Summer Holiday Packing Is My Worst Nightmare – Here Are 4 Outfits That Never Fail Me

Paid Partnership

The countdown for summer holidays begins, so too does the endless scroll in pursuit of the perfect summer holiday outfits. As someone who rarely experiments with colours and textures in my day-to-day, all cards are off when it comes to holiday looks. Vacation dressing is a time to let loose, which makes holiday shopping all the more exhilarating.

As much as I'd love to pretend I'm organised, my pre-flight routine typically consists of panic-scrolling on ASOS to shop a new bikini, beach cover-up, or a new pair of sandals. Why? Because ASOS is one of the few places where you can shop hundreds of brands on the same website, making the process much less painstaking. Not to mention, the next-day delivery has saved me more times than I'd like to admit.

While ASOS is the perfect destination for all things holiday-wear, however, scrolling through the website can be a little time-consuming, with one search for 'dress' yielding a staggering 25,000 results. As a seasoned ASOS shopper I've done the hard work for you, and found four perfect holiday outfit formulas from ASOS that will make packing for your next holiday a dream.

From brilliant summer dresses, to the perfect summer sandals, ASOS is the place to go for all things holiday. Keep scrolling for some major inspiration.

The Beach Dress

The first rule about holiday dressing? There are no rules. A crochet dress is as versatile a packing item as it gets. You can wear it over you bikini as you lounge poolside, or wear it to dinner with a slip dress underneath and some gold jewellery.

The Linen Set

Top tip: pack a few pairs of linen trousers, and you'll never run out of holiday outfits. The styling potential of linen trousers endless - my preference? A crisp linen shirt, and the comfiest sandals I can get my hands on.

The Denim Short

Denim shorts are arguably the foundation of summer dressing. They're versatile, comfortable, and with so many styles to choose from, you're bound to find your perfect pair. I especially love a pair of boyfriend denim shorts, styled with a scarf top (they're back!) and some fisherman sandals for the perfect finishing touch.

The Satin Skirt

For evenings out, there's nothing I enjoy more than a simple satin skirt. Not only can you style it up and down depending on the occasion, but they also go with practically everything. For breezy summer dinners, I recommend pairing your satin skirt with a lacy crop top and a pair strappy heels.
