter months kick in,
there’s nothing better than escaping to sunnier climes and if you have the good
fortune to be doing just that, then make the most of it. If you’re wondering
what to pack, it’s understandable – packing bikinis and vest tops when the
weather at home is so questionable can be a difficult thing to fathom. To help
you, here are a few tips on what to pack for your winter break.
By the Pool
Let’s face it, one of the main reasons we jet off to a
holiday destination abroad during the winter months is so that we can laze by
the pool and soak up the rays that we wouldn't be privy to back home. If that’s
not enough, the miles upon miles of sandy beaches are usually on the doorstep
too, giving us plenty of opportunity for moonlit walks, sunning ourselves on
sun loungers and building sandcastles.
For this, you’ll need a bikini or one-piece (the swimwear
at George is great quality and very reasonably priced), some sunglasses and
a sunhat of some description. If you have the space, a beach towel would also
be worth taking, although usually, you can use a hotel towel which will do the
job just as well. Don’t forget the suncream either!
Excursions
If, like many, you couldn't bear to spend the entire time
by the pool and you need to explore the area a little during your stay, some
excursions or day trips will be in order. You need to dress sensibly if this is
your plan, because you’ll likely be out and about all day. Sundresses and maxi dresses are perfect for daywear, as
are shorts and strappy tops. Take some suitable walking shoes, such as
trainers, if you’re heading out all day, or some sandals if you’re popping into
the local town. Take a layer or two with you as well – something that can
cover your shoulders if you were to catch the sun, or if a sea breeze emerges.
Evenings
The great thing about sundresses and maxi dresses is they
can be dressed up for the evenings too, which is perfect if you have to travel
light. Take some accessories that will complement your outfit and some wedges
to give your chosen dress a lift.
Take a pashmina or shrug too – it can get chilly in the
evening and you don’t want to be sporting goose pimples if you don’t have to! While these items are the bare minimum, you get
the picture. Don’t forget the camera either – you’re bound to want to capture
some of your holiday moments to remember! Take the opportunity to lie back,
relax and catch the rays; the UK isn't lucky enough to have as much sunshine as
some other parts of the world, so you may as well make the most of it while.
