Love Island season 12 is underway, which means it's officially time to gather round our TV sets and gawk at all the desirable holiday clothes that come with it. From designer sunglasses and chic crochet to coordinating couple ensembles and teeny-tiny hot pants, this year's looks are truly a sight to behold. In fact, these might be the best Love Island outfits ever.
The Love Island girls have fully embraced main-character dressing this season, turning the villa into a rotating runway of Y2K throwbacks, co-ord sets, and affordable fashion. Think oversized sunglasses, lace dresses, and two piece dresses styled with strappy heels. There’s a clear love for tonal dressing - neutrals one day, head-to-toe red the next - paired with statement pieces like metallic mini skirts, asymmetric tops, and sheer mesh layers.
As in previous seasons, Love Island has partnered with eBay, who will be supplying the couples with pre-loved garments, although they're also allowed to bring in their own clothes. Online fashion brands like Oh Polly, House of CB, and Outcast, are clear favourites, but you’ll also spot vintage pieces and unexpected accessories that make their outfits feel more personal and trend-aware. Whether it’s a day date or a dramatic re-coupling, every looks glam. Take new bombshell Yasmin Pettet, who wore a daring lace dress for her first night in the villa by Murci, making the ultimate statement with the keyhole cut-out and reveal-and-conceal vibe (psst: you can shop it below).
From Maya Jama's designer outfits to the multitude of love triangles, it's impossible to not be inspired. Whether you're looking to get dressed up in a Love Island-approved bikini or cool down in the Majorca dusk in a floaty maxi dress, there's a wealth of inspiration for your next hot-weather holiday.
So to celebrate a summer of love, we've cherry-picked our favourite style choices from Love Islandseason 12(and exactly where you can snap them up for yourselves).
