Summer is here in full force and for most of us in the capital, you know what that means: vacation! Around this time of the year, the dry heat in the Gulf makes most of us want to schedule our getaways to more scenic locales with forgiving weather.
Documenting our vacations is but natural, and packing fun outfits is a huge part of a vacation. How about incorporating the trends straight off designer runways?
You will need to pack clothes that are both comfortable and fun, while not compromising on style. Here’s a round-up of what celebs are flaunting this season, keeping comfort in mind. You can experiment with these runway trends and make them your own.
Floral Prints
Nothing screams summer like florals, and like always, florals are huge this year too. Wear it in your dresses, scarves, or even in your footwear. It is a very versatile style and you can play around with it to find a style that suits you.
Oversized Shades
The perfect example of being protected from the sun and looking like a diva is to don those cute, vintage peepers. You can buy good ones anywhere in the capital from Forever 21 to Ardene. Aldo stocks a fun range too.
Tote Bag
These aren’t just cute to look at, they also carry all the little knick-knacks that you want to keep handy on vacation.

Thong Slippers or Flip Flops
Let your feet breathe, and look pretty while they are at it in thong slippers or flip flops. Fluffy, faux fur, colourful and plush you will find them in all sizes.
A Flowy- Beachy Jumpsuit
Jumpsuits are THE final word in comfort and class! Apart from the minor hassles they pose when one has to use the restroom, jumpsuits are great for a vacation because they cover you up, look great on you and, unlike dresses, you don’t have to worry about the wind causing your skirt to flyaway. Invest in a pastel-hued jumpsuit and team it with a hat, shades and a lovely pop of lip gloss!
Sundress And Sneakers
If you are a dress person and nothing but a pretty little dress will do it for you, then go ahead and pick up some fun pieces to rock your vacation. Asymmetrical hems, high-low styles and cold shoulders are all the rage right now. Choose a style that flatters your body type though, and you are good to go. Pair it with a comfortable pair of converse or sneakers for a chic, fun vibe.
Wide Leg Pants
The trendier cousin of the maxi skirt, wide-leg pants are the ultimate fashion accessory for both daywear and evening wear. The best part is, they work great if your legs aren’t your best assets and you’d rather hide the cellulite.
Do remember that the point of a vacation is to let loose and have fun (which is why we haven’t included those painful stilettos or uber-tight dresses in this list). So go ahead, embrace these trends and have a great vacation.
Bon voyage!
