Our Top 5 Must-Haves for Summer Holidays
Planning a summer holiday is an exciting time, especially if you’re in charge of planning your itinerary, as you can choose all the best tourist spots to visit on your travels.
Packing your suitcase? Not so exciting. Rifling through your wardrobe and looking for suitable holiday clothes can be a stressful experience, especially if you’re unsure what to look for. It’s easy to end up with a bulging suitcase filled with outfit options, many of which you might not even wear during your holiday.
At Yumi, we believe it’s important to wear clothing you feel great in when you’re travelling, and building a capsule wardrobe is a great place to start. It allows you to curate key pieces that can be used to create multiple outfits and saves you the worry of having to fit too many clothing items into your luggage.
Follow our guide to find your ideal holiday wardrobe essentials that can be worn year after year.

What to wear on holiday
When deciding what to wear on holiday, it’s essential to balance comfort and style. Lightweight and breathable fabrics are best for keeping cool in the summer sun.
Packing versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched allows you to create various outfits without overpacking and struggling to zip up the suitcase.
For city explorations, pack comfortable shoes for walking and versatile outfits that can be dressed up or down for days you don’t return to the hotel before heading out to dinner. For beach holidays, ensure you have lightweight clothing that can cover you up to shade you from the sun.
But the most important thing? Choose clothes that reflect your personal style and make you feel confident and relaxed during your holiday.
Holiday jumpsuits
Holiday jumpsuits are a versatile staple for your summer getaway, as the right one allows you to transition your outfit easily from day to night. Opt for a lightweight material to keep cool in the heat, and with plenty of styles and cuts, find the perfect cut to flatter your body shape.
Our Mela Ditsy Daisy Culotte has a soft-touch fabric to keep you comfortable from day to night. With culotte trousers and a tie-waist, this jumpsuit flatters all figures and can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion.
Pair it with a wide-brimmed hat, oversized sunglasses, sandals or trainers and a casual bag for a daytime look. Or, dress it up for an evening meal with heeled sandals and jewellery for a more elegant look.
A one-piece wonder is comfortable and saves you time on outfit planning, making it an ideal choice for your summer holiday wardrobe.
Holiday evening dresses
Summer evenings abroad call for stunning holiday evening dresses. Whether heading out for a fancy dinner or a cocktail by the beach, finding the right holiday evening dress is all part of the fun.
Crafted from a lightweight material, Urban TouchFloral Print Pleated Midi Dress has a pleated skirt and a stunning floral print perfect for holiday evenings. It’s also available in 10 colours, so you can pick your favourite with classic pastel pinks and blues to bolder hues.

Holiday midi dresses
Midi dresses are an absolute staple of summer elegance. Falling between the knee and ankle, these dresses offer a flattering length that suits various body types.
Find a dress you’ll be packing year after year, whether heading to the beach or a city destination.
Our Ikrush Haniya Wrap Front Printed Midi Dress has a wrap front and a figure-flattering silhouette. It’s a colourful print, and its lightweight material makes it perfect for any occasion.

The Yumi Tan Faux Leather Rattan Bag does just that. As a crossbody bag, it’s ideal for city exploring or heading to lunch by the beach, with pockets inside to store valuables.

Holiday sandals
No summer holiday wardrobe is complete without stylish and comfortable sandals.
